...or not capable of travelling to and from London theatre's to work on such an intensive project these days"

This may be true  :(

ps. But apparently someone saw him at David Gilmour concerts

A project like a musical would be an intensive daily workload though.

It's true.
I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home

Not really, unless he's asked for new songs, the songs are already there and Guy is his musical director, there is really no need of MK doing anything further than, as mentioned before, writing new songs or just see how it's going that would be a day or two, and the rest of work is for Guy, as happened in Chichester. Guy was there in rehearsals and during all previews shows, MK only went once or twice, apart of the opening day for press.

Quite sad news. Still there is hope, but if Guy says that, being him so involved in the musical...
So Long

This would depend on how many new songs are required.
Most of the hard work has already been done so his involvement could be fairly minimal.
Unfortunately Local Hero is a niche attraction and it is a shame it didn't travel around Scotland back in 19.
It was really well done but London theatres take less "risks" since covid.

I'd like to think that the Old Vic would like to have it as it was originally scheduled to be there in 2020 and they are just waiting to the right moment in their agenda but... Who knows. Indeed it would make more sense to be represented at theaters in major cities in Scotland (Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen...) but it needs s a company wanting to take the risk. I think it would make it well there.
