I’m going to be in London next September and was struggling to find something new that I wanted to see (first world theatre problems I know). I’m definitely getting a ticket to this. I wonder if the same cast will transfer including Caissie Levy?

So happy to see this and hope it comes to Broadway as well. Truly even better than the amazing original production - Cassie Levy will walk away with the Tony and Olivier for this role.

Unfortunately I think Nicole S has made this race much more challenging now. Don't get me wrong, C Levy's performance is excellent and worthy of an Olivier or Tony award, but so is Nicole's. At this moment, I actually see it more likely to go to Nicole because of the buzz of the show being more recent etc. plus it's a very exciting star-driven performance. Makes me sad but this calendar year of theatre in London has been exceptionally strong - amazingly strong. And there can only be one winner*.
* Besides the real winners that are audience members who get to see all this incredible work.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)

Brave choices (which conceivably would sell lots of tickets - Billie Piper or Hannah Waddingham. Who says Diana has to be American?"
Katie Breyban will win the Tony for the smash hit that Tammy Faye is going to be on Broadway. There’s also going to be Dolly Parton, Kristin Cheno in queen of Versailles, and possibly Idina. Betty Boop, Belle and Alicia Keys either this season or next. The two women I’m sure are fantastic, but they will be more inclined to give it to a new original hit musical that will go on the road, rather than a star driven limited engagement.

And where did you hear that Breyban is coming to New York with the show? Do you have insider sources or are you just making stuff up again?

I'd personally prefer the Tony to go to C Levy or Nicole over Katie Breyban (and I've seen all three performances!). But I wouldn't be disappointed In a win for any of the three - although feels like we're getting ahead of ourself predicting a race when not a single one of the three have even been announced to be performing their roles in NYC (or in the case of n2n/sunset even a broader transfer lol).

My fiance forwarded me the email that we qualified to book early since we had attended the production at the Donmar. I automatically booked tickets to the matinee and evening shows on August 24th!!! This will be my first solo trip out of the country. It didn't feel impulsive at all haha. Praying that Caissie returns and if the show *does* transfer to Broadway, I'm going to plan a trip to see it there too!
The producers appear to be David Stone and Nederlanders...surely this sounds like a Broadway transfer is on the cards.

Signed up for the presale and grabbed a ticket for Sept. prices were reasonable. I’m in row D of the stalls for about $145 Cdn (I know most of you have no idea how much that is lol but I paid more than that for my ticket to sit way further back at The Notebook this spring).
