They have done that before, they don't tend to repeat musicals. |

Yet another one that will appear daily on cheap ticket sites?
I find it hard to get excited about this place more recently.

Last I heard it was something more... regal perhaps? And less moist than a pot of Mushnik's soil... |

The Producers? I remember those rumours of it returning somewhere in London. Even if the Menier would be quite small for it.

Promises, Promises is an older title but based on a film The Apartment. Nine is another one which hasn't been done for a long time in London.

Mr Barnaby posted a lyric from Jersey Boys in the Hercules thread where this is spoken about.

It has to be either Just For One Day or Martin Guerre.  |

The Menier will never open itself for the type of audience that Jersey Boys attracts lol.
They could barely contain the front row from climbing the stage at the Trafalgar nevermind the easy access they’d have at the Menier.

I saw JB from the front row at the Trafalgar many times and never witnessed that behaviour. It wouldn’t be right for the Menier though, and I suspect another tour will be out before too long. I don’t see the Menier scaling down King Kong, so perhaps Doctor Zhivago? |

I’d love for it to be Grand Hotel (it won’t be).

It’s not Jersey Boys
It’s not Promises Promises
It’s based on a comedy film…
