Can't say if they're good since they haven't opened yet, but I'm interested in Kiss Me Kate (Stephanie J. Block) at the Barbican, Bluets at the Royal Court (Ben Whishaw/Emma D'Arcy), the Ashton Triple Bill at the Royal Opera House, A View From the Bridge at the Haymarket (Dominic West), Hello Dolly! at the Palladium. And if the reviews/word of mouth are good, and returns are available, there's always the Romeo & Juliet with Tom Holland.

People here tend to forget Sunset got mostly 3 or 4 star reviews, positive but hardly raves. The New York Times liked it better than any critic in London 

I'm feeling somewhat vindicated because I felt this way after seeing one of the first previews. But I also felt vindicated by the mixed critical reception in NY of The Inheritance after having seen it at the Young Vic, and then it did great at the Tonys. 

Cameron was interviewed on the radio this morning and said that several members of the London cast are moving to Broadway

The Royal Shakespeare Company is returning to Chicago in October for the first time in 30 years with Tamara Harvey's production of Pericles with Alfred Enoch (Harry Potter, How to Get Away with Murder). More news here.

 

Can't believe she signed that idiotic letter against Jonathan Glazer

It was eligible, it just wasn't very good 
 

It was okay if a bit overstuffed and with at least one subplot de trop. But there's some good material for a fine cast of actresses 

Critics have been very indulgent with this production and even praised Groban for his bland performance. I doubt they'll be more stern with Tveit

She was excellent as LuPone's understudy in Gypsy, what a talent.

The play was originally conceived for the Bridge

John Lithgow will star as Roald Dahl in a play about the writer's antisemitism.

Giant, written by Mark Rosenblatr and directed by Nicholas Hytner, is set in 1983, shortly before the publication of Dahl’s novel The Witches, as he comes under fire for his antisemitic views expressed in the media. In an interview with the New Statesman that year, Dahl said: “There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity … Even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.” 

Sep. 20 - Nov. 16

For those who are interested, Chapter 4 and 5 of Ryan Donovan's Broadway Bodies (also Oxford University Press) complement this nicely

A new EP with ‘Wilkommen’, ‘Don’t Tell Mamma’, ‘I Don’t Care Much’ and ‘Cabaret’ from the recent BBC Radio 2 session with Self Esteem and Jake Shears is being released 8th March

Sorry for the digression but a couple of the answers here make me worry about people's reading comprehension

Kit Harington wow! Props to him to taking on an unconventional role. I really respect how the guy has fully embraced the stage now that he's done with GoT."


Wow! When Kit Harington was in Henry V in London two years ago, it was sold out.
I can see a good number of Brits buying tickets to this play just to see Kit perform in person."

That was in the 250-seater Donmar. There was no chance that didn't sell out. Something has to bomb terribly to not get good play at the Donmar. This too will sell very well, but sell-out remains to be seen. Emilia Clarke did not manage that."

Yeah when he was doing True West with Johnny Flynn it wasn't selling very well, besides Game of Thrones finished half a decade ago. But I think it will do good business

Summer run at the Noel Coward with Kit Harrington, and James Cusati-Moyer reprising his role

They announced that they were developing it well over a year ago, I was wondering when we'd get some updates.
