The revival of the musical will open Summer 2006 in the West End - a transfer to Broadway will be in place if successfull.

Do you have any proof of this?

How do you know this? Posting directly from unfounded information on Dress Circle (if that is indeed what you are doing) is not advised.

It has been rumored for a while now, so this doesn't surprise me.

I wonder if they are going to use the original Prince staging. I'd love a Broadway revival (one is LONG overdue), but I'd like a new staging. Spice it up a bit!

I have a friend who works for the Really Useful company (Andrew Lloyd Webbers company)

Trust me - its happening!

When there is a press release, then I'll believe it. I care about this too much to get worked-up over untruths.

I'd redo GOODNIGHT AND THANK YOU. It's a great number, but it deserves a better routine. Something involving 'dirty dancing.' She leaves each man high and dry just before the climax. Innuendos ahoy!

The revival of Evita is a certainty for London, opening in June 2006. They are auditioning in August in London. I have a friend in London who is an actor, and her agent rang her and said it is definitely happening, with rehearsals starting in April and opening in June next year. And it is not the Hal Prince production, it is a new production being directed by Michael Grandage, who has just directed Ewan McGregor in "Guys and Dolls" on the Westend.
