Any sort of source or anything? I would love it if it were true.

Seems very random if true, but Anika would add some very tough competition for that Tony.

I'm about it.
But I wonder if they have some A list casting to fill in next to Anika for this. There really really needs to be a recognizable "name" in this cast for it to sell.
But I'm excited to see it, regardless of who's cast, if this is really happening

Weak revival season, so kind of smart, but the Best Revival win didn't really help Once On This Island, although it's had a pretty healthy run.

What? If true, I didn't see this coming at all. Doesn't she have film/TV work that would prevent her from doing a longer run? I enjoyed the show for what it was and the performers were great but this came across like something at City Center Encores. I'm not sure it's going to move tickets without something to bulk up the book. The characters are underdeveloped and there's not enough action outside of the interpersonal drama to keep the story interesting.

The issue was never whether or not the theatre would be open come spring, it was whether or not this would be the show to take the theatre (which still seems unlikely, but you never know).
