According to librettist Bob Martin ("The Drowsy Chaperone") Minsky's, a new musical comedy, may premiere on Broadway in 2011, with Casey Nicholaw ('The Drowsy Chaperone,' 'Monty Python’s Spamalot') expected to direct and choreograph.

Looks like it is coming after all? The section on the article site is called "Broadway Rumour News Report"... Would they do another try-out? It's been a while since they did the full production in California.

Posted: 7/23/10 at 6:28amHasn't this been "aiming" for B'way since its inception? Most of what I've HEARD has been less than favorable.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Posted: 7/23/10 at 9:24amAn interesting movie, with a good writing/production team - this I would like to see, despite the nasty comments about the Western production.

may premiere on Broadway in 2011....
That doesn't sound very promising. I do like the film...It's aired on TCM a number of times and it's always made me laugh.

Posted: 7/23/10 at 11:00amThe production in L.A. last year bore very little resemblance to the film. It was a meet/cute standard B'way musical story with a terrific performance from Christopher Fitzgerald, and Beth Leavel making magic out of nothing.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)
