Earlier today, Webber himself announced the show is expecting to make its Broadway next year. No word has been said if it will be part of this current 2021-2022 season or next year’s 2022-2023 season. Talks are also still being made for the show’s leading lady Carrie Hope Fletcher to possibly be part of the New York transfer. If it does happen, it will mark as Fletcher’s Broadway debut!!
