Cheyenne - great choice and he has a Krakowski connection from the Xanadu workshops.

wonder if this might head to Broadway. Spring 2009??

Posted: 4/10/08 at 4:42pm

Not unless Krakowski's TV show gets canceled.

And if it does, I'm guessing she would want to reprise her Olivier Award winning performance in GUYS & DOLLS before doing Lola in DAMN YANKEES.

Let's wait and see about a transfer. From what I am reading it doesn't even look like a director has been hired yet.

Let's get the show cast, rehearsed, on its feet, in front of an audience and then we can speculate about a move.

Right now I'm happy with the three weeks.

out of curiousity, do these Encores ever have Rush or promo discounts? And how fully staged are they? Or are they just singing like a concert with a bit of staging?

[jaystarr]

Posted: 4/10/08 at 5:58pm

The Summer Encore production of DAMN YANKEES will be staged like a Broadway show..meaning the actors wont be holding books. It will also have scenery, costumes and chreography ...exactly like a Broadway show....its just Encores always have a full-orchestra.
