Has Pretty Woman confirmed it is definitely coming over? A lot of speculation this is going to elbow Waitress out, is that show selling badly? It was announced on a radio station it is coming over in 2020. Waitress isn't doing great buisness, and the reviews have yet to set the box office alight butnthese things do take time. I do know though that Pretty Woman has the Adelphi as their first choice so we will see. |

I think School of Rock will be the next big show to bow out. Could PW go for the Gillian Lynne?

No wing space, no nothing at the GL - My Fair Lady is a HUGE production. Dominion or Palladium are the only two likely houses.

I pray to all my gods that it isn't just a sh*tty Summer filler at the Palladium, we want a RUN with this one!

Great Comet at the GL pls! I'm so confused with everyone wanting Great Comet to come over. Like, I have seen the bootleg and I didn't "get" it, and there is no way we will see that production in that form over here, it would be financial suicide since it bombed once Josh left. It'd need a smart venue and a smaller production for sure. |

I love the cast recording! It's one of those shows you either love or hate I think. Not your typical musical, that's for sure.
I'd love to see it in any form really. But yeah, I realize the GL might be too big now that I think about it.

Great Comet at the GL pls! That would be a great idea. Comet was done in a large tent before moving to the Imperial in NY. |

My Fair Lady has a 5 tonne house set that can only be operated by a robot, not stage hands. It's needs the Dominion or Drury Lane, which is not available unless Frozen backs out. Frozen on Broadway is a the 1/2 price booth on a regular and offered other severely discounted tickets through TDF $50. |

I reckon To Kill a Mockingbird will transfer here, probably with Jeff Daniels. I could see at the Gielgud or if they want a bigger theatre, maybe the Piccadilly.

People have been rumouring Great Comet for a while now, I wonder if Rachel Chavkin's recent presence on the South Bank means someone's looking to raise her profile a bit ready for a Great Comet London run.

I think Comet's life is practically over. She's got a lot on her plate with Hadestown, Lempicka, Black Swan and who knows what else she's developing.

“Exciting” announcement coming from WhatsOnStage tomorrow. Any ideas? Still waiting on casting for a few things. Joseph seems a Baz thing so probably not that.. Casting for On Your Feet? That starts at Curve in couple of months. |

I suspect Curve will be busy on other things for a big announcement tomorrow...
Given WoS and their ability to exaggerate, it is more likely to be a press release about an increase in programme prices at a small theatre in Leatherhead than anything of earth-shattering significance..

It'd need a smart venue and a smaller production for sure. Musically, it's genius. Dave Malloy has done something spectacular with all his works, Great Comet especially. It's unusual and abstract, so I understand why you don't "get it". But, I have to say, I'm in the fan club wanting it to come over desperately  |
