Of course, how can I forget that no show has ever improved after an early out-of-town developmental production?

James Margruder did the adaptation. 

 

I'm excited. I heard only great things from a lab they did over the winter from people all across the industry. 

There have been a number of actresses in that role, before and after AA. Don't know why everyone is so fixated on it being "her" role. 

I'm hearing rumors that the Nederlander is out. What other theatres are possibly up for grabs? They do have a commerical producer attached (like they seem to have for most of this season). 

Orfeh is confirmed as Kit

Samantha Barks will be playing Vivian, and Steve Kazee will be playing Edward.

The show will premiere at Chicago's Oriental Theatre in March and open on Broadway in the fall at a Nederlander house. 

Just a heads up, according to the Box Office, the $59 seats are few and far between and the $99 seats have slim pickings as well through the current on sale date. 

Drudging this ol' chestnut up again. I added TGC. Any others missing from the first post?

I'm predicting none of the above

He's doing it at the Hollywood Bowl.

Jamie Verazin (the one who does all the big lifts and has ridiculous arm muscles - seriously, every time she is in the costume with the red/white/blue fan, I just stare at her arms in jealousy)

Sadly, it doesn't show a cast member getting proposed to on stage after the show... cause that happened.

I second the eye roll. Platt had no trouble showing up the night his idol was there, I see."

You mean the night he was scheduled to show up? Like he is most nights? 

Not a "favorite" (though I did see it twice, but...):

A young french girl becomes a woman under the watchful eyes of her two aunts - one of whom wants to partner her up with the slightly older "big brother" in her life, mostly for his money. 

Fankhauser singing "Run Away With Me"? Yeah, I'll go. 

I remember Les Mis announcing pretty early last year... Like 8 months or so.
