Brooklyn the Musical, which will begin its first US National tour June 11th in Saint Paul with American Idol Diana DeGarmo and Tony Winner Melba Moore, will open in Korea this June for an open-ended run.

In 2007, Brooklyn will open in both Tokyo and Osaka (Feb-March) and have a new production in the Phillipines (TBD). A limited engagement in Las Vegas as well as a second US National tour are also in the works for 2007. More International productions coming soon.

Hopefully it will be performed in English. It might be more entertaining if you don't speak the language.

I still don't understand why anyone outside of New York would want to see this abysmal show. I understand some people like it, but I just can't see it doing well anywhere.

...why?

The tour opens in Saint Paul in a little over a week, and for the past month they have been running a dreadful commercial featuring DeGarmo and Moore at least a dozen times a day. Often it'll play half a dozen times within a one hour period. I've come inches from throwing my television off of my balcony.

YankeeFan - had you graduated the 5th grade - you would know the proper spelling of that word you so flippantly threw around was spelled "abysmal"...

I wouldn't even wish this show upon George W. Bush himself.

Say what you say, the tour is selling very well and 3 different companies already bought the rights to do the show around the world.

I wouldn't mind Making George hear that score Over and Over and over!
Without Eden it's gotta be torture!

Uh . . . why are there so many productions opening? I mean the show has a few good songs but the score/story/book were kind of mediocre and not really amazing enough to warrant three more productions.

[Tiny-Toon]

Posted: 6/3/06 at 12:50am

Well, acrocksyo, appearently some people have different opinions on shows (oh no!).

Not many people.

It was a huge flop, Tiny. You claimed up until BROOKLYN's dying day that it was selling well, and that it was a huge hit.

[acrocksyo]

Posted: 6/3/06 at 12:55am

Yeah I am not saying it was bad, I am just saying it wasn't really successful in it's initial run to warrant more productions. It was never selling to capacity, it got terrible reviews, it didn't last very long on Broadway and had zero nominations for awards season. So that makes it a hit? Sorry for my mistake Tiny-Toon

Actually, thats a lie munk.
I never said it was a big hit, it flopped on Broadway (a lot of shows do). Don't try to put words into my mouth.

Tiny-Toon, I don't think you'd remember me, but I met you at the Eden/Euan concert. You're a great guy in my book anyway.

I happen to love Brooklyn and so do a lot of my friends. You guys all have your opinions. Whatever, we all do. I just love how you live to come on to this thread and make negative comments about it. Sure it wasn't a Phantom or anything, but I believe it was the longest-running one of it's season...
