I'm kinda predicting either Chitty or Mary Poppins will slowly edge its way back into the West End following their tours...

Maybe not Chitty as its doing lots of venues around the uk but Mary Poppins I think will go back to London as its very popular. I thought the Victoria Palace but Hamilton will go there, maybe Drury Lane?? |

I can't imagine Chitty going in, even though I haven't seen this new tour, from what I've seen and heard it really doesn't look or sound like West End quality. As for Mary Poppins however, Drury Lane may not be a bad idea (if it was a limited run perhaps). I remember reading something saying that Drury Lane was considered for the original production, but that could've been because they used the My Fair Lady cast to workshop it with at the time. |

I really hope the rumoured transfer of Something Rotten ends up happening. Such a fun show!
Must say that from the current Broadway season there is very little I can see transfering other than Hamilton and School of Rock.

Yeah I agree that Chitty won't be west end bound too. However, I think Mary Poppins might edge it's way back to London. I think it would be a really good limited run at the Drury Lane whilst they find a new long time inning poroeuction. I hope this happens! |

I'd welcome a Mary Poppins return. I have never seen it live before so would love to catch it  I grew up with the film and even though I know there are differences, I love it so bring it on if it proves to be true! |

Maybe American Psycho could get a West End transfer if it gets a good reception on Broadway? Although I can't see it winning a massive amount of Tony's this year if it's eligible this year alongside Hamilton. |

Whatever happened to We Will Rock Two? It was workshopped and rumoured for the Palace but it's all gone quiet. Not that I'd be keen to see it, I'm just intrigued as to how a sequel to a jukebox musical would actually work.

Pretty sure the Palace has a guaranteed show for an eternity now, so if it does happen, it won't be at the Palace. |

Aha! I have got a feeling now that The Girlls could go to the Wynham's theatre after No Mans Land?
I only realise this because of their twitter page, any suggestions?

Mrs Henderson went to the Noel coward which is smaller but I know what you mean. It probably is too small. I think it could go to a Delfont theatre but could be an ATG one. I really ally want a transfer to be confirmed. Baz won't announce it yet and the girls twitter said its not long. |

The Wyndham's is smaller than the Noel Coward capacity wise, not sure about stage wise but The Girls went to the Grand Theatre in Leeds and The Lowry in Salford both which are bigger theatres than the Theatre Royal Bath which is where Mrs Henderson played before it transferred. I think if it did transfer, it'd probably be the Phoenix or possibly the New London. |

If Guys and Dolls doesn't extend again then I think it will go there. any ideas when this news will actually be announced?? |

I imagine David Pugh might want to get the upcoming revival of 'Art' rolling a bit more first.

I wonder where An American in Paris will go? It'll need a big theatre so I'm guessing either Drury Lane or Dominion

It'll need a big theatre so I'm guessing either Drury Lane or Dominion I've got a weird feeling Finding Neverland will go Drury Lane but I'm not sure, I don't think it will do AS well over here in a huge theatre. im hoping The Bodyguard will extend at the Dominion but I'm not sure, if it doesn't it could go there. |

I am expecting An American in Paris to come over for a limited Season at somewhere like maybe the London Coliseum or Sadlers Wells.
