Wasn't the musical supposed to move to London later next year? Is the earlier move perhaps an indication of poor sales in Manchester?
I'm a bit apprehensive about this musical to be honest. I will probably go at some point. But the story sounds like Shrek. I hope there is a bit more to it because beyond gimmicks and good songs I ultimately think the story is really centrepiece. These days I like the fact that musical writers have been a bit more daring to look beyond the simple guy rescuing a girl and match made in heaven as the main driving force love story (see Wicked & Frozen).
Nevertheless I am very impressed the musical is happening after all this time and it is coming together. Hope it will be successful and of course very good.
