The success of the Coronation Street Play at the Lowry Theatre in Salford has convinced bosses to push for a West End transfer claim tabloid reports. The Sun claims that bosses have been surprised by the success of the play and the demand for tickets and are now hoping to transfer the play to the West End.

“We knew it was a great play but we’ve been bowled over by how well it’s gone down. We’re in talks with London theatres and we hope to have something tied up soon. Hopefully it will rank as one of the West End’s top theatrical nights out.” – A ‘source’ quoted in The Sun

The play condenses all 7000 + episodes of Coronation Street down covering all the memorable storylines featured within the Granada serial since its beginning 50 years ago. Five actors bring 55 characters alive with classic and iconic characters such as Hilda Ogden and Elsie Tanner featuring within the play. The play has been written by Jonathan Harvey who regularly writes episodes for Corrie.
