I asked this question before Christmas, when Bat out of Hell was closing and nothing else was on the horizon, since then Hello Dolly was strongly rumoured, but that seems to have disappeared into the ether now.
However I notice at the end of April the US tour of Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella wraps up, if the tour is anything like the version that played the Broadway Theatre, New York it was quite stunning and enjoyable, so don't know why the Nederalnders do not bring this one over.
Nothing is worse than an empty theatre.

Well Back to the Future is happening again- opening Manchester Jan 2020 so maybe that will go there and a filler show(s) in between.
No producer would ever buy R&H Cinderella in that huge theatre. Unless Lady Gaga or Taylor Swift were in the lead role.
The problem is no producer wants it.. it’s a barn of a theatre without the intimacy (or beauty) of Drury Lane or the Palladium.

The current Cinderella tour is the non-equity one, mostly one or two nights in small venues and downscaled. I wouldn't surprise if it starts back up again as it's been successful. I would like to see Cinderella here on a scale similar to the original Broadway revival. But chances are, we're more likely to see it premiere at one of the fringe venues. It's not the right show for the Dominion. It would suit somewhere smaller. |

They should just bring back We will rock you and hope it sells on the back of Bohemian Rhapsody’s success.

I have it on very good authority that the dominion is Out Of Action for the next 7-9 months for restoration work, so whatever is happening won't be happening soon....

I've posted this somewhere already, in the Predictions thread I think; the Dominion is being stripped of asbestos.
