Renee will win for Hamilton...Danielle will be nominated but won't win I really wouldn't be too sure of that. She won the Drama Desk for the role last year but she wasn't nominated at both the Outer Critics' or the Drama League so I would say whilst she is guaranteed a nomination, I am not expecting a win on her part. It could happen, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Danielle win.

Impossible confirmed to replace Mrs H at the Noel Coward for the the summer, probably quick replacement idea

Think it's only for a month or so, probably a last minute replacement for Mrs Henderson. Then a play will probably go in there

We now know what will be going into the Noel Coward after Henderson... Impossible will return from July 8, 2016 through August 27, 2016... which I am quite glad about as I missed it first time around!

Only a month and a half run for Impossible so I'm guessing there's something going into the Noel Coward in the Autumn

Only a month and a half run for Impossible so I'm guessing there's something going into the Noel Coward in the Autumn I'm assuming so, seems a short run so it is likely just being thrown in as a filler so the theatre isn't empty!

Probably a regional/UK tour play will go into the Noel Coward but Impossible is a nice idea for the summer season for families, tourists etc. It was probably an easy and quick replacement idea

Do we know what's going on with the transfer of The King & I? Doesn't mean much, but they setup a website saying 'coming soon' and setup various social media accounts for the UK transfer… March next year.

Wonder what theatre it will go into though, not going to be much availability next year judging by the rumoured transfers already!

Surely it needs one of the bigger theatres, if only for a stage large enough for the dresses!? Very exciting about all these transfers - I love thinking of potential theatres they could go to! Yes it does needs a huge set apparently! I would've said the palladium if SoR hadn't said it was going there. I dont know about Drury Lane, I'm still hoping the rumours of Mary Poppins gojng there are true! I think Phoenix will be The Girls. What do you think?

The king and I needs a big theatre for this production but I can't see it selling a big west end venue...Unless it does the same as South Pacific

Don't forget the fringe stuff. Bar Mitzvah Boy announced one that didn't happen for whatever reason,and Grey Gardens was looking as well. Can anyone think of anymore?

Well it managed almost 2 years at the Palladium last time it was in town. I don't see why it couldn't manage it a second time. Don't get me wrong, I love the show but it's a very different climate than the 90s. Sound of music (the biggest r&h show) struggled once it's reality cast star left, carousel struggled in its last revival. And I seem to remember the Albert Hall production having offers for its limited run If kelli comes with it no one outside of hardcore theatre fans will know who she is. Personally I'd cast michelle dockery who, while maybe a little young, would be more of a draw and I also think quite well suited to the role

It's better on a tour life. I think some of the plays you mentioned (Long days or The Mother) could possibly go to the Noel Coward after Impossible. Don't forget The Girls, that is defiantly transferring and Hairspray isn't transferring as much as i loved the show! I know that plus the fact it is touring again in 2 years.

Just had a thought and realised, there's so many rumoured transfers but limited theatres!! Where is everything going to go at the beginning of next year?! Any guess??

New London & Drury lane will definitely be free Phoenix is very likely to be free (Guys and Dolls as good as it is, isn't selling) Noel coward has yet to announce a new tenant so could very well house a musical in the new year. Gielgud (how's curious incident doing?)
Aldwych/Novello/Piccadilly depending on how Beautiful, Jersey Boys and Mamma Mia are doing

School of Rock brought forward. Expect it this year!

Gielgud (how's curious incident doing?) Aldwych/Novello/Piccadilly depending on how Beautiful, Jersey Boys and Mamma Mia are doing Yes all those theatres will be free. Don't think G&D will extend again, it's only supposed to be limited and by October it'll have done 10 months. I've got a strong feeling The Girls might go there but that could go somewhere smaller. Noel Coward - think a regional play will go here like long day's journey? Drury Lane - would LOVE Mary Poppins to come here! Can see it doing a nice limited season. Would be lovely to have it back in London again. I don't think Finding Neverland would do very well here. New London - Finding Neverland maybe? In regards to Gieguld, Novello, Aldwych and Picadilly. Think all the shows are doing okay there. Would defiantly not surprise me if Beautiful closes next year, think it could. Maybe FN could go there? Or another musical (Color Purple?!). I think that ATG could love Jersey Boys from the Picadilly to another smaller theatre like the Playhouse (the set isn't that big!) to get a new musical in there? Mamma Mia is doing fine as per usual and not sure about Curious.

The Playhouse would not be suitable for JB at all. I think it would be more likely to move to the Phoenix or close altogether. School of Rock brought forward. Expect it this year! Wonder if this might go to the New London?

Wonder if this might go to the New London? Unless I'm mistaken, School of Rock is going to the palladium? The palladium hasn't had a long running musical for agesss now!

School of Rock brought forward. Expect it this year! It surely must've found a new home then, with Cinderella confirmed for the Palladium over Christmas, I can't see it being a limited run.

It was said a while ago that it was no longer looking at the palladium. They maybe making the rather wise decision to not go somewhere so large.
Adelphi wouldn't be a surprise. New London maybe too small, not sure

School of Rock brought forward. Expect it this year! Where did you hear that? I really can't imagine it opening this year, especially as the auditions website says rehearsals start March 2017. If it doesn't go to the Palladium (which I guess is more likely as of course it is HUGE to fill) then I have no idea what else could go there, unless it carries on with TV, concerts, variety and panto for the foreseeable future.
