I wonder what will go into Drury Lane when Frozen leaves. Such a wonderful venue but a big one to fill! Does Newsies have another life? Another Disney to go in...? I highly doubt it. I can't imagine the Wembley production transferring in, as it was so venue-specific, and I wouldn't think Disney would bring the Broadway production over so soon after that one... Shame though. Would love to see the show with the sound mixed properly...

Although i suspect for a very short run it were to happen. That production, at least, would sit well. Maybe Josh could open it for a short while before a re-casting.

With new shows recently confirmed for Ambassadors, Apollo, Duke Of York's and Haymarket - where does that leave any outstanding rumours? Anyone have any hints etc?

I second this one, still quite a few gaps, especially for the summer months. Still a gap at the Garrick and Noel Coward I believe? Plus still nothing from Trafalgar or Harold Pinter. There's are only West End mind, the Almeida, Young & Old Vic, Donmar etc still yet to go

He did say this but very casually and it didn’t get any sort of reaction. I wasn’t sure if he was joking or not, so I guess other people must have felt the same.

I think this was intended as a joke, not really sure why

POTUS is incoming, or so I hear. A smaller venue than in New York and I’d guess a much less starry cast.

Next show at the Trafalgar theatre is "the return of one of the best new plays of the century". Any ideas? The History Boys?

21st Century presumably, but it could be anything. Won't be Slave Play then, if it's "returning".

One of the shows I was looking forward to the most in 2024 was Dana H at the Royal Court, hopefully it may be in their upcoming season.

Theatre Royal Bath just announced a new production and tour of The History Boys, so unlikely it's that. I think it'll be a revival of One Man, Two Guvnors with James Corden returning, they were looking to stage it in 2024 in the West End so this would line-up perfectly with that.

It's possible, although the RC has said their new season will be "nine plays from writers making their Royal Court debuts." Lucas Hnath, who wrote Dana H, did a 4-show run there in 2013, so depends how pedantic they're being!
