Seeing some rumors coming out that Come From Away might be eyeing a limited engagement Broadway return this Fall to honor the 25th anniversary of September 11. Anyone have any news on this?

There is an outdoor concert production happening in September at the PAC in honor of the 25th anniversary…is this what’s being referenced?

No. Hearing a legit sit-down, fully staged production returning. Unless that outdoor concert turns into the Broadway return?

and now I'm just gagged that 9/11 was 25 years ago. Damn, I'm old.

Honestly wouldn't be a horrible endeavor for them. The show is cheap to run by today's standards and they still have the set and everything in storage if it's to be a remount.

I'm hearing its going to be the highly acclaimed Paper Mill production as a gap filler for a spring show.

Kind of surprising, considering the rights were just released last November so it's being widely produced nationwide.

Is this the Richard J. Hinds directed production (had a run at Paper Mill/ La Mirada, etc)?
I hope it is - would love to see Jeannette Bayardelle and Andrea Burns - i gave up my ticket (Paper mill) due to conflict : /

A while back it was one of the most oft-produced musicals in the States.

I know of four separate community theaters in the NYC area that applied for rights and were denied for their upcoming seasons so I honestly wouldn't be shocked if this is the reason why

That is what is undecided and could factor in whether is returns or not. Nothing bigger than the Schoenfeld.

Best guess based on current bookings/size is the Barrymore. But with current business trends, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Lena Horne or Sondheim could come into play.

The Barrymore is available and is the best size for this, with excellent site lines and acoustics. Perhaps the show 860 with Billy Crystal has the theatre already?

It never should have closed. It was still making money. This was a bad call by the Shubert organization.
I haven't heard anything about this, but it's a great idea

Why did the shuberts want them out?

Agreed. And I'd say the tour only closed so regional theaters could start producing it.
Since it will have been 3 years since the original closed, would this revival be Tony eligible?

It's 3 years but the original production closed October 2, 2022, so this would be eligible regardless.
