I hope this is not coming to broadway"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).

I guess the most basic answer to the question is: because they were not the lead producer. Scott Rudin picked up The Humans and Jeffrey Richards brought in Significant Other. I'm going to answer based on my experience (others, please chime in if you have experienced something else!). I'll give a more generic answer first, and then dive into RTC.The relationship between Off-Broadway NFPs and Broadway producers varies, but I would say that there are two main methods to how a show goes from NFP ...

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

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

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

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

Lisa Gajda (who may have more or less retired post-Tuck?) has at least 16 shows under her belt. Jennifer Smith (currently MBP's cover in Anastasia) has been around for a while as well.For me, (and this could be because I am in the industry and I have a decently large internal database in my brain) I would classify "famous" ensemble members as people that when I read the full casting list and I see their name, I think "oh, yay! That should be good". Of course, then there is the whole SYTYCD al...
