Note that Groff is performing in Stratford-upon-Avon from 26 September to 7 November 2026, and not London.

Opening Night this evening. Early reports on Theatreboard have been extremely positive and the photos on Playbill look great:

Loads of rapturous reviews for this one from the British press. Is it too soon to hope for a transfer, perhaps to
St. Ann’s or BAM?

Would certainly love to see this come over. As You Like It is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays and it hasn't been as produced as much in NYC in the last couple decades as one would think for one of his top-tier comedies.

Heleb Shaw raves:
Critic’s Pick
Jonathan Groff Dazzles in a Beautifully Broken ‘As You Like It’
Technical trouble stalled the opening night of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s all-male take on the comedy. But it was worth the wait.

The RSC ticketing site shows two performances being filmed this week. In the off-chance this doesn't comeover, that would be a way to see this.

I wonder if a short West End stint is in the mix. It seems to be selling well.
