I was curious what happened to this show.

Am I missing something? The linked article does not tell us what happened. And part of it makes no sense. Were the fraudsters sued and did they replenish? Were they arrested? This is terrible reporting, but typical of Forbes' pathetic coverage of the business of theatre.

This sounds like the plot of the episode of The Golden Girls when Sophia and Blanche got swindled by a con artist dressed like a nun in a shopping mall! Plus the article makes no sense whatsoever since it doesn't tell us what happened. I remain EXTREMELY skeptical that this show is "headed to Broadway in the Spring of 2019"!

I caught Bull Durham in Atlanta in 2014, if all of this has given the creative team time to work on the show/score and hopefully do some recasting.. (I like Melissa Errico, but I'd like to see someone brassier as Annie..) This could be a fun addition to the 2018-2019 season.
My Casting Thoughts-
Annie - Carmen Cusack
Crash - Will Swenson or Paul Alexander Nolan
Nuke - Claybourne Elder
Time will tell if this ever gets off the ground..
