May - September is the rumour!

A limited run makes sense, wonder when they'll announce it?

[mjr]

Very soon!

[Showstopper]

This week I think

[FireFingers]

Yeah, it is being announced this week. (Or that is the plan anyway)

[MrBarnaby]

I really hope it does transfer ...

[mjr]

Transfer Confirmed!

[showtoones]

Do we have dates and a theater for this?

This is wonderful news....

And will it be limited or is there a chance of extension?

[Parsley]

I think it is unsuited to the WE and will be another case of heavily discounted ticket offers....I am all for a wider audience seeing it of course...but the TKTS deals and other such promotions are already calling in the distance....It is just the way of the WE now and I think it is shame in some respects...

Moreover, I suspect they will want it to be eligible for awards nominations..as far as I know the Menier is not eligible for the main awards as a venue itself...I may be wrong on this though...?

[Pharaoh's number 2]

No, the Menier is not eligible for Oliviers, whereas the West End is. However I fear this'll go down the same road as A Little Night Music; a great hit at the Menier, heavily discounted and closing early across the river.

Agreed and it even isn't as well known show as Night Music, and a lesser known cast.  Good luck to it but think its got a struggle on its hands.  Wont it miss out on all award noms this year by the time it transfers?
