The first of the rising stars is Nicholas Hoult, known since his childhood, recognised many years ago when he played opposite Hugh Grant in the British film, ‘About a Boy’. Nicholas Hoult was 11 years old at that time. Yet he was able to capture the emotional expression of needs and desire for bonding that can only be acted by an accomplished actor. Again he was only 11 years old at the time. It was an auspicious start for the young actor. He continued to act in several fine movies.
What is new and exciting is that Nicholas Hoult will open in his West End debut in the play ‘The Boy’. He will be playing alongside the renowned actor Mel Giedroyc. This is a new play.

In contrast, the play Fatal Attraction is a play which is inspired by and a remake of the movie by the same name, Fatal Attraction. The Rising Stars of West End Theatre in this play have not been announced. While the film’s original writer, James Dearden, has written the play, he has make a number of changes in the character development. The play will walk a fine line with being true to the gruesome actions of the movie and a more palatable sanitized version that might be more appreciated by current London audiences. Older plays that are remade speak to new audiences. To entertain new audiences, it is often necessary to make changes in both the plot and character development.
Current rising Stars of the West End Theatre are Martin Harvey as Johnny Castle and Hannah Vassallo as Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman in Dirty Dancing.
