Anything Goes Follows Fair Lady at Drury Lane???

The announced closure of My Fair Lady has prompted all sorts of reshuffle speculation. Most immediately, it looks likely that one Olivier Award-winning Trevor Nunn musical will follow another into the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. A spokeswoman for the National told Whatsonstage.com that negotiations were nearly complete to bring this year's smash Anything Goes, Nunn's swansong NT musical, to the theatre in late September for a limited run. That'll be welcome news for all who couldn't get tickets to the Cole Porter revival's sell-out season on the South Bank. The production - which stars Sally Ann Triplett and John Barrowman - was mooted for a transfer ever since receiving ecstatic reviews back in December, but plans looked dashed when no suitably large venue was available and Nunn refused to allow anyone to "shrink" the size of the production (See The Goss, 23 Mar 2003). Problem solved then. Watch out in the News section where we'll report the transfer officially as soon as dates are confirmed.
