Must say, a Game of Thrones play would hold no appeal for me at all, even if it was directed by Dominic Cooke, but I appreciate I would be very much in the minority!

I think the Shining was meant to be autumn at Harold Pinter, wasn’t it? |

The Pheonix seems a bit small for something GOT based, a certain epicness and scale would be expected. Costumes alone would be big id have thought,with armour etc.
But yeah I'd definitely be interested in it and a HP fan base narrows it down to that, LOTR or Star Wars

GOT play? Hmm. Yeah you’d want a big space wouldn’t you. Like the Dominion. Especially to stage a tourney etc.

Could be that Stranger Things play that was announced to be produced by Sonia Friedman?

No interest in Game of Thrones or Stranger Things. Clips on Gogglebox serve only to make me wonder what people see in some of these American tv programmes. |

I'm thinking it's the Sonia Friedman Stranger Things play going to the Phoenix.

If there's a Stranger Things play, TAKE MY MONEY. There has been one running in the Vaults for a couple of months now.

Move over Bridgerton The Musical, Netflix’s next lawsuit! 😲 |

Yeah I have been tempted by this but some of the reviews put me off. |

So yes this is Stranger Things.. BUT now its opening at another theatre next summer, and not the Phoenix as originally planned.

Interesting; two shows heavily linked to the Phoenix and neither going ahead there now (Into the Woods, Stranger Things). I wonder what will eventually go in after Noises Off.

Maybe Into the Woods will go to the Phoenix now afterall (with a future life hinted at the other day on twitter).
For Stranger Things, if it needs a fairly large venue then the Savoy may be the best option, or Gielgud? Who knows.

The poor Phoenix. With productions constantly getting swapped about. Next we'll hear 2:22 A ghost story will be transferring there with *INSERT NOW-IRRELEVANT POP STAR WITH QUESTIONABLE ACTING ABILITY HERE* starring.

Mostly joking, but wouldn't surprise me if this was the case. It needs to complete its London tour! |

I’m not lying when I say this. Everyone needs to make peace with it 🤣 |

I don’t doubt you have insider knowledge, but so do others, and as the recent will they/won’t they transfers of Doubtfire/Crazy For You/Tammy Faye prove, plans change. |

I know absolutely nothing about Into the Woods, and I definitely don’t think anyone is lying. MrBarnaby is a very reliable and trustworthy poster.
But I’ve seen some cowpoo on this forum in the past about shows I’ve actually worked on. Theatre is a very gossipy industry and sometimes situations arise when everyone in the industry is passing a piece of gossip or a received wisdom around that isn’t entirely accurate. I know I’ve shared gossip here before that turned out to be wrong. Unless someone works on a show and are in the production meetings, it’s gossip - with different degrees of reliability, but still broadly gossip.
Still, without gossip this forum would be pretty boring!

Baz tweeted that The Piano Lesson is looking to transfer to London in 2023, possibly a contender for the Phoenix?
