Has anyone seen this in London? It looks pretty good, and has great music!! I know the promo said that its coming to Broadway in 2015, is it coming in this season? The show seems kinda like Miss Saigon and South Pacific.

It got middling reviews in London but I'm looking forward to seeing it on the big screen next month.

Yes, I too am anxious to see it in movie theaters in a few weeks. I've heard some of the score and was overall unimpressed, but it might be better to actually see it.

I heard there's a bit of nudity in it as well.

Will see it in the cinema as well

Intend getting the cd so no worry or care if the critics trash it as expected.

I actually think it's the best "traditional" Broadway score I've heard in a long time. It's a pretty sound musical, the direction is okay, not bad, but a really great Jack O'Brien type could whip this thing into something especially good. The actors playing the Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr roles are pretty bad however. But the young men playing the Frank Sinatra and especially Monty Cliff roles are very, very good. The homosexuality from the book (some of it actually made it into the film, but nothing terribly deep or positive) is examined in the musical as well. I am very much looking forward to seeing this in the movie house.
