London shows head back to New York

Joan Rivers is planning to take her West End hit Broke And Alone back to the US.

And she's considering performing it as a two-woman show with Whoopi Goldberg.

The sold-out shows Rivers premiered in London earlier this year ran for less than an hour, so a second act would extend the running time to a full evening, with interval, and justify higher ticket prices.

If it is produced as a two-hander, the Broadway show may be called Black And White, the New York Post reports.

The pair would share top billing and alternate who would open the show.
