Opening at the end of 2022 in the West End at one of the prime musical houses, running for a year before another Broadway transfer arrives.

Was great in New York, and can see it doing very well here.
That does mean we will be getting another closing announcement before long then.

I saw this on Broadway and enjoyed it, it's very similar to Jersey Boys in terms of how it's presented but I think it will find an audience in London.

Ain’t Too Proud is far superior to Drifter’s Girl.

Personally, I would be sad to see a prime West End theatre saddled with this schlock. I saw it on Broadway and found it embarrassingly formuliac and not many notches above a standard theme-park revue.
They should throw it into the Eventim in Hammersmith for a limited run and tour it rather than waste decent West End real estate.
But I'm sure the hen party crowds will eat it up and whatever theatre they land in will make a killing in bar receipts.

Is Oliver off then or elsewhere?! |

Performances starting 31 March 2023.
With Mary Poppins closing in early January, could there be a limited run of something else in between or will the Prince Edward Theatre just be dark for 11 and a half weeks?

Horah! Another juke box musical.
But I'm sure it will appeal to the non MT audience, groups and hen parties. They will probably make more money from alcohol sales than ticket sales.

It's not in open-ended to my knowledge. I'd heard 6 months then touring, with something else going into the Prince Edward end of 2023

Previews starting from 27th Feb, with opening at end of March.
Will initially be booking until 1st October, with group bookings to 7th January (I'd guess if it is a limited run, that would be a likely closing date).
