That should be interesting. Is is going to be a musical?
ReplyDeleteIt is not a musical and will be pretty close to the film. The brand new theater where it will be housed is next door to Wembely Stadium in west London and should be a marvelous venue, although it certainly is a far piece from the center of London where most plays are held.
