Disney are workshopping something in the summer in London. I wonder if they intend to replace Frozen with another one of their repertoire. I believe it's The Greatest Showman, with certain people attached. On an unrelated note, auditions may have happened recently for a show/transfer that was previously canned during the pandemic. Please let it be City of Angels 😇 🙏

I like Olly but his song was a real dirge. I knew the minute I heard it that it wouldn't do particularly well, and then his staging was just too overt for a mainstream audience.

I cheered and applauded when Olly Alexander got nil points from the public vote. I’m sure he’ll try to bravado his way out of it but Europe has spoken Olly, nobody likes you. I started this thread with France and think it was the best by far. Proper song, well sung, no gimmicks. That Irish effort.. no words. Harsh.

Graham Norton at People, Places and Things this evening. I thought he'd be in Malmo all this week.

Erm, this has a theatre booked, and is fully financed. So….. It’s called a marketing strategy. Is it really the Park?

I'll be amazed if this is accurate.

The trouble people have had tonight I’m glad I bit the bullet earlier today and bought a DMT+ membership. Booked in about 2 minutes flat while eating my lunch. There’s a couple of other things I’d like to see, so between the booking fees and the programme vouchers probably works out about the same. And your two free glasses of wine!

I'm wondering why the new shows were all announced piecemeal but still relatively close together in time? First Ballet Shoes, then Earnest and then the last three including Coriolanus.

With that cast this'll surely transfer in? One would hope so.

I know this is too late for the person above, but in case anyone else wishes to know, this is running at 2 and a half hours including interval. I can confirm this is correct. Had to run for a train which was luckily ran and thought this was brilliant. Tamsin Greig was astonishing good - you felt her anguish and despair. Nicholas Farrell also delivered a strong performance and Oliver Chris absolutely owned his role too. I thought it was a superbly done production and was worth the journey to see it. There’s no reworking of anything - it plays as you would expect it to and the results are scintillatingly good. Would to see this.

It says on NT at Home that it will be streaming soon. That, and the lack of announcement today, suggests to me there won't be a transfer.
And yet, there are some social media handles in place which point to a further life and it was one of the NT's best reviewed shows in ages, with 2 Olivier nominations including Best Play, so it would be madness not to bring it back when so many still want to see it and others like myself want to go back with friends to see it again.
Fingers crossed we'll hear something soon. It would go down a treat in @sohoplace, so I still have hope for this there post-Heathers!

Had really hoped that a transfer for Till the Stars Come Down would have been announced with the new NT season. I hope it will still do so.

As Michael Harrison is producing, it will surely end up in a decent West End theatre.

Great interview with Sheridan Smith in today's Sunday Times. She speaks candidly about feeling guilty that the show is closing as she "couldn't sell it".

Erm, this has a theatre booked, and is fully financed. So….. It’s called a marketing strategy. Why not just announce the theatre though?

Saw the first preview tonight and loved it just as much as the original. A real casting coup with Sinéad Cusack, she and Gough are perfectly paired. I saw them both together in Conor McPherson's version of The Birds at the Gate Theatre in Dublin years ago. Also saw PP&T at the Wyndham's and it is both exhilarating and heartbreaking with a juggernaut performance from DG. .

There have been some great announcements including transfers for Red Pitch and Boys from the Blackstuff, and returns for For Black Boys... and People, Places & Things, and some nice new musicals, but overall, a bit disappointing. Too many poor fillers.

Some of the recent West End announcements have been really underwhelming. This is definitely not a vintage year for the West End. Very few exciting play announcements.

Mods, this is fully staged so you might want to remove the concert reference in the heading.
