I just read a headline on BroadwayWorld that says the show's cast includes: Adam Arian, Anne Bobby, Jodie Langel, and RON BOHMER?

I JUST saw the show with Jordan Leeds. Did he already leave? That's too bad. I love seeing him as that elderly father in "Hey There Single Guy/Gal". I wonder if Ron can do that obnoxious voice as well.

I don't understand this, then. All the time there are Off-Broadway shows that move to Broadway. Ten years on Off-Broadway? Yes, I realize it's a small show and all, but the music is fantastic, and it has such great reviews -- why not move it to Broadway and garner even more fantastic publicity? It's happy where it is, but would it not be happier on Broadway?

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought at first. I really don't understand it either. It probably is because of how small it is though. I mean there is not set. Like none. They only use like a couple chairs and a table in SOME skits. It really doesn't need anything much bigger. It's just as small as those shows you see Joey from "Friends" in.

It's not necessarily a natural thing for Off-Biradway shows to move to Broadway. Some shows just work better in their original spaces. Ten is years Off-Broadway in not that big of a deal. Just take a look at a show like "The Fantasticks" and its 42 year run.
