Apparently, there was a Telecharge leak with a listing for Flahooley at the Vivian Beaumont. Anyone else hear about this?
I would be genuinely shocked if such an obscure show were being done by LCT. It may have just been a test with a filler title.
This is a title for Encores at best.

Please tell me A Little Night Music is coming next season? Is flahooley going to be in the fall?
This title hasn’t been seen on Broadway since 1951, and I’m curious to see what Diane Paulus will bring to the table… and what her cast will be, if this is true!
Sounds a month late. Today is May 1st not April 1st.
If I recall the "uncensored" book that's been used in revivals, it's an extended satire of the Red Scare with some comical anti-Russian sentiment. Lots of pointed jokes about American mob mentality, etc, which is very pertinent today.
But I'm not sure well the silly genie and Orientalist elements would play today.

Someone at Telecharge/Shubert has a great sense of humor and is f*cking with you, Taff. Glad to see that you took the bait!
Did you know that the word “gullible” is missing in the Oxford Dictionary?
I’d expect to see this at Theatre Row before the Vivian Beaumont.

Or the York.
I’d actually love to see The York do this. I’ve been fascinated by this show for so many years.
I’d much prefer Tina Landau direct this over Diane Paulus.

Could it be one of those one night only benefit events? I saw it when the Harlem Rep did it, but the genie elements were removed. Still, it has a beautiful score. Encores! should have done it in its heyday.
