Has anyone heard if The Inheritance (Matthew Lopez's new two part play showing at the Young Vic in London) will transfer to New York?

There are talks, but nothing definitive at the moment since the current landscape has a few shows that would be competing for the same audience.

I have heard nothing but absolute raves about this. Once again jealous that I don’t live in London for all the amazing theatre they create. Hoping this comes over!

It's clearly written with a New York audience in mind, I'm sure a transfer has always been the goal. Hopefully they will fix the second part, which at times feels a bit of a let down after the excellent first one.

It is rumoured to be transferring into the West End this September after the run at the Young Vic (Noel Coward Theatre). Word of mouth has been very positive.

I saw part one last night. Seeing part two tonight. I found it riveting. Minimal set, great actors. Andrew Burnap is terrific in the lead. They are transferring to the Noel Coward theater in the West End in the fall.

It’s a 7 hour trashy soap with some moving moments. It should run off-Broadway but I don’t personally think it deserves a commercial Broadway run either for commercial or artistic reasons.
