Now that the show is in LA, do we feel Broadway is imminent?

Curious if anyone has seen this and the UK version and can say what changes have been made.

My Mom and Sister saw it on the West End and liked it, but didn't think it was Broadway caliber. However, I would be shocked if they weren't eyeing a Broadway transfer.

I asked in the other thread if any of the film changes made it to LA, and it was confirmed that there were no changes (I was particularly interested if "This Was Me" was put in the stage version).  But not sure about West End vs. LA changes.

Also I suggest checking out the cast's performance on Corden the other night.

The version in LA is the tour version so there are some awkward transitions and stuff with no automation. Maybe they'll up their production value for Broadway, but right now the production feels like a bloated 2nd Stage show. And the fact that we never get to see Jamie in drag is a real let down. But overall it's a fun show. And I could see it finding an audience. And great opportunity to stunt cast famous drag queens.

I haven’t seen the UK version, but in LA there are several lines about masks, hand sanitizer, and social distancing that I’m quite sure weren’t there before 2020.

I saw it on the West End in 2019 and in Los Angeles last week. I loved it, but it's very British and in Broadway's current climate I do not see how or why the show would transfer. SIX is an anomaly that had many years of promotion online and a massive gain of online support and fandom created by it's presence there. Certainly there's a theatre available for JAIME in NYC, but seats are very low on sales in LA, and in the 30+ years of seeing theatre at the Ahmanson & Taper in LA, it's the first time I've ever seen an announcement for FREE tickets to see a show.
