Oh interesting - sadly Legrand died just the other week. Umbrellas is mu favourite film so will definitely give this a try.

Am I right in saying this only ran on Broadway for a little over a month?

Well this sounds rather magical! Having never visited the Charing Cross, this might finally be the show that entices me there!

It's a lovely show. Very quirky with some beautiful music.
Saw it twice when the Royal Academy students performed it about three years ago.
Brilliant news!

Oh! I didn't know about this as a musical, but I've seen a film based on the same story which I absolutely loved (but had completely forgotten until I just Googled the show!)
This sounds really good!

I note from the seating plan that there are two front rows for this show, A and K. Can anybody advise if there is any viewing advantage of one over the other ?

In theory they should be the same if it's staged well in traverse.
Row K (if I've got this right) is the "normal" stalls side, and row A is the bank of seats where the stage used to be. To get to Row A you have to walk over the stage so Row K has an advantage in that you'll get to the bar/ toilets more quickly!

I'm suddenly interested, with Anna O'Byrne being in it. Booked for the 2nd preview, as £26 seems more reasonable to me than £36 at a fringe venue.

I've seen her in 4 other shows since, including WiW, & she's been excellent in all of them. |

Love this score! Have always wanted to see the show. And the cast that has just been announced is pretty stunning. I have booked to see it twice!

I saw this in New York and it's very ...twee. Its intentions are honorable but it was far too gentle a piece to make it on Bway. Maybe this more intimate setting will be better. And that Gary Turshaw certainly helps - he adds value to anything in which he appears.

Amazing, this is actually one of my favourite musicals - always thought it was a shame that it never succeeded in Broadway. Brilliant to see it in London - sure it'll be a great show

Has anyone seen any deals advertised? Wanting to book for next week, but might be worth holding off if there are deals on later dates.

Tonight appears to be going ahead (though I've wimped out of going for various reasons including that I doubt whoever was too ill yesterday to perform will have recovered quickly enough to give an ideal performance 24 hours later).
