In honor of MTC's Ink, we're looking at recent transfers from the West End that found a new home on Broadway plus shows we think will soon be flying in direct from London to entertain American audiences.

Ben Forster has had one of the most varied stage careers in recent years, having played the roles of Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar; the Angel of Music in Phantom of the Opera; and Buddy in Elf the Musical amongst others. He now brings his first solo concert, Me, Myself and Musicals, to the Theatre Royal Haymarket.

Jason Robert Brown's annual pilgrimage to the UK culminated this year in an intimate concert at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, launching its 'Sunday Encounters' residencies. Known for his penchant for writing a rather lengthy tune, Brown kept this show to a timely 130 minutes…which left his audience desperate for more.

Musical Theatre Concert producers Club 11 London announce that after the 2016 and 2018 sell out concerts, Broadway and TV star Jeremy Jordan will return on Friday 25th, Saturday 26th & Sunday 27th October 2019 at Cadogan Hall, London, for just four shows.

The newly released West End cast recording of Heathers includes all the fan-favorite songs from the original version, as well as a few new additions. For longtime fans, it's a welcome treat to have an updated version, but it's unlikely to win over longtime skeptics.

At a ceremony tonight at the Prince of Wales Theatre hosted by Vicky Vox and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, the winners of the 19th Annual WhatsOnStage Awards were announced - the only major theatre awards decided entirely by the theatregoers themselves.
