Do you think this show would be successful on the West End? I know Billy Elliot lasted longer there & initially I wondered why it didn't start there. Maybe Sting's theater connections are more in NY, maybe UK people are less enamored of him than US people?

I think the show could be successful in the West End. Maybe not Billy Elliot big. It's a shame Sting couldn't have developed this with the National Theater. It would have been wiser to begin this show in the UK. But it's too late now.
