This looks like it might be worth a trip to London. : )

Any rumors of a transfer?

Anyone want to do an exchange program and I'll go to London to see this and you can come to the US and see a show?  hehe

I think it’s closed already.

I really hope we get to see it in New York.

If they were looking to transfer it, they would likely try to bring it to the West End first before immediately making the leap across the pond. And I haven’t even heard anything about it transferring to the West End.

It seems unlikely to me that she will want to uproot herself for a full run here, but maybe she could do a week at BAM or something like that.

I was lucky enough to see the show on my London trip - it’s not a physically demanding role (she’s literally just sitting in a chair the whole time), but I imagine it’s very mentally and emotionally taxing.

I went, it was pretty good, but it is literally her sitting in a chair talking for 2 hours and what's coming out of her mouth isn't always very interesting.

It’s not the most amazing text you’ll ever hear but it’s the perfect vehicle for an aged actress with a strong and warm personality. It’s exactly the kind of thing I’d pay big $$$ to see Angela Lansbury do. Maggie was great.
