OK, is this coming back? I've noticed their Facebook page is sporting a new logo (from 1am this morning). On top of that the map on the FB page points to the Nederlander on 41st Street. The theatre's website just says 'new production to be announced soon'. No hints on Seth Rudetsky's website or Twitter.

Now it looks like they've added "Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the theatre…"

Their twitter bio is "Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the theatre… DISASTER!, a new musical comedy, strikes Broadway this February at the Nederlander Theatre." so it would seem as though they are coming to Broadway!

I cannot imagine this lasting very long, especially without a movie star in the cast. If this survives past the Tonys I will be absolutely shocked, but I'm guessing this is more of a marketing ploy for regional licensing.

May be a tough sell, but I have to admit I love the idea of seeing so many masterful musical theater performers working and put in a show together.

Great Cast. Fingers Crossed.

Amazing Cast! Another example of an Off-Broadway hit that needs to stay off Broadway. I don't get the desire to take every successful thing to Broadway. I wish it all the best, but its really reaching. I can't imagine paying Broadway prices for this.

I doubt you'll have to. This will be discounting like there's no tomorrow (or should that be no morning after?).

Hoping this pulls a Hand to God. Probably won't be wildly successful, but with some solid reviews it could have a decent run and get some Tony consideration. And as everyone has said, love the cast.

Better this "Disaster!" on Broadway versus the 18 million Conga disaster opening on Broadway tonight. At least it brings with it some terrific Broadway pedigree, a clever story, and music that is creatively woven throughout.

Denis Jones isn't choreographing this again? He does fantastic work, he is on a par with Christopher Gattelli and others in my opinion. Maybe he wasn't available during this time frame?

Seems unwise unless they have a major script overhaul. We saw this last year and left at intermission. Tired jokes with stale 70s references had us squirming in our seats. The concept sounded fun but it was really dreadful.

Oh boy...I mean, its great to see all of these great performers back on Broadway, but I don't know if it will last long, but then again, I said the same thing about "First Date" and "Gentleman's Guide".

This entire cast is like Broadway's C-list.
"We can't get get Nathan Lane- let's get Richard Kind!"
"We can't get Richard Kind- let's get Kevin Chamberlin!"
Sure, they're talented, but I can't imagine anyone going out of their way to see this. Maybe the producers are all Hamilton producers looking for a tax break?
