What if Parade sparks interest in a transfer? Will he not travel with the show to Broadway?

I think Parade would do a lot better on Broadway.

You guys are right about Tucci, I updated the OP.

What?????

I don't know anything about LEND ME A TENOR but I don't think we will see PARADE on Broadway this season. First of all, there has yet to be a producer to step forward and want to transfer it (neither the Center Theatre Group or the Donmar are going to pay for a transfer) nor is there a particularly appropriate theatre available for this production.

PARADE would be really very expensive to move. The size of the Taper is so odd, and so unique virtually the entire set would have to be rebuilt completely for another theatre.

I would be surprised if this production came to NYC as a commercial Broadway production. My guess is that in another five years or so a company like the Roundabout might consider doing their own staging of a new revival of it.

I'm sorry, but I saw T.R. in PARADE and he really shouldn't be in any more musicals as the lead.

Hire someone that can sing.
