I don't think it's a teaser for anything. This will come back at some point but not anytime soon by the sounds of it.

Must say, a Game of Thrones play would hold no appeal for me at all, even if it was directed by Dominic Cooke, but I appreciate I would be very much in the minority!

I think Into the Woods is firmly in the “not coming back” club as all things stand According to Being Alive yesterday, it's booked a theatre for late Spring!

Looking forward to seeing what the play is. Very intriguing!

I've heard it's got another house booked from late Spring Into the Woods or the play that was linked to the Phoenix? Could Into the Woods fit in the Apollo?

Well it’s definitely NOT going to the Phoenix that I know. A huge new play is booked to go in there next year. Is this new play likely to be announced before the end of the year, mrbarnaby? Any further clues you are able to give us at this stage?

People are increasingly saying 'on' but it is wrong. It is 'in the West End'.

Anyone seen/seeing Matthew Modine as Atticus yet? Planning to return for another visit but wondering whether to hold off and see if there’s another extension past April with another actor! Group bookings are being taken until 22nd July so it will be extending until then at least.

Are there any good plays yet to be announced that people can maybe give us a hint about? Trying to make a few plans for next year!

Back to the show and annoyingly there seems to be a big gap of no performances between 10th and 27th June, which is of course when I was looking to book, so that I could nail The Pillowman, Patriots and A Little Life on the same trip. What a pain. Dates are currently only going up as far as 10th June, with more to come. Maybe the June performance 'gap' which appeared online earlier in the week was a glitch. Here's hoping they announce full dates soon because 20th April - 10th June is pretty limited.

Any more word on the rumoured West End transfer to the Ambassadors? Wessex Grove have first option for Donmar transfers and they are on a roll at the minute with a whole raft of shows.

'Luvvies'? I'm always amazed when people who seem to like theatre, and presumably feel a large amount of gratitude for all the pleasure theatre people have given them over the years, reveal their contempt for them - which is what the word 'luvvies' suggests to me. Writers, directors, actors - why the need to mock them? We've just seen a fantasist called Liz Truss destroyed in 44 days as PM. Most of the luvvies would have put a fantasist called Jeremy Corbyn into that job. That's why they get mocked. Because they talk about truth when they have a very tenuous relationship with reality. *What* on earth are you talking about?

Any more word on what the big play opening after Noises Off might be?
[This should probably be in General, sorry!]

Probably depends on the reviews and Mescal's schedule. I *think* Barnaby said a new play based on existing material is going to the Phoenix. If that is the case it couldn't be Streetcar. Yes, he definitely didn't mean Streetcar.

I wonder if it might see a transfer given how well it's sold. There's a gap between Mother Goose closing and The Pillowman opening at the Duke of York's so could fit in there for a short run. The Phoenix is another option. According to mrbarnaby a major play is heading to the Phoenix.

I would be absolutely amazed if they did this without Katie Brayben.
Really hope that whenever a further run happens, it will be in London and that they don't do an American Psycho style move straight to NY.
WE transfers of Almeida musicals just never seem to happen!

A lot of the information here is not quite correct. Of course sometimes unexpected things happen and choices have to be made. But remember things are often planned months or even years ahead of being announced to the public. Best of Enemies booked its West End transfer before the original run was over, but didn’t announce it for six months. Do you know if the West End transfer is still going ahead?

Any word on where this might go? I’ve heard a transfer may not be for a good while, if at all here. Ah you're kidding!? What with this suggestion and the Into the Woods no show, to use the words of Ryan, late of this parish, "I might riot". If this goes straight to Broadway I'll be really p***ed off.

Irish premiere at the Gate Theatre, Dublin, in Summer 2023. Don't tease us like that Rory! Was hoping a WE run might have been announced! I still think about this show and get a bit teary, one of my best ever nights in a theatre. Very pleased that Ireland gets a version even if it wasn't the news I was exactly hoping for. Sorry andrew! I do know that really disappointing feeling of opening a post to find it's not what you were hoping for!

I think we have all expressed the same opinion about the last number/bows. As we are the experts on all things musical theatre can't someone tell Mr Gould or the producers to read our forum so that they can make the necessary changes? We know what we are talking about 😀 The whole industry reads this forum - from producers casting directors to agents. It’s free feedback that would cost thousands normally Do they?
