I don’t know anything about the story (never seen the film) but found the OBC a next level snooze fest. Very uninspiring music IMHO.
Demand dropped off very quickly on Broadway…..

I saw Rachel Tucker last night in Newbury and she sang a song from this.

The soundtrack is very pretty (if a little old fashioned), I wonder if its the next Time Traveller's Wife?

Would it necessarily clog up a desired theatre though? Could it slot into @soho or the Other Palace or the Menier? |

I saw Rachel Tucker last night in Newbury and she sang a song from this. Saw her tonight and she sang My Days (which if I never hear that song again it'll be too soon) It does sound like this is a pretty floored adaptation of a gorgeous movie. Not sure we need this when there's so many other shows trying to get mid-scale theatres and there's such a backlog |

Fully expect this to not actually happen. It’s hardly been a success in NYC.

This was absolutely wonderful on Broadway, was the highlight of my March trip and was my favourite score of last season.
Love to see this grace the West-End!

Like the Bat Out of Hell pond?!

I would take this show with a original score, over any jukebox show.

Surely after the disaster that was Time Traveller's Wife this is a BAD call for the West End. It's got 2 lovely songs but apart from that it's quite meh. I saw it on Broadway and it was fine - but if I hadn't paid more than rush i would have been annoyed. It's a shame that a huge crowd pleasing show like Some Like it Hot (which has the most wonderful trans storyline I've seen on stage played out) has died yet some people think that this dull melodrama - which isn't even as good as Bridges of Madison Country - is good enough to fill a west end theatre 8 shows a week will work, I worry about the producers with the means to work in the West End at the moment....
