Let's take the Victoria Palace as an example. Cam Mack agreed to pay £26,130,000 for the VP, with £21,130,000 paid in cash on completion, and the remaining £5,000,000 held in escrew as contingency, to be paid between September 2016 and December 2019. It has already been 'negotiated' that the final consideration will be reduced by at least £1,750,000, so the maximum that will be paid for the VP is now £24,380,000. As we have seen, it will probably be somewhat less than that. Here, in part, is the answer to your question! |

Have you heard of any bids other than from the feminist group?

Have you heard of any bids other than from the feminist group? I know that at least two of the major theatre groups are looking at it with a serious view to bidding. ATG and Nimax? |

I've heard that Nederlander and Jujamcyn might also be in the mix. But, do you know if any bids have been made?

All the signs are clearly that he has a passion for theatre. Let's hope that that, coupled with significant financial clout, leads to some great productions. I wonder if he will help to fund some riskier transfers for example? It augurs well that Danny Cohen works for him.

I would say Access would be able to spend money refurbishing the TRH and also competing for more transfers. I wonder if they're on the look out of for more theatres in London? The Shaftesbury with its 1400 seat capacity would be a likely target |

Out of those, Three Tall Women would be the most likely. |

At the risk of trying to flog a dead horse, this could be the opportunity to open Hello, Dolly! over here with Bette that I’ve been waiting for! Although I hope the theatre has a refurb on the horizon.

I would love Three Tall Women to transfer to the Haymarket. I loved it back in 1994 at Wyndham's.

Whilst this is true, it is also the case that other playhouses have housed musicals. But thanks for putting me in my place. |

TRH has housed musicals before, I'm pretty confident I didn't dream Sweet Charity or Marguerite. Presumably they were both on a different scale to Hello Dolly but they were still musicals.

Dolly is massive in scale! Sweet Charity transferred from the Menier so much smaller.

Isn’t the Take That musical doing a couple of weeks there over XMAS? So I assume it can support musicals as well as plays.

He invested in Groundhog Day.... Oh my days.... very interesting. It would take some shoehorning though. Isn’t the Take That musical doing a couple of weeks there over XMAS? So I assume it can support musicals as well as plays. Yes. Broken wings also going in over the summer, although I feel that maybe more semi-staged as its such a new piece. |

Google will reveal pictures of Sweet Charity at TRH if you search adequately. |

I'll be curious to see if Access Entertainment makes more theatres acquisitions after the Haymarket. I could see them going for the Shaftesbury since it's the only musical house that's not owned by the big four or possibly The Criterion if they were willing to sell. They could even go and buy the likes of Nimax but I have my doubts if Nica Burns would sell her company
