Yes, Disney presented it as the new blueprint for all upcoming versions worldwide, including Broadway and London.

I went to NYC specifically to see Deborah Cox in Aida - the Tony Moran remix of Easy as Life is still one of my favourite dance tracks of all time.
She was great in the role and really sang the score well, but that book...the show comes to a grinding halt between songs. Granted, Cox may not be the world's best actress, but i find it hard to believe anyone could make them really fly off the page.
There were numerous attempts to get Aida into London over the years, but its never materialised and the Netherlands production was finally going to get it there. One day it will get there.

I agree that this show would benefit enormously from being sung-through. Putting those in-between dialogues on music would elevate those scenes from primary-school theatre to a professional musical.
The route they took with the revival was the other way around unfortunately.
