I hope they can reassemble as much of the City Center cast as possible. As great as LuPone was, it was the entire cast that made that production so memorable.

YAY. This sucks a bit for SUNDAY though, revival wise. Because GYPSY will still be playing during Tony time, and it's very unlikely SUNDAY will renew through June.
Could this be Patti's 2nd Tony?

I hope it does well. I kinda have my doubts, based on the previous attendance.

You have to consider that City Center has at least 600 more seats than the St. James so the attendance figures would appear skewed.

I need an official announcement... like... yesterday.
Now what would you say if today I started over?

so i'm pretty much excited if this is true, but I find it hard to believe they are reviving a show that just was like 4 years ago..

That has happened -- A Moon for the Misbegotten was revived this year, despite last playing on Broadway seven years ago.

Jay*, open slot or no open slot, I doubt that the present Grease revival will be nominated.

And Laura Benanti will win a Tony.
And Boyd Gaines will add another Tony to his mantle.
And LuPone, well...that's debatable.

I think LuPone will have a god chance, but she will have competition (namely, from Jenna Russel in Sunday).
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

If so.. How many months would they perform here on Broadway before going to London? 4-5 months? - would that be enough time to recoup all the investments...
I would love to see Patti LuPone though. I miss her at City Encores last Summer..
Actually I like anything GYPSY ! I just wish they revive something that's never been done for like years and years ..like The Apple Tree & 110 in The Shade from last year.

Exactly! just speculation- again. I can never understand why people start threads that have no foundation. This has come from another chat room. Come on guys!

1. ATC is a message board, not a chat room.
2. ATC rumors tend to carry a lot more weight than rumors on this board.

Its still a bit of a joke to people who work in the business to see these stories and the way people get all worked up. I know what ATC is , its just the same as this board!

I've been pondering that as well.
