The theme for our first show at school is British Imports, the show is just a bunch of songs from different shows that normally follow a theme.
I haven't had this verified yet btu I assume this means shows like Miss Saigon, Evita, Phantom, Les Mis, Billy Elliot, etc.
What are some other shows that have transferred?

Beyond all the Lloyd Webber and Boublil & Schönberg shows, My Fair LAdy, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Chess and Mamma Mia spring to mind

Oliver
The Boyfriend
Bitter Sweet
Kiss of the Spider Woman was workshopped at SUNY Purchase and premiered in Toronto before opening in London and later on Broadway, so don't know if it would count

Posted: 9/4/10 at 2:57pmDo you mean with British imports shows that were devised in Britain or shows made by British composers/writers ?

Chewy -
MY FAIR LADY was written for Broadway. Did not even open in London until 2 years later. And KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN was also written fro Broadway but premiered in Toronto and went to London before New York. So, I don't think either one qualifies as London to Broadway transfer.
A few others that did transfer:
ME AND MY GIRL (London 1937, New York 1986)
IRMA LA DOUCE (Paris, 1956, London 1958, New York 1960)
OLIVER! (London 1960, New York 1963)
STOP THE WORLD... (London 1961, New York 1962)
HALF A SIXPENCE (London 1963, New York 1965)
PICKWICK (London 1963, New York 1965)
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com
