Sorry if this has already been asked/answered, but is there any possibility of this extending? It's such a short run and seems to be selling incredibly well.

I think it's very possible they might try to replace Lea (who needs to do Into the Woods in the Philippines) and extend in same theatre or different (not sure how long theatre is empty).
Would be good if they can get another Sondheim heavy-hitter such as Donna Murphy or Patti LuPone.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Would be cool if they were filming it.

Wasn’t this already filmed in London? Or an earlier version?
