Have there any mumblings of what the Menier Chocolate Factory is doing for their Christmas musical? I would think it should be going on sale soon...

They will go on sale once Bridges is finished up - would love to see a Revival Of Hedwig and the Angry inch or Ragtime though
(That’s without any info just wishes!)

I'd say the Menier Autumn production will announce first before the Christmas musical.

Rumour is War and Peace the musical. Directed again by Trevor Nunn. It's a 2 day show and you bring your own sleeping bag.

Wouldn’t Christmas be perfect for A Little Night Music? I can imagine snow machines and fur coats

I’d love another Jason Robert Brown - maybe HONEYMOON IN VEGAS?

A Little Night Music is based on Smiles of a Summer Night, isn't it? I'm sure the text references the lightness of the season eg "the sun sinks low.."

They’ve already confirmed a stripped back Gigi with Kate Garraway for 2020 and it’s dark for 2021 because they want to change the toilet roll holders & do the skirtings. |

danb are we really getting Gigi? Hope so as it's a beautiful score despite one dodgy sounding song!

I'm sure I read that they make a loss on the musicals and rely on them transferring to recoup their costs.
Since I doubt Bridges will transfer (for many reasons), they'll have to go for something mainstream and popular for the Christmas musical.
