Posted: 11/20/07 at 3:42pmNot sure, but is it Catch Me If You Can? When was The Addams Family planned for. And 9 to 5?
re: Musicals scheduled for 08-09 season#9
Posted: 11/20/07 at 4:47pmI recall The Addams Family was due for 2009-2010 Broadway birth.

London has just announced its major 2008 revival of West Side Story

Posted: 11/20/07 at 5:09pmI wonder if Trevor Nunn's reduced Porgy & Bess still has a chance to come over.
re: Musicals scheduled for 08-09 season#13
Posted: 11/20/07 at 5:12pmI didn't know it was coming to London again...is it still coming to Broadway too?

Huh? When I said come over, I meant come over TO America FROM London, where it played (and according to last reports, is still planned for sometime next year). It hasn't been here yet at all and I have NO IDEA if its going to London AGAIN.
Also, if Tale of Two Cities doesn't make it in by May, I guess it might possibly be part of next season.

Posted: 11/20/07 at 5:38pmWhen is the Guys and Dolls revival scheduled to open? And whatever happened to the idea of creating The First Wives Club into a musical? And wasn't there a message on here with an article saying that Aladdin was in the works for an 08-09 opening?

Posted: 11/20/07 at 7:45pmI was talking to someone weeks ago he was involved in the Porgy and Bess production in London and they said that plans for a transfer had been scrapped

re: Musicals scheduled for 08-09 season#18

That doesn't surprise me about Porgy. I know it didn't sell particularly well in the West End. That's OK. While it's one of my favorite scores/shows, I am used to seeing it in its full opera house dimensions, with a 50+ piece orchestra and a cast and chorus of over 100. I was frankly a little worried how much the show would lose in such a scaled back form, anyway. Hopefully, the Met will add it back its repertoire sometime soon during one of its upcoming seasons -- it's a truly epic-sized production that gives the brilliant material the treatment that it deserves.

I think the Revival of Merrily We Roll Along is supposed to be in 09-10 season, but I could be wrong.
The Wiz should be on Broadway next year.

Posted: 11/20/07 at 8:08pmNot on Broadway, but Bounce.
re: Musicals scheduled for 08-09 season#22
Posted: 11/20/07 at 8:10pmObviously, I loved that production of Cabaret, but why it's coming back so soon, I'll never know... I thought they were Lort so that they would try new things.
