War Horse and Sister Act 'set for Broadway transfer'
Monday, 13 September 2010
The success of War Horse and Sister Act on the West End means the shows may soon be set for a run on Broadway.
According to an article in the Guardian, both have been "pencilled in" for a transfer to the US, along with other hits such as Evita and The Mountaintop.
The report pointed out that Broadway is far from the only destination for hit West End shows, with a South Korean adaptation of Billy Elliott in the pipeline, along with a version of Legally Blonde that is due to open in the Philippines.
"No doubt British theatremakers could boast that our successful one-way cultural exchange comes down to the quality of homegrown product," the article stated.
People planning to purchase London theatre tickets to see Sister Act during its run in the capital may be able to see Whoopi Goldberg back in the role next month.
The star took time off the show after her mother fell ill before passing away, but she is due to return to the musical for five performances on October 22nd, 23rd and 25th.
