I'm interested to see how this goes down here, i saw it in New York and enjoyed the show... but its much more Young Vic/Contemporary Theatre than commercial West End?
Would love it if we got Michael C Hall to reprise his role tho!

Oh MY!!!!!!
Where do we think it will/could go?
I hope they keep it somewhere small as I think it is on the Broadmorreway
London needs a bit more bat sh*t mental productions!
Barbican Pit?

If they don't bring Michael C Hall over with the show, they're going to have their work cut out casting the lead. Difficult to imagine any of the usual suspects like Killian Donnelly. Michael Xavier or Richard Fleeshman in something like this. They need to cast someone really edgy - Paul Kaye perhaps or Matt Smith (following some intense vocal tuition).

I'm not familiar with the Royal Court, but could it be a possible venue? Since the teaser came before the live stream of one of their productions?

It's a very flexible space, suited to all kinds of productions (they've historically done very few musicals, FWIW). Rocky Horror played at the Royal Court IIRC. Considering The Almeida, the Dorfman and Hampstead have all successfully had musicals in the last few years and all three have similar capacity to the Downstairs theatre, I think it would be a good theatre for Larazus. |

I doubt very much that this will be at the royal court, they're a new writing venue and premier all their works in house. Lazarus has had a very public premier else where?

Considering Lazarus has its own website, that suggests to me it's going straight to the West End (Arts at the smallest). Places like the Royal Court, Almeida, National, Hampstead, etc have their own very comprehensive websites so it would be very unusual to start with an external website if it were going to such a venue. (And considering how the women were written in Lazarus, I somehow can't see someone like Vicky Featherstone welcoming it with open arms...)

Reckon this could be Phoenix bound after Guys & Dolls. Small enough theatre to sustain demand for a while and maintain the intimatcy of the piece.
If we get Michael C Hall over for this, could he just stay for an extra 3mths and launch Hedwig?

So....if Lazarus is opening soon it will need to be open ended run here.That rules out most houses that seem suitable especially Dorfman,Young Vic etc.
Maybe a conversion space or structure will be the answer.

Heard a (very) unofficial report from a friend that auditioned for the show that this will follow In The Heights into the King's Cross Theatre. Forgot to ask whether that means it'll be in rep with The Railway Children and obviously may turn out to be untrue, but that was the info they were given at least.

Well that would mean a first visit to that theatre for me if it proves to be true. |

It would be a real shame if Lazarus went to King's Cross Theatre. The show really deserves to be in a proper theatre. I'm just hoping Cristin Milioti transfers with it. I thought was absolutely stunning in the show, but that may be because I am such a big How I Met Your Mother geek! Sophia Ann Caruso told me via Twitter that the show's album would be released September. A lot of people are saying Michael C. Hall is confirmed to transfer, where's the evidence for this?

So Lazarus, In the Heights and the Raliway children will all be playing? That reads like they're extending the theatre to me.

It's amazing how they've transformed the area behind King's Cross into a real destination. Could do with a few more bars, but it really is incredible, apart from Dishoom not taking reservations. |

According to the Bizarre column in the sun, Lazarus will open in November at a new theatre at Kings Cross with tickets going on sale next week.
