If you could choose one show to transfer for next season, which do you choose?

"Listen up let me tell you a stoooryyyy".


But other than that one, it would be Everybody's Talking About Jamie.

I think for me it clearly comes down to 2 choices. Fairview, and The Inheritance. Fairview I've heard may not be able to be replicated on a proscenium stage, but I am so intrigued by this show and really hope to catch it this summer after it just extended. The Inheritance, pretty much speaks for itself. New, award winning 7 and a half hour drama about being a gay man in NYC? Sign me tf up. How about you guys? "

You might be in luck with The Inheritance - just seen a casting call for it in 2019/20!

I'm in London so my answers would obviously be different (I think we're getting Fairview at the Young Vic in November, actually!), but Everybody's Talking About Jamie would be a fun Broadway transfer; it's very popular over here.

There's always transfers from Broadway to the West End, but if we could have Hadestown back soon, that'd be good...

Hoping Six makes the transfer too, Yvan, even if it doesn't though it'll be in Boston this summer so you should be able to catch it! I think its doing well on the west end though, so wouldn't be shocking if it makes its way to Bway.



SO happy to hear about The Inheritance casting notice!! I figured as much, but still to get some sort of confirmation is really nice. Also big on the Lehman Trilogy, I believe its already rumored to play Lincoln Center after My Fair Lady wraps up this July.

Since Inheritance, Lehman Trilogy, Jungle, Jamie, and Secret Life of Bees are obvious and most-likely, my one personal choice would definitely be Ride The Cyclone. An awesome opportunity for that small, original, thrill of a musical to make a splash in a season of jukebox fluff.

The first two times I read this sentence I thought you meant that there was a Yiddish production of Equus running here, and I'm like "sign me up! Where is it playing?"

Oh boy. There's so much here.
- Sutton's Sweet Charity
- Company revival (starring Sutton if #1 doesn't happen, or Kate Baldwin, or SJB, or Lena Hall)
- Follies revival, recast again with some big NYC names (Christine Baranski for Carlotta?)
- Marie, Dancing Still. Caught this in Seattle recently, and while I didn't particularly like Terrence Mann in it, I think this musical really has the potential to be something great.

Play - Hangmen

Musical - Girl From North Country

I've just got to say, it's so interesting reading everyone's responses to this! I'm used to hearing discussions about which Broadway shows should transfer to the West End, so hearing the other side of the conversation feels nice.

I have a feeling Marianne Elliott's Company will get over to New York at some point - hopefully, anyway. And if some of the West End cast are free, all the better (especially Jonathan Bailey, who was amazing).

Maggie Smith in A German Life. I couldn't fit it into my recent London schedule and I've heard nothing but raves about her AND the play.

Id also absolutely love Marianne Elliot's Death Of A Salesman to transfer. Have never seen or read that historic play, and this production seems like a near perfect first experience with the piece. Out of all shows Ive never seen or read, Salesman is clearly #1 for the classics. Cant wait to see my first Arthur Miller play on Bway in just a few weeks!!
