This sounds far more likely, and a much better fit.

It's not Oliver!
I have heard a few of the shows already mentioned as the possible next show at the Lane. We'll have to wait and see.

Let's just cut to the chase and bring back "The Lord of the Rings".

My first thought was The Hunger Games play (? is it even a play? Stage show of some description) though all seems to have gone quiet on that front. Also not sure if it would really be a fit for Drury Lane.

Is there any chance of the current Broadway revival of Sweeney Todd transferring in here? Might work, with the right stars…

MJ at the Prince Edward pretty much rules out Oliver! going there. The rumour was it's going to its first home.

I wouldn't be surprised if Dear England did another season here for a few months while they wait for another big musical.

A few things-
The Greatest Showman is seeking a non traditional space- not Drury Lane
There will likely be a filler in there for Xmas next year- something depressing like Elf.. and then a big show will move in early 2025.
That show could very well be Beetlejuice.

She went on a world tour of about fifteen, none of them close to what she should've been aiming for.

Could they choose a filler which showcases the different potential layouts?

This is stone cold dead. Not happening. You’ve been wrong before, as have I and others with the information we get. Last I heard was they’re workshopping it with changes, and I quote, “for modern audiences”, ahead of a planned TR:DL revival. The timing would line up as would the availability of the cast I’ve heard they’ve approached

Oh god no, please . I don’t want to see The Producers for a “modern audience”. I want to see it in all its brash, original glory.
And before anyone says it shouldn’t be allowed let me see you on the Book Of Mormon thread saying that it should be closed.

That show could very well be Beetlejuice. Sounds like you've heard the same rumblings I have! I heard Elf and then Beetlejuice today. Elf I wasn't surprised to here, but I thought another show would be a more likely pick for TRDL than Beetlejuice would be. Surely that would do better in a smaller house? I could see it in the Adelphi but I don't think BTTF's looking to close any time soon

How well is Dolly selling? Could it/might it move to Drury Lane after its stint at the Palladium?
