For everyone who complains that the transatlantic theatre journey is pretty one-way right now, I found this article.
I knew there were a lot of US originated shows over there but didn't know it was this many.
The title is a little misleading. I think the Bacharach show began life at NYTW - which isn't B'way - but still there's a lot of American shows over there.
I hope their American accents have got better!

Some posters on here and the other board.
Some media writers. For example - and if I remember rightly - Isherwood, in the NYTimes when writing about the chances of HAND TO GOD winning the Best Play over CURIOUS INCIDENT, championed it as an American play.

What's "the other board"? BWW West End? Theatre Forums? ATC?

The "other board" I referred was ATC. Sorry, I've seen enough posts on here referring to "the other board" and thought that you all would know which one I meant. My mistake.
"..just to be clear nobody thinks its one way." Nobody? I wouldn't put my house on that if I were you.
