I wish he'd direct something on Broadway. His Company looked phenomenal, even if he was too old. Maybe he could do Zorba like he was going to after Nine.
This production has been rumored to come to Broadway for a limited run since 2019. COVID derailed that but it's still appears to be on the back burner.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
Have had it on and really like it. Love the orchestrations. They stay very true to the original but sound a little tighter. I didn't know they do the One reprise/finale in English. Really nice recording.

Good to know. I'd like to see more foreign and gender-swapped revivals come to Broadway in the future.
My grip with this production is that they Mario Lopez-ed Banderas' Zach. However, the recording might be worth it. Always a dream to do this show with a 40-piece orchestra.

At least he has the talent to back it up and isn't making Larry wear something to cover up his muscles.
I sometimes forget what a vibrant production schedule Spain, particularly Madrid, has for musical theatre. A post over at TheatreBoard highlights some of the many shows in the current and coming season.
Found out this production is currently touring throughout Spain.
Just finished listening to this cast recording. It's really beautifully done. The added orchestrations, extended tracks make it worth listening to. Yep we still can't get a recording of "And".

""And" was recorded by the 2006 revival cast. However, the track was only available streaming from Yahoo or something crazy like that.

Yeah, it was through some kind of service that doesn't exist anymore. So it has essentially vanished.

yeah, not a complete recording of "And" as it doesn't include Bobby's monologue.

I seem to remember there was talk of The Public wanting to bring it over. And now having heard it, I really really hope they do.
It's a wonderful recording and the translation is either reinvigorating, or invigorating, depending on your thoughts of the recent remounts. Either way, it's wonderful.
