Rialto Chatter: Could STANDING AT THE SKY'S EDGE Move to Broadway Next?

Could Standing at the Sky's Edge be headed for Broadway in the future? According to Deadline's Baz Bamigboye, the production, currently playing in London's West End, was recently visited by The Shubert Organization's chairman and CEO, Robert E. Wankel. 

Baz described Wankel's reaction to the production as "enraptured" and noted that "he left in a merry mood."

Could this mean that the show making receive a Broadway bow? Time will tell.
