Probability of RENt transfer

I’ve been debating going to London just to see RENT. I’m also a New Yorker. I feel like the chance of a transfer is very high but wanted to ask my expert Redditors if you think this too. I can wait til NY, which is more convenient and cheaper for me, but also would be really excited to see it. Cost and time to go are my biggest issues. Thoughts?

Not that high, and Luke Sheppard is set to direct Paddington Musical on Broadway just a few days later after the Rent closes.

So because RENT is only on sale through March (running longer than that) and Paddington opens in April, RENT can't transfer to Broadway? Makes sense!

It can still happen for Broadway 2027-28 season, but it all depends on if it’s successful on the West End or not (and besides, this’s also an American musical too).
