They could bring in a Disney that we haven't had- I'm thinking The Little Mermaid or Tarzan. Or something completely left field like Muriel's Wedding #youreterriblemuriel

A transfer of Heathers from The Other Palace as it seems to be selling well?

There will probably need to be a filler show in here for the time being. A big new show will take 9-12 months to prepare

A big new show will take 9-12 months to prepare I know it's not really a playhouse but I wonder if it might see a play transfer or debut there? Animal Farm was previously mentioned but perhaps something from the National like The Corn is Green for example? The stage version of Spitting Image which was announced a while ago still doesn't have a theatre so maybe that could be a possibility. |

I’d imagine we would be more likely to get something like Murder on the Orient Express.. or as you say Animal Farm. Something that is more likely to sell well for a limited season. Wasn’t that Tom Jones musical supposed to be rather good also? |

I forgot about Murder on the Orient Express, that'd be a solid option especially since the only place it's going to after Chichester is Bath which makes me wonder if they're eyeing a London run. |

It sure was what’s new pussycat… the story of Tom jones the novel … with the music of Tom jibes the singer set in the swinging 60 s quality production in every way set slighting live band costumes choreography a real feel good.

The time must be right for Cats to return! It was rusty on it's last heave around the UK and attendance wasn't great from what I remember. Not sure the films will do ticket sales any favours in the immediate future. |

I assumed that the reason for announcing Cinderella’s closure on Bank Holiday Sunday was because they wanted to put tickets on sale for a big summer show this week. Looks like I was wrong and there was no reason that they couldn’t have waited.

They could really rub salt in the wound and put on Soho Cinders 😆

Open air Evita? Pussycat, Orient Express or Animal Farm (the schools!) all very good calls.

The open air Evita would be nice seeing as it was planned for the Barbican summer 2020 and never rescheduled.

Beetlejuice or Groundhog Day could be fun there. I think Beetlejuice would sell better though.

He has no gaps until November but perhaps Derren Brown could bring his new show into town. He's always sold well whenever he has come to London.

Can't we have Hadestown back? Given that it's staged in the round, it could be a great fit...
