Or is Riedel right that Jerry Mitchell and Jack O'Brien are leaving the show?
I just read this new article where Jerry says that the Neil Simon is on the list of theaters that CATCH ME IF YOU CAN is looking at?

I've been hearing a bunch of rumors from a theater change, to them pushing it back to the 2011-12 season.

^In all honesty, moving back isn't such a horrible idea. This season is already too-jam packed with new musicals (Atleast 10), it'd give us something to look forward to... plus the show needs legit work...
Doesn't that just FEEL GOOD to read? A season jampacked with new musicals? Makes me one of those giddy gays.
I emailed the Love Never Dies people to see if I could get anymore info . .
You're expecting an honest answer from the same people who wanted us to believe Webbers cat deleted the score?
Even if it would be the laughing stock of Broadway, I WANT TO SEE IT. Losing the creative team could be a problem though. Also, not having a theater.
I agree. I want to see LND so bad... the spectacle, the stars, etc. I can't imagine they wouldn't do it now that it's premiered in London, but there are still many people who don't know it exist over here so maybe it will just vanish!

The spectacle I'll give you.... but the stars? Sierra Boggess and Ramin Karimloo are stars?

I just don't think that Lloyd Webber's perceived arrogance will allow the necessary changes to be made to this show for it to do well over here, but that same perceived arrogance will likely prevent it from being called off.
Pushing it back and reworking sounds like the best thing for the show to do at this point. I would rather the show undergo changes and be reworked and open for 2011-2012 than it stay the same and open this season. The wait will hopefully be worth it!
And I agree that this season is busy enough. The show would be better off coming in fresh next season where it won't be dwarfed by all of the other new incoming shows.
