As an aside and a long time devotee of Excel and Microsoft VBA, the integration of those AI chatboxes with Excel is staggering.

With Aspects closing early, that leaves a 9-10 week gap at the Lyric. Frank and Percy with McKellen and Allam could be an option or possibly School Girls: The African Mean Girls Play.

Would Dear England fit in the Lyric?

Would Dear England fit in the Lyric? Not unless they redesign the set and likely not enough time to recoup. |

So Luke Evans is doing a play later this year in the West End, the only theatres that would be available are Theatre Royal Haymarket, the Duke of York's and the Ambassadors.

Rather than jumping into the Jersey Boys thread.. The following have been mentioned in various press articles as coming/transferring to the West End or from suggestions/hints from posters here in the know (though of course I have no idea if they actually are in the know!)
The Lightening Thief
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Frank and Percy
The Cher Show
Fishermans Friends
Shucked
Hello Dolly
Oliver!
The Devil Wears Prada
Tammy Faye: A New Musical
Groundhog Day
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Trainspotting The Musical
Starry (Van Gogh)
Assassins
Titanique
*If* Frozen and/or Jersey Boys are closing early next year, does anything here then line up? Have I missed anything, is anything now totally dead? I am going to keep a source list going forward....

Don't hold your breath for Tammy Faye. (And sometimes posters aren't wrong, but rather things and situations change due to unforeseen events)

Another possibility for the Lyric is a limited season of the Dublin Gate's Fun Home with Killian Donnelly, directed by Róisín McBrinn. It opened last week to a rapturous critical reception. It's a proscenium production so could be easy to move. It closes on August 26th, one week after Aspects of Love.

I seriously considered going to Dublin for it but couldn't justify the expense of a hotel or face going there and back in a day. I still so regret only seeing the YV production once. |

David Furnish, the producer of TAMMY FAYE, confirmed in a very recent Sky News interview (aired a couple of weeks ago) that TAMMY FAYE would be moving to a bigger theatre 'in 2024' and that 'DEVIL WEARS PRADA' is also on the cards for a London production. And for what its worth, Elton will be recording a new album in October. I doubt he would have offered that info if it wasn't true. Mention of TAMMY and PRADA are near the 28:00 mark: news.sky.com/video/beth-rigby-interviews-david-furnish-12907891 |

I suspect the chances of Fun Home transferring are zilch if the Young Vic which was similarly acclaimed didn't transfer. Not to mention they are unlikely to have West End rights to be able to transfer in the first place. |

Hopefully this might be a bit more exciting than the Havers & Hodge announcement.

It’s The Enfield Hauntings with Catherine Tate going into the Ambassadors from November until the beginning of March.

That is Prince Edward now free after 17 September until MJ opens 06 March. Maybe The Sound Of Music from Chichester? I'm struggling to think of something that would be ready to move in for a relatively short run, and still be enough of a crowd pleaser to fill the Prince Edward. |

I've said this before but Dear England could be an option. It only needs to run 12 weeks since the PE will likely need to be closed for a period before MJ arrives for refurbishment.
