Ah, I didn't realise this. I would imagine, in that case, it will do a run somewhere like the Playhouse Theatre, or Piccadilly. The Playhouse would be more likely I imagine, as they will want to get another long-runner into the Piccadilly asap, with a short filler between, so August is a bit long to wait for it. The Playhouse is terrible for musicals, I doubt YF would go there unless there were completely desperate.

I don't really know where it could go that it would run successfully, unless a filler show or limited run as I can't see it being a long-runner. Unless it already has a theatre booked, its gonna be tough to get a show into London with all the rumoured transfers and shows already booked to be dropping by London.

I understand a certain trip down memory lane (or should that be Street) is selling so poorly that a monster of a show has found its West End home.

I'll say 42nd Street to be replaced by Young Frankenstein!

Place your bets on 42nd Street out, Mary Poppins in ladies and gents. 😂😂 In all seriousness though, I don't wish it to fail at all, I always want to see a successful run, especially in such a beautiful theatre.

I would like to throw a spanner in the works and say my fair lady will replace it as it has its 60th anniversary and there was a production recently in Sydney opera housecdirected by Julie Andrews and is a good show that will sell and one I really want to see.

I wouldn't be surprised if Cameron Mackintosh revives the 2001 production of My Fair Lady for Drury Lane in 2018
