Not sure if this is real or not but got sent a clip from their Fringe performance that says they're transferring to Off-Broadway Spring 2009. Congrats to them! If it's not real, shame on me for not getting the joke.
Saw it, along with about 15 other Fringe shows this summer. It was my favorite of the bunch and seemed to be the hit of the festival. I completely loved this little girl too. Anyone know what she's up to these days?

Posted: 12/2/08 at 4:24pmYeah my friend says they are doing their workshop January-February. It was pretty funny at the Fringe, but apparently there are funnier rewrites. She also said the writers are apparently working on another project being produced this season.

Posted: 12/2/08 at 5:24pmCompletely loved this show. Glad to see it's having a life after the Fringe.

Posted: 12/2/08 at 10:20pmIf a transfer happens, Andrew Keenan-Bolger would be unavailable as he is doing the MARY POPPINS tour.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.

Wasn't she the one who was going to be in the revival of Godspell?
Sorry to hear about Andrew KB. He was one of my favorite parts. His Zac Efron was priceless.

Didn't Godspell fall through?
Anyone know if this'll be transfered by late March?

Posted: 12/2/08 at 11:40pmI love that Perez Hilton himself commented by saying this video is amazing. I'm kind of shocked that he likes this. It was my impression that they were characterizing him as a star-f***ery obnoxious troll. Haha, well I guess I would be kind of flattered if someone wrote a musical about me, even if it was mean.

On Perez's blog he wrote about how much he liked the show and wanted it to come to LA. I don't think he came across too bad, they actually made him a little sympathetic in parts and he had some of the funniest lines. If it were me, I'd be flattered lol
As far as the cast, I really hope that they keep everyone. I really hope they get Lindsay Nicole Chambers back... she didn't do the extension at the Barrow Street and I missed her there. I also heard that AKB has an out in his contract, should Perez transfer. YAY AKB!

Posted: 12/3/08 at 12:14amBobRandomGuyMan, I doubt that Keenan-Bolger would turn down a principle role (he's playing Robertson Ay) in a premiere National Tour for a supporting role in an Off-Broadway transfer.

Posted: 12/3/08 at 12:25amhe has outs for off broadway, broadway and film and he would. he would still get the credit for originating the role if he goes out on the tour and then comes off the tour for this.

Posted: 12/3/08 at 12:49amI dunno, heard it from a pretty reliable source, somethingwicked. I think the logic is, he's been out on the road enough, and a show in NYC, even if it's off-Broadway, gets an actor more exposure than a tour.

Posted: 12/3/08 at 1:42amAW I like his voice! I mean, he's not one of those amazingly gifted singers, but I think he sounds exactly like he should for his type. And he has dynamite presence. You can't take your eyes off of him onstage. And judging by his work record, a lot of other people agree.
