It was mentioned briefly in some announcements a while back, along with the Pride musical i think? Nothing very specific, but indicating Warchus' long term plans when he first took over. Would love to know more if anyone else has anymore details...

(a quick google shows that this isnt the first Dennis The Menace Musical to be produced.... lets hope this one fares better )

Sorry - i appear to have gotten stuck in a google wormhole and am not just replying to my own posts in stead of writing one long post. I guess the Old Vic production will be an expansion/version of The Trial of Dennis The Menace which was at Southbank Centre a few years ago when they had theyre big Beano festival on. A review by Lyn Gardner suggests that it was a good premise, but needed some work www.theguardian.com/stage/2012/feb/20/trial-dennis-the-menace-review |
