It’s happening. Announcement imminent That sounds like it was all signed, sealed and delivered, not still negotiating contracts. To go from announcement imminet to then realising the show isn't selling well and it's not good enough to bring to London? Weird. Yeah exactly. Big difference between an imminent (as in within days expect press release) announcement, and contracts still being negotiated. |

Let's just put Lord of the Rings, Martin Guerre or Just For One Day into Drury Lane and have done with all this nonsense. Or perhaps put all three in rep with a giant three-way revolve. "In Concert" |

Do you know people who were due to work on it? No. Didn’t think so. |

Big difference between an imminent (as in within days expect press release) announcement, and contracts still being negotiated. i think people don't realise just how brief a window between a contract signing and public announcement can be... especially with a show that already has a lot of visual assets ready. |

You'd think that they might have looked at how well the show was doing, or even if the show was any good before they even considered moving it to London.
Apparently not...

You were incorrect, so I responded to you. Just because you don’t think it was true- doesn’t make you right my dear. |

My reply was more in response to you telling me to 'pipe down' which you have since deleted from your post.

I mean, is there much left to say here? Unless plans suddenly trigger back on I guess this thread will basically be the Disney-bashing thread.

Get David Suchet booked for a couple of nights! Then it would be Hercule at Drury Lane. 🤣

Should we re-title this thread as 'Hercules ISN'T at Drury Lane'?

Yeah, or lock it. I imagine for some people it must be funny to see Hercules at Drury Lane, read the thread and then it's not at Drury Lane
Or retitle it to Hercules from MTI Europe in advance of its inevitable licensing.

It is happening again. It is happening again. It is happening again. I think just one it is happening again is enough, three is too much! |
