My thoughts, exactly!

Oh good, now audiences will FINALLY be able to see a musical that covers this era and style of music!
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

Wasn't this one of the theaters Into the Woods was supposedly eyeing? Now it's gone. The Hirschfeld is booked. I guess their rumored transfer really might be dead.

Let's be fair, I'm sure it's still being written. It might be good. Who knows.

Not necessarily looking forward to this but great for Valisia LeKae stepping out of swinging/ensemble roles and playing a lead. Saw her in BoM and she was great.

Rumors of a WOODS transfer died a while ago.

While I do probably think a WOODS transfer is dead. Let's not forget that the FOLLIES transfer announcement literally came out of NO WHERE.

ljay, that's not really true. The FOLLIES transfer was something that was sort of planned on since day 1.

I have a friend who did one of the (I assume) many workshops of this in the spring, I think it was. It may have been the fall. Regardless, it's actually supposed to be quite good.

Yeah, but once the tepid reviews came out, I remember myself and many others being surprised at the transfer announcement. Obviously with Bernadette's attachment, a transfer was always a possibility.

On the show's website, at the bottom of the page, there is a Shubert Org. logo next to the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre name. WTF. lol

This is a candidate for a show that I will hate without having to see it.

Since when is there a hyphen there?
I worry about: "Book by Berry Gordon"
I mean the guy can produce records but write a Broadway Musical?
Makes me nervous.

I'm more worried about what's going to happen when BARE flops. I think a lot of kids are going to split their wrists and kill themselves.

This is going to be next years 'Ghost', next years 'Leap of Faith' has already been taken by 'Cinderella', the show seems to be a complete borefest, remember to take your diazepam.

I guess with the passing of Memphis, some on the board need a new target to dog pile upon.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Looks like they've changed it to the Nederlander logo now. I just don't understand how that mistake can be made, lol.
