Hearing they have scheduling issues with their team and cant come in this season.

Does it have a theater? Also I may be wrong here but I think I heard recently that Galileo (starring Raùl Esparza and Joy Woods) is coming in the spring."

I caught the presentation of this and was bored to tears. That's money wasted if they are really coming in (and I thought Lempicka was the better show...)”

Did you see a presentation post-Berkeley Rep?

With the exception of "Lost Boys" I don't want to see any of them.

 

"Two Strangers ..." on the other hand is brilliant and I can't wait to see it again.

With this unexciting lineup they really should bring Here We Are to Broadway.

Mythic is a Marcus Stevens show, right? With all my hand-wringing about new musical development, it’s great to see a fellow Pittsburgh creative really make it.

I just don’t think word of mouth matters much in regards to when shows transfer in. People on these boards ripped the tryouts to shreds for shows like The Great Gatsby and The Outsiders, and SURPRISE! They’re both still running.

People on these boards do not speak for commercial audiences, and if they did, they would have let you believe Back to the Future was so bad it was going to close immediately.

The Devil Wears Prada is still selling extremely well in London, the sequel has hyped up renewed interest in the IP, and it’s got a creative team behind it with a lot of connections.

The show not meeting this board’s criteria actually has nothing to do with anything.

Is Brokeback Mountain in Chicago next year not a Broadway try out?

Yes, that's right -- Mythic is a Marcus Stevens show. It's been in development for years, with productions in Montreal and London under a different director, but rooting for them all. It's in fantastic shape now.

Nah. It was great off-Broadway and it's unlikely they'd get any of the same cast, so no, thanks. Leave it be.

I guess that’s that on that!
