Editing the greatest book ever written for a musical is such an insane thought, but I don’t doubt revisions are happening. I like the small edit of cutting the “Small World” reprise in the Patti production, but even Laurents admitted it was only there for Merman to have a second act solo before Rose’s Turn.

Laurents made some smart decisions over the years regarding the book (some cutting of the hotel room scene, the added dialogue during the strip), but overall, as people have said above, this is not a musical that needs revising by anyone else. If you want to use different versions of the libretto, sure. But I don't want anybody touching this perfectly crafted book!

This is really happening with Audra but I'm now hearing spring 2026 due to scheduling difficulties. Bryan Cranston is the current name being discussed for Herbie. Also a recent Grammy winner to make her Broadway debut as Louise. But all very hush hush at the moment.

Isn't Cranston doing Inherit The Wind alongside his former costar Giancarlo Esposito? That feels like a better use of his time, he's kind of overqualified for Herbie.

Isn't everyone overqualified for Herbie?

There's reports this is taking the Marquis theater, but if it's not arriving until 2026, then any reported theaters at this point don't matter.

Now the reports I heard was that Stranger Things is reopening the Majestic.

I remember he’d been linked to Damn Yankees last winter/earlier this year.

He's been seemingly linked to that for like 10 years, which doesn't feel like a great part for Mr. Gravitas and is not a revival that anyone is begging for.

Yeah, it really seems like people are just making up whatever they want with this. Even Audra said it's a rumor.

It’s definitely more than a rumor at this point. There’s a site live (Hogan tried to dismiss the exact same type of password protected site for Appropriate before it announced its move to the Belasco) and Tom Kirdahy is producing. Just a matter of when and where it’s happening at this point. If it’s waiting til 2026, then I have more doubts that it’ll come to fruition. Audra of course said it was just a rumor when she can’t announce something publicly. This is not the first time a star has denied something that was in the works. It’s how PR works.

Audra’s “denial” was -
"You know, people talk, people talk."

Right exactly. And let’s be serious, there are very few truly out of no where announcements without at least some idea of the info leaking beforehand these days. Though they do still happen from time to time and it’s thrilling when it’s actually an exciting production.
