I think this is our only Comet thread? Please move if not! Anyway, interesting article about the future life of this show over the world. A production in Japanese is happening in Tokyo in 2019 that will be staged in a pros-arch theatre seating less than 850. London is also mentioned; apparently "As for London, a plan should be in place by later this spring, according to Howard Kagan, the lead commercial producer of “Great Comet.” If the show doesn’t end up on the West End, it’ll aim for a non-traditional space. By reuniting the original designers, the London staging will look a bit more like the Broadway production than the Tokyo incarnation, but it’ll still be tailored to fit the venue." There won't be a US tour, but instead the plan is to do sit-down runs across the US. Full article: variety.com/2018/legit/columns/great-comet-musical-whats-next-1202704598/

I think this could work very well in London. I was thinking about it for a while, and I think that a purpose built tent like the one they did for Lazarus and In the Heights in King's cross could work very well..more like a "night out" than traditional theatre.
