According to an article from Slash Film today, a test screening of Your Highness took place on February 18, 2010 in Burbank, California, and most of the audience "buzz" (um, no pun intended!

October 30, 2009: Damian and The Misanthrope might cross the pond to Broadway
In his Daily Mail column today, columnist Baz Bamigboye suggests that The Misanthrope might possibly transfer to Broadway after completing its London run in March. He says, "Theatre owners and producers from New York have already been on to the London producers, asking to transfer the production -- with Keira and Damian -- to New York." He then adds that it's primarily "up to Damian whether it goes or not, as he's the lead. Keira has told friends she's very much a company player."
