Does anyone know what shows are transferring from the UK and I would love to come if
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time was transferring. And is Gyspy with Imelda or Sweeney coming ?

Considering gypsy with imelda hasnt even been announced in the uk yet (just that its possible for chichester next year) let alone opened, talk of a transfer is a tad early

Curious Incident and The Bodyguard may transfer

I always wonder how transfers work. Is it cheaper to transfer a show than to open a new production? I mean you already have the physical production, and if you're using the same cast, you could cut down on rehearsal time. If they bring over an entire cast, like they did for One Man, Two Guvenors, did they put them all up in a hotel or do they get them all apartments?

I think the most likely shows are The Audience, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime and probably not until late 2014/early 2015 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Seeing Top Hat last week, I would guess this is being primed for a Broadway transfer, with both leads Gavin Lee (Broadway veteran with Mary Poppins) and the American Kristen Beth Williams, whoo was recently in Nice Work and Anything Goes, look like they have been paired with Broadway beckoning.
