The Daily Mail has claimed that the West End production of Tim Rice's new musical, From Here To Eternity, will end its run at the Shaftesbury Theatre in April 2014, six months after it officially opened in the West End. The paper also suggests that the Chichester Festival Theatre production of The Pajama Game will transfer to the Shaftesbury from May 2014.
Darius Campbell and Rebecca Thornhill in From Here to Eternity
Tim Rice's first musical in a decade opened at the West End's Shaftesbury Theatre last month starring Darius Campbell, Siubhan Harrison, Robert Lonsdale, Ryan Sampson and Rebecca Thornhill. Adapted from James Jones's 1951 novel, the musical is described as a "gripping tale of illicit love and army life". From Here To Eternity unites the writing talents of Tim Rice (lyrics), Stuart Brayson (music) and Bill Oakes (book).
Richard Eyre's production of The Pajama Game ran at Chichester's Minerva Theatre between April and June this year starring Hadley Fraser and Joanna Riding. However, Riding will not be able to reprise her role as she is committed to Andrew Lloyd Webber's new musical Stephen Ward.
Please remember this gossip is yet to be officially confirmed.
