"The Local Hero Musical is currently still on hold, plans are afoot".
I think these are good news.
I always suspected that, after reworking the musical for Chichester by Daniel Evans with MK and Guy (Evans asked Mark to write a new first song and rewrite musically other two songs), and considering that Evans was taking a place as co-artistic director of The Royal Shakespeare Company, who runs some musicals in London, further than Shakespeare plays, he would want to take his Local Hero version to London. This "currently still on hold" suggest me (as far as my understanding of English arrives...) that the RSC would have already scheduled all this 2023, and probably 2024 and any plans, that are "afoot", would have to wait in the queue.
But the way Guy answered me, makes me think this is going to happen in the future, which I really hope it does, as it seems that any chance of releasing the music on CD/LP depends on the musical being played in London.
I really would want that it can happen late 2024, the Chichester dates were announced in March 2022 to happen in October the same year, 7 months in adavance, but the Edinburgh run was announced in April 2018 to happen in March 2019, almost a year in advance.
