According to all the releases and production notes, Never Forget is still (unfortunately) heading for a West End run opening before Christmas, however anyone know where?! As far as I can work out, the producers are now restricted to either the Comedy, Trafalgar Studio 1, Vaudeville or Wyndham's, with no other musical houses available, and none of these looking like potential candidates, bar maybe the Vaudeville.

With Footloose now having grabbed the Playhouse, History Boys seeking the Wyndham's once again there's not much choice, or am I missing something?!

30th is the cut off date for the cast's contracts for the London option. It could still go to the West End if it's confirmed after then but it wouldn't necessarily be with the same cast.

whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should

It's a god-awful dog of a show that'll probably do no more than 6months in town...as why see this when a Take That gig is a million times more interesting/professional.

It's not going to the Vaudeville, at least not before Xmas. Swimming with Sharks starring Cristian Slater is opening there for 15 weeks in October.

To be followed by Bath Theatre Royal's production of The Importance of Being Earnest from January to April next year...
