Wasn't there talk a few years ago of a proposed revival of "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum" starring Omid Djalili? I think it was going to be produced by Cameron Mackintosh. What happened to this? Why did it fall through?
I remember when it was going to happen (wasn't it going to be at the Novello?) but I have no idea what happened. Perhaps Betty Blue Eyes came along.
2013 Theatre: Loserville ***** Merrily We Roll Along ***** La Bohéme (Royal Opera House Live) **** One Man, Two Guvnors (UK Tour) * Oliver! (UK Tour) ***** Lulu (Welsh National Opera) ***** Driving Miss Daisy (UK Tour) [x2] ***** Sexual Perversity in Chicago *** Madame Butterfly (Welsh National Opera) *** High Society (UK Tour) *** Singin' In The Rain ***** The Ladykillers (UK Tour) ***** Peter And Alice ***** A Chorus Line ***** Once *** A Chorus Line ***** GHOST: The Musical (UK Tour) **** The Great Gatsby (Northern Ballet) ***** RENT - 20th Anniversary Concert ** The Woman in Black (UK Tour) ** Matthew Bourne's Sleeping Beauty ***** Lohengrin (Welsh National Opera) **** The Three Phantoms **** Wagner Dream (Welsh National Opera) * The Audience ****
Cameon looked into it three years ago or so and had in mind for it to play Thw Wyndhams.
Other projects like, Betty, Phantom tour and Les Mis has caused it to shuffle away and I would say now Omids headlining turn for What The Butler Saw would mean this
Wasn't it supposed to have an out-of-town tryout at Ipswich?
