Has anyone seen the London production with Hodge? How good of a chance does the show have to run at least a year?

The London production was fantastic and Hodge was amazing in it. It had a very healthy run in London.
Sadly, none of the above points guarantee a good run in New York.

Hodge is sublime, and by far the best Zaza i've seen. However i agree that does all depend on how an american audience take to him

He was amazing, and this production was amazing, by far the best thing I saw in 2009, and probably one of the best things I have EVER seen in a theatre!
But, obviously, the British look for different things in a show than the general American audience from my experience!

And seeing how the LAST revival of La Cage didn't do a lot to put this in high demand...I'm thinking a year could be unrealistic.
With all the other shows coming out, I'm not even sure I'll have room on my dance card for this one: despite the wonderful reviews for Hodge.

The 2004 La Cage started off strong at the box office (in 2004 numbers) and then fell off a cliff after 12 weeks. What that indicates is that it had a strong advance sale, meaning people were interested in the title, but that word of mouth in the production was not good or sufficient enough for the show to build on its sales.
I've talked about the London production here before, so I won't go into great detail. It plays very well though and creates a wonderful, electric mood in the theatre. I think it will be better reviewed than the last production (Brantley has already blessed it) and hope New York audiences have as much fun with it as the audience I saw it with in London did.

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

I had so much fun watching that show, and I hope my fellow Yanks agree.

Just because the 2005 show closed quickly - dosen't mean this show will. The 2005 production failed. The show your getting - so far hasn't failed. I think a year isn't unrealistic, providing they keep up good casting and keep the production fresh and new.
As Smaxie said - the 2005 got a good advance but when it opened - it proved the production wasn't right.

I didn't see Hodge, but the London production is the best production of the show I've seen yet. I was never a big fan of La Cage until this production.
