The London run can be confirmed by taking a look at their site.

I didn't realize this wasn't common knowledge, but Michael C. Hall is going with the production to London as well.

When will the cast album be released?! I loved the show at the NYTW. I know it was recorded and the cast even had a preview of it...

The cast album will be out in September

The website Bowiewonderword's news section quoted an interview with SAC from a blog called 'This Week In New York'

Uh, why? Isn't it done already?

I am just curious how do you know it is coming out in September?

For any U.S. people interested... Latest unconfirmed news is that Lazarus will be staged in a specialy built 800 seater as part of the King's Cross Theatre Complex in London. I'm not sure how big the overall venue is but they are currently staging the The Railway Children until October 30th. That show features a specially built stage to appear like rail track with audience on both sides. Unlikely to be used in that configuration again so i would guess that will be the space (currently seats about 950).

Still wondering where the cast album is. If the September date is true, why so late?

Anyone have details about the West End run? I'm trying to plan a trip out to London and would love to coordinate it so I can see Lazarus again!
Posted: 6/30/16 at 9:05am
Nope. They're being really slow in rolling out the news for this. It's bound to have lost some buzz by now.
Posted: 7/5/16 at 10:00pm
Any clue as to when this is happening in London? Looking to book a vacation but would love to catch this again...

I wonder if Brexit will have an impact on this show since they were planning on bringing over MCH and SAC.

How would there be a relationship between bringing over performers, via Equity and visas, and Brexit? I don't see a connection.
Posted: 7/7/16 at 8:55am
I thinkc all overseas transactions will be impacted. Are the visas through the EU or UK now? Or will they be put on hold pending a resolution? Salaries: if paid in pounds they just took a big hit. If in dollars, they might not be affordable now. Plus the whole thing is a backlash against foriegners. You are bringing in a non-Brit to play David Bowie, a British icon.

The Brexit has not been put into place yet, you know that right? Only the vote to exit has happened.
The presumptive cast of Lazarus is not the only American actors working in the UK or on the West End. There are already procedures put into place for that, and nothing has changed yet. (Except the value of the pound.) I don't work with actors contracts, so I don't know the answer. But again, nothing has changed yet with the points you raise.
"Plus the whole thing is a backlash against foriegners. You are bringing in a non-Brit to play David Bowie, a British icon."
He's not playing David Bowie...American & UK Equity do exchanges all the time.
