I love confirmed news. Love it!

Perhaps it's true, but we should believe you, why?

Link?

Sorry, in my world, nothing is official in theater news until it's on Playbill.com...

I don't blame you for being skeptical
Let's wait and see.
it's just what I heard
and I am merely a Curtain Puller

Are you really? Wow...that's like being the George Jetson of the theater world (ya know, all he did was push the red button in the morning and that was his entire job...)

i dont know if playbill.com is up todate but they have previews listed as Spring 2006, so ASU has a while yet



FYI some confusion might be because Elton's "Billy Elliot - The Musical" in England is at the Victoria Palace Theatre

Yeah, I seriously wouldn't be surprised if there was some mis-read information here. I'm not saying it's NOT true, but like everyone else said, until it's posted on Playbill.com or something similar... I'll wait to get excited.

Mmmm, I heard rumors that All Shook Up was closing, so I'm not totally surprised. But we'll wait until Playbill's got it.

i havent heard anything about ASU closing any time soon

hopefully it doesnt happen, because ASU is my obsession now :)

All Shook Up isn't doing that badly right now, so I doubt they're thinking of closing it just yet.

Yes it would be to soon...

Plus I heard Lestat was headed to the Belasco.

Can't imagine they would go to the Belasco, home of Dracula

LONE STAR has the Belasco if they can get thier $

I think the Belasco would be a bad place to have another pop musical about vampires, don't you think? Karma can really hurt.

I f&(king love when people do the..

HAHA I KNOW SECRET INFO THAT HASN'T BEEN CONFIRMED YET, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TELL WHERE I HEARD THIS FROM. JUST WAIT AND SEE. HAHA I FEEL SPECIAL I KNEW THIS BEFORE EVERYONE.

When are they going to announce a cast?!? I heard rumors of Hugh Panaro... I wish Lestat and Tarzan would just announce already!

[ljay889]

Posted: 8/16/05 at 3:15pm

Oh and I believe I read this show will NOT have a rock/pop score. It's going to more operatic. I BELIEVE I read that.

[WonderBoy]

Posted: 8/16/05 at 3:20pm

I'm sorry but there is no way that I could ever beleive Hugh Panaro as Lestat! Other than the fact he has that whole flamboyant thing down pat why choose him? Argh!

i think it was alreaday confirmed that Hugh is going to play lestat, i think thats what his fan website said...and Carolee Carmello is leaving Mamma Mia in October, so thats defianately a sign. According to the casting announcement, it said something along the lines of "come prepared with a song a la schoenberg/boubil, schwartz, yeston. The score is a contemporary broadway piece" something like that
