Are you familiar with the area the Geva is in? Is it safe? Walkable? According to Google Maps, there's a Hyatt and a Hilton only a few blocks away.

Kad said: "The fact that a Dreamgirls revival can't seem to actually come together is one of the weirder Broadway mysteries."Right? The movie was a huge hit, so I would’ve thought there would have been a revival much sooner.Is anyone able to comment on what is/was planned for the look of the revival? Planned to incorporate the movie songs?I would love to see a revival that at least pays homage to Michael Bennetts original staging.

Matt Rogers said: "They already did a reproduction of the original in 2009, in the Apollo Theatre production that was supposed to move to Broadway but didn't. The same rights holders are responsible for the stale reproduction of A Chorus Line that landed on Broadway with a thud in 2006. No more museum pieces. Let’s have something original."Actually, no. The 2009 Apollo Theater production was a new staging that incorporated LED screens instead of the light towers, had different costumes and se...

s**tJust realized 2026 will be the 20th anniversary of the movie. I bet that means it's almost guaranteed to use the movie-inspired alterations.

The show is not the movie, and the movie is not the show"YES! Every staging since the Longbottom 2009 tour (including the UK version and the 2023 Goodspeed staging) seem to want to be "The Movie Live on Stage!"

Wonder what happened to michael berresse, who opened as Zach in the 2006 revival?

ACL2006 said: "Jordan Catalano said: "After Breglio's speech, I'm convinced we won't see another production of ACL on Broadway in it's original form. Neither him or Baayork are getting any younger. And Baayork has several assistants now."I agree we won’t see one for quite awhile. But there could be some legalese that in order to do it on broadway, it has to be the original choreography

Yes, it definitely made me want to see a full broadway revival again, and yes I would have bought merch if the had any.there were 2 cameras set up in the back of the orchestra section. I asked an usher, he said it was for the Library

Jordan Catalano said: "Also,John Breglio talked about how people always saythey want the show updated and his response was basically “never”. So that made me happy."When he talked about a revival (before he got to the updating part) someone yelled out “definitely!” and he just said “eh” which I found disappointing since that made it sound like he wasn’t interested in doing one anytime soon

Surprised no one here has mentioned the upcoming production at Goodspeed Opera House later this year, billed as the "50th Anniversary Production." I asked on their Facebook page, and they stated it would be a replica production. I am planning to come out from California to see it. Could this be the production that eventually moves to Broadway?Has anyone here heard the 1996 BBC Broadcast? It's been floating around the web for a while. It's billed as a "concert cast" although Donna McKechnie ge...
