Saw it back in June and really enjoyed it.  Is it setting its sight on Broadway?

Jack O'Brien actually talked about the idea in a recent interview he did with Playbill.com...

I'd love to see the tour make its way to Broadway. I had the pleasure of seeing it twice in Philly last year and I loved it.

It was definitely the best production of this show I have ever seen, but I'm afraid it's been out on the road for too long. There's no buzz or excitement left whatsoever. Kerstin Anderson is a gem, but she doesn't have the star power to carry the weight of this show on Broadway.

I saw it months ago and was not impressed for the most part. I thought it looked cheap. There were some good performances, but my best memories of the show are of the London Palladium production from a number of years back, which was spectacular. This, not so much.

I can't imagine there's much buzz or need to bring to NYC? Maybe for some special holiday engagement, but seems like the excitement has passed!

I still want to know who wrote the new lyrics for "Something Good." Is it hiding in the playbill somewhere and I just don't see it?

I did not care for it at all.  The last professional TSOM I saw on stage was the Broadway revival and its subsequent tour, which I thought was much better than this production.

Saw it in Tempe AZ a month ago. Loved it. Best production of it hands down that I've seen. Still, don't think it needs to be on Broadway right now.

FYI, Kerstin Anderson is out for the entire week of performances in San Diego. I haven't heard anything about an illness and she's still listed in the playbill but her understudies are printed on the cast page for the nights they are going on so I assume Kerstin is on a scheduled vacation.
