Definitely going into the Simon. Groups agents were given the information today and Hal Luftig (producer) said so himself.

The Simon seems perfect for this show

Any rumours on casting? I'm assuming Tveit is still the lead, but who is playing the Tom Hanks and Christopher Walken roles? Are Norbert Leo Butz and Tom Wopat still attached? And what about Kerry Butler? She hinted in her Playbill.com interview that she'll be in it, but I imagine it would have to be in another role at this point. She simply cannot play teenagers anymore!

I'm sure Tom Wopat and Kerry Butler will be continuing on to Broadway. Butler may be pushing 40 but she can still pass for mid-20's which is good enough to play a teenager on Broadway.

Norbert Leo Butz seems likely to continue, but that may depend on what happens with his TV show.

"One doesn't need to close to mound another production."

IMO that's exactly how you'd move In The Heights: scoop it up and mound it in a new location.

MYBIGSPASH: I thought your "source" said that Catch me if you can "secured the Richard Rodgers?" It is going into the Neil Simon like I thought. I guess your source didn't tell you the truth???

MyBigSplash's source wasn't necessarily wrong, just not up to date...

I had never heard of the Richard Rogers even being in the running.

It apparently was for a while, actually. It ended up being too small.
