According to the Daily Mail, Sheffield Theatres' acclaimed production of My Fair Lady could transfer to the West End. Starring Dominic West as Henry Higgins and Carly Bawden as Eliza Doolittle, the production opened in the Crucible Theatre last month and continues until 26th January.
While nothing is yet confirmed, a London transfer could happen in May, when Dominic West is available to repeat his performance for a limited London season. According to the article West End theatre owners have been scrambling to stage the transfer. Everything is up for discussion while availability, rights - and a theatre - are being sorted.
Directed by artistic director Daniel Evans, the production marks Wire star Dominic West's musical theatre debut.
Lerner and Loewe's classic musical, adapted from George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion, features the songs "On The Street where you Live", "With a Little Bit of Luck" and "I Could have Danced all Night".
The cast also features Anthony Calf as Colonel Pickering, Martyn Ellis as Alfred Doolittle, Richenda Carey as Mrs Higgins and Nicola Sloane as Mrs Pearce.
