Has anyone heard anything about the musical Diner? Book by Barry Levinson, Music & Lyrics by Sheryl Crow and directed/choreographed by Kathleen Marshall. Just got my mailer from the SF theatre group and its included in this upcoming season's offering. Not sure if its an out of town try out or a tour...states "new musical"

It's being billed as an out of town tryout.

The Broadway transfer has been announced to be planned for Spring 2013. However, there are a million changes that could happen between now and then (poor reviews, reworking, money issues) that could either delay or cancel the transfer plans. Either way, the plan is to bring it to Broadway at this time.

well I'm going to have to see it here, and then if it makes it to Broadway check it out on a trip out there to compare. Not often I get that chance.
