Oh that's easy.......TheatreBoard - The Musical. To be honest you could probably make the Wicked thread on this board into a musical in its own right. There's more than enough drama to last 2 and a half hours in there It certainly wouldn't take long to write. Beginning and ending with the same scene: Five minutes of dialogue/song repeated thirty-odd times, just expressed slightly differently each time; sometimes with jazz-hands, sometimes without. |

I mean I say 'dot dot dot,' but I imagine the moderator music to be reminiscent of the approaching shark in Jaws, when it comes to Wicked; comical and repetitive.

Just saw an interview with Tim Minchin. He says Groundhog Day WILL be back in London- but in the end of 2018.

Brilliant, so a year and a half of fillers and cheap tours in some of the west ends main theatres.

Still hoping that a couple of ex-Chichester plays will make it into one of the them : Pressure and An Enemy of the People, I fear though I may be disappointed....

Still hoping that a couple of ex-Chichester plays will make it into one of the them : Pressure and An Enemy of the People, I fear though I may be disappointed.... I think there's more chance of more recent fare from Chichester and Bath making it in to town, such as Caroline, or Change or Sweet Bird of Youth. Wouldn't be surprised if Racing Demon from Bath with David Haig transferred. Bath seems to be transferring a fair bit recently and they might be keen to have a transfer from Jonathan Church's summer season. Not sure if the reviews for Lettice & Lovage will be good enough to warrant the risk of a transfer. Until those came out, I thought it would have been a dead cert for a transfer. They may still go for it anyway with the Menier brand and the cast and creatives they have. |

Despite my apathy for Lettice and Lovage with Kendal, Lipman and Trevor Nunn directing I always thought that this was destined to transfer. The reviews were (surprisingly) not that bad.

Could Fiddler transfer from Chichester? Well, lots of musicals from Chichester do transfer into the West End. It seems to be the....TRADITIOOOOOOON!!! |

Didn't we have a 'Sweet Bird of Youth' at the Old Vic not so long ago? With the lovely Seth Numrich and Kim Cattrall wearing Flick Kendal's 'Lettice & Lovage' wig. |

Old Vic Sweet Bird was 2013. Four years doesn't seem that long, but I wouldn't say not to a transfer of the Chichester production anyway. I suspect it might not be convenient though, Marcia Gay Harden does sound like she has a very busy schedule.

I have a feeling (and don't judge me people, its just a feeling!), one of the two theatres will have something we have had a very recently in London, or has recently been seen somewhere in the UK.
