They're contacting the wrong person, then.
I just checked at Tams-Witmark who hold the rights. They're available.
Move along, now..

It is NEVER going to happen people. STOP. Bette is on 150,000k a week and also on ten percent.
The maths for ticket prices in the West End unless they charge 300 pounds a ticket do not work out. Plus she’s been in it in broadway for a long time. Gig is done.
She can do concerts and get a months pay in one night.
NEVER HAPPENING.

Well this is all very friendly... I know! I'm glad I didn't bring it up at the Xmas social, I'd have been glassed in the face with a broken bottle of Port! |

Is that a thing? Eating hats? Passed me by... however Bette has told me that she fancies a fortnight bobbing around Argyll Street, mostly because she's a fan of Steak Houses.

Plus she’s been in it in broadway for a long time. Gig is done. She can do concerts and get a months pay in one night. NEVER HAPPENING. Exactly. There's that, and the stink in this rumor (I honestly don't think it's a rumor as much as someone just pulling this out of their ass) is that you'd need to seriously scale up the production if this were to happen at the Palladium. The Shubert is a much smaller stage and theatre than the huge Palladium. With just over 1400 seats, they'd have to worry about selling additional 800 seats at the Palladium and scale up the sets, re-stage and re-choreography. And while Londoners would like Midler, these star vehicles don't work as much in London as they do in New York (sans shows with Sheridan Smith, go figure). |

First, please let this be so. Second, the eating of hats is done in a way where someone says if so and so happens they'll 'eat my hat'. So a poster on here could say if Bette comes to London and does this I'll eat my hat. |

I'd just like to personally make a point that I definitely did not "pull this out of my ass", I heard from it somebody in the biz. Now whether they, or the person that they got it from did, I cannot possibly say. What I can say is that the tone of this chat needs to come down a couple of notches & people need to stop being so bloody outraged that it was even suggested for a second that the hottest ticket on Broadway might find its way to the West End. It's not the strangest suggestion that we've ever mulled over. Now, let's chill & dream of Bette. |

She can't possibly do Dolly if she's already booked for Dear Evan Hansen, Anastasia and Florence in Chess! Get real people!
