It is soon to embark on a national tour, beginning in January 2007 in Milton Keynes. There are plans to bring the show back to London in a reconceived production, following the tour.
Producer Sonia Friedman said: “I am very proud to have produced The Woman in White. A completely new musical is a rarity these days and, as is so often the case with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s work, The Woman in White was a groundbreaking piece of musical storytelling and was also at the forefront of pioneering new technology with its innovative design.”
Monty Python’s Spamalot will open at the Palace in October. No productions have yet been announced for the period in between the two shows.
