Groundhog Day according to Tim Minchin at the Oliviers on Sunday.
Maybe Baz will announce something tomorrow night on twitter. (That's not me having prior knowledge, just wondering/guessing/hoping he will have something!)

Confirmed:
None (I think - correct me if I'm wrong!)
EDIT - Hamilton (how on earth could I forget this one?!
Strongly rumoured:
Groundhog Day
Finding Neverland
Waitress
Mary Poppins
Softly rumoured/quiet murmurings:
The Band
Dear Evan Hansen
In The Heights
Paradise (I think that's what they called it - Gary Barlow's new musical about a cruise ship)
I'm sure there's more that have been rumoured that I can't think of right now!

I have major doubts that Evan Hansen is strongly rumored. I bet all their efforts are focused on getting it Tony nods and eventual wins. And then I'm sure the domestic US market with a US tour will be their first expansion venture over London.

I'm still waiting on that Gigi transfer. Vanessa Hudgens ain't gettin' any younger.

Has Finding Neverland been blighted by the fact that Gary Barlow has a whole bunch of new musicals in the pipeline? I wonder what the financial structure of that show is (with Harvey Weinstein holding the purse strings) compared to the most recent Barlow efforts? I wouldn't be surprised to find the money thing being a significant barrier to getting the show to the UK. It's touring in the US, so clearly still in production and making some money there.
I'd LOVE for Waitress and Evan Hansen to open in the WE. Not sure of the likelihood of either happening anytime soon though!

Young Frankenstein opens September, doesn't it? So that's another already confirmed one. And I suppose not strictly West End but Pinocchio at the NT opens December.

If they revive Groundhog Day I'll be the happiest man on Earth.

Wasn't there a rumour of Strictly Ballroom opening? Really enjoyed it in Leeds.

Between Waitress and Dear Evan Hansen, I would've thought the latter is easier to transfer to a European audience. The fan base is highly devoted, and the story of acceptance/being a square peg in a round hole is a universal one.
Saying that, it is still early in its run to consider it coming over yet, but don't forget that Cameron saw it last year, and loved it.

I always assumed a tour of ITH would happen rather than another London run.

Didn't Frank Wildhorn say that Jekyll & Hyde was opening late this year? And Bonnie & Clyde early next? For the latter we know there is a workshop happening at The Other Palace in the summer.

If Five Guys Named Moe does well in it's Marble Arch tent then maybe that could come in as well?
Also I'm interested in what will be going into the Palladium after panto has finished. Maybe finally a limited run of BIG: The Musical perhaps?

I wouldn't be surprised if In The Heights resurfaces following the opening of Hamilton in an attempt to get sales based on the hype. "From the creators of Hamilton..."etc.

Given the sell out status of Caroline or Change at Chichester I'd anticipate a London run a year later. Maybe Old Vic?

I've heard rumours of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang making a return off the back of its tour.

I'd be very surprised if Big doesm't go into the Palladium following Dick Whittington or somewhere else in London, maybe Piccadilly. They put alot of money into that show, it would be surprising if it was only for touring with a set like that.

No one makes that much merchandise for just a Christmas season do they? They even made a new cast recording! How were the reviews in Plymouth and Dublin though? It must have been risky in the first place seeing as it wasn't too successful on Broadway. |
