Last I read was it was postponed a couple of weeks because of the untimely death of an investor. Any news beyond that?
Any more news about Rebecca?

She went back to Sunnybrook Farms until they find another investor.

I certainly none of the actors (and other professionals) turned down other offers of work, I'm thinking this isn't going to be happening.

By the way: Didn't Karen Mason play the teacher in one of the CHRISTMAS STORY tours? I wonder if she's not free for that role. Just a thought.

Telecharge is selling tickets for (what is now scheduled to be the first preview) Tuesday, November 6th, and forward.
p.s. I already had / still have my tickets for Wednesday night, Nov. 7th.

If they were a $1 million short maybe they could raise money in a few weeks. But $4.5 million, that's going to be next to impossible. But good luck. I was looking forward to the show.

James Barbour has posted any and all changes regarding REBECCA on Facebook. He hasn't said a word about this new speed bump for the show.

The situation with Rebecca differs from the situation with Godspell in that it's money that was pledged and is now tied up in the courts due to the death of an investor. I would imagine that one way or another that money will eventually go back to them. With Godspell it was a case of that money never being there to begin with (I don't remember if they just never found the backers to cover them or if an investor pulled out, but either way, the money was definitely not there, not just delayed like it appears to be with Rebecca).

Until they have good news, I'm sure the producers will be as mum as possible for as long as possible. Just keep your eyes on the marquee...

For a show thats supposed to start next month, they haven't even bothered to fully remove the STREETCAR signs yet. And right next door MATILDA (a show not starting until MARCH) is all over the Shubert.
This show is dead in the water.

AEA -- as always-- thanks for the clarification. Sometimes its those simple things that get away from me!

Jordan, the situation is greatly different when it comes to marquees. Rebecca was due to start moving in the day after Streetcar's load out was completed due to the fast turn around of the house, so no marquee COULD be put up until load-in was reasonably under way. This snafu with the death of an investor put a stoppage to ALL work until a solution is found and set in stone. The producer would not - and should not - be spending a cent until this situation is fully ironed out. News should be due very soon.. As was previously said, the money is there. It does exist. But the death has caused an issue that needs to be ironed out so that the production can, hopefully, proceed.
This is a case of very unfortunate circumstances, not a producer who didn't raise the required funds.

The only story her is that Rebecca is delayed for 2 weeks, due to the death of a prominent investor, if there was more of a story Riedel would of been picking off the caucus last week.

Jordan, I noticed that the other night too. I thought, "how embarrassing."

Not sure if the box office opened today, but I saw on Telecharge they moved the date of the first preview again, it is now 11/13.
