A transfer of Heathers from The Other Palace as it seems to be selling well? I suspect Heathers transferring to the West End for the third time is unlikely plus I think they'd rather sell out A 350 seat theatre than struggle to sell a 1100 seat theatre.

There will probably need to be a filler show in here for the time being. A big new show will take 9-12 months to prepare

A big new show will take 9-12 months to prepare I know it's not really a playhouse but I wonder if it might see a play transfer or debut there? Animal Farm was previously mentioned but perhaps something from the National like The Corn is Green for example? The stage version of Spitting Image which was announced a while ago still doesn't have a theatre so maybe that could be a possibility.

I’d imagine we would be more likely to get something like Murder on the Orient Express.. or as you say Animal Farm. Something that is more likely to sell well for a limited season. Wasn’t that Tom Jones musical supposed to be rather good also?

I forgot about Murder on the Orient Express, that'd be a solid option especially since the only place it's going to after Chichester is Bath which makes me wonder if they're eyeing a London run.

It sure was what’s new pussycat… the story of Tom jones the novel … with the music of Tom jibes the singer set in the swinging 60 s quality production in every way set slighting live band costumes choreography a real feel good.

The time must be right for Cats to return! It was rusty on it's last heave around the UK and attendance wasn't great from what I remember. Not sure the films will do ticket sales any favours in the immediate future.

I assumed that the reason for announcing Cinderella’s closure on Bank Holiday Sunday was because they wanted to put tickets on sale for a big summer show this week. Looks like I was wrong and there was no reason that they couldn’t have waited.

They could really rub salt in the wound and put on Soho Cinders 😆

Open air Evita? Pussycat, Orient Express or Animal Farm (the schools!) all very good calls.

The open air Evita would be nice seeing as it was planned for the Barbican summer 2020 and never rescheduled.

Beetlejuice or Groundhog Day could be fun there. I think Beetlejuice would sell better though.

GHD isn't doing anything til next year at the earliest, I believe, so not likely.

He has no gaps until November but perhaps Derren Brown could bring his new show into town. He's always sold well whenever he has come to London.

Another suggestion… Into The Woods after Bath?

Can't we have Hadestown back? Given that it's staged in the round, it could be a great fit...

It's my personal favourite show out of all that I've seen and was so desperate to see it for a second time when it was on at the National, we booked for the following weekend as we saw it near the end of the run. Seems to be mega popular on Broadway so fingers crossed that it returns over here.

My bet is that it could well be JAGGED LITTLE PILL which has announced a November 2022 opening but they haven't declared which theatre.

I think that will be going to an ATG theatre…

I do think people have to remember that you can't take a show from one setting like The Open Air and bung it into an indoor theatre. Even if Legally Blonde is a success, they're not going to transfer straight away. JCS worked pretty well with very little changed. In fact, they even recreated some of the Regents Park foliage. I hated JCS when it went into the Barbican. I had 2 visits booked and didn’t bother with the second one as it had lost all its impact with the slight changes and some poor casting choices. When it returned to the RPOAT it got its sparkle back

CS Lewis is very popular with Americans. And it is family friendly. Might be ok for a limited run even if it is just a smidge festive

The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe is going in from July. Bizarre. It's meant to be an excellent production and a very famous story so should do well, but I always associate the story with Christmas/winter.
