Half Time (Gotta Dance) Opening on Broadway in Spring, 2017

If this is a thread already, please tell me. I've searched for one and found nothing.

Anyway, I wonder why the changed their name...

I remember the thread (paraphrasing) "What Happened to Gotta Dance?", so, here we are.

I was waiting for somebody to post this.  I think the new name makes so much more sense.  "Gotta Dance"  would have gotten lost in the "So you think you can dance", etc chatter and I don't think it would have helped the show.  Plus "Half Time" can have a double meaning - as it's a half time performance and could be thought of as the cast only being "half way" thru their lives.

Where are we predicting this will go?

i was thinking the music box, but it's coming in the spring which makes me wonder if another show has the music box for the fall.

So You Think You Can Dance was chatter in 2007, not 2016 (let alone 2017).
And the older cast members are past "half way" as morbid as that sounds.  Maybe Half Time refers to their dance ability? wink

Yeah, I thought Half Time was a double meaning thing as well.

Did Half Time announce whether they are going into a Shubert house? because Significant Other is either going into the Cort or the Music Box

the producers should really wait until the following season. There's already 13 new musicals opening this season. It's already a crowded field.


A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
