Any idea if the principals are still attached to this?

Or maybe Shaftesbury before Doubtfire?

I'm thinking it might be the Shaftesbury or heaven forbid, the Dominion!

Haymarket also possible? Maybe the Gilly Lynne after Lehman if Totoro isn’t going there. That would be a great venue for it.

The Gillian lynne after Lehman makes the most sense for sure

None of them have been ‘big’ musicals. They’ve been small scale musicals with small bands. I didn’t see it in Chichester but I’m assuming it had a decent sized orchestra? Also the ‘balcony’ in the Haymarket is awful in terms of both comfort and sightline.

Fair play, forget how big the band is. I wonder if they’d use the thrust stage setup if it went to the Gilly as they did for Show Boat.

I guess, OFAH is quite contained.

Would it be exactly like at Chichester though? I don’t know what South Pacific was like at Sadler’s Wells but it looked a lot smaller in Birmingham than it did in Chichester. Was quite cramped when they were all on stage together, and they didn’t go out into the auditorium at all either.

Touring shows cannot easily go further into the house, think of the logistics of that for every date on tour when each venue is very different.

Sounds like Mrs Doubtfire is about to announce very soon so it probably won't be the Shaftesbury. Gillian Lynne not free until June so a bit of a wait if it's there.

Stemp definitely is, not sure about the rest. Great to hear! Enjoyed Tom Edden's performance too, hope he transfers with it I agree. Stemp's infectious charm and energy, coupled with Edden's zaniness, just made them the most marvellous double act when they shared the stage.

Its almost a character or set piece in itself.

If it really isn't the Savoy anymore ( shame as would be great fit) I guess that leaves Gillian Lynne, maybe Gielgud if it could fit or old vic if groundhog day isnt next year (ive heard conflicting on GD and they took in kiss me Kate from Chichester before)
Or something is about to announce closure
