Ben Miles is doing The Mirror and the Light at RSC in London. 

I am so happy this is coming back as I didn't get to see it before the pandemic. I will definitely be adding this to my roster of shows for my November trip!

Does anyone know the Amex presale code?? The phone number on the back doesn't work. Thanks!

Perhaps soon we'll be seeing similar announcements from West Side Story and The Book of Mormon. This is the first SR project besides the upcoming The Music Man to announce an opening/reopening date.

I was thinking this as well. I checked Ibdb as soon as I saw this announcement and the page still hadn’t been updated to reflect the new opening date, I wanted to see who might’ve taken over SR’s duties. I could see it just ending up being solely a Neal street production.

Apparently Mormon is getting some rewrites to "tone it down."  Lawyers are probably still working on MM and WSS.

It's as if this show was written for Wall St. and/or those who remember and lived thru the financial nightmare of 2008.  Could understand why some would find it dry.

SPOTCO DROPS ‘LEHMAN TRILOGY’ FROM LAWSUIT AGAINST RUDIN, CLEARING PATH TO OPENING

May 21, 2021 by Philip Boroff

EXCLUSIVE: The company producing The Lehman Trilogy  on Broadway has been removed from a lawsuit by the advertising agency SpotCo, simplifying the show’s return to New York after the Covid-related industry shutdown.

SpotCo said Monday in a filing in New York State Supreme Court that it “wishes and intends to discontinue” the suit against Three Brothers Broadway LLC, which is presenting Stefano Massini’s acclaimed play about the now-defunct investment bank Lehman Brothers. In an Aug. 5, 2020 complaint against producer Scott Rudin and companies he managed, SpotCo alleged that it was owed $319,000 by Three Brothers Broadway for work done on behalf of the play.

Too bad it will only be a relatively short run on Broadway. I was hoping to catch it in late spring 2022.

Btw, according to Deadline.com, Rudin is out, but co-producers Barry Diller & David Geffen are staying with the production,

Does anyone know why they pulled this from San Francisco?
