I first saw Megan play Glinda in LA back in 2007. Been a fan of her since

MissJennifer said: "Regarding how much of Harold Gray is left in the show after all these revisions...
With all due respect to these posters and to Gray, the original stage show had wandered far afield from Gray's original strip even in its earliest form. Gray would have spit NAILS if he'd seen a show based on his work that presented FDR and the New Deal in a sympathetic light, and even had a song praising the New Deal...he hated FDR and his New Deal like poison! It seemed every other strip in the thirties and forties had Warbucks slamming both...Warbucks even faked his death for a time while FDR was president but returned after FDR's death because "the climate of the country agrees with me more now." Gray believed strongly in the pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps philosophy and thought the New Deal interfered too much in people's lives and encouraged them to become too soft. So I'm not too bugged about further revisions that wander afield from Gray, since the original show did that in the first place!"
I'm sure none of that matters to Gray's family. Anytime Annie is "drawn out" for something new, they see a little "new deal" of their own

That new promo that was just released is really poorly put together. Looks very cheap.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Quick, send for Bob Fossie and Barbara Streisand to cart me off to gay jail immediately.

Have we received any word on if they're cutting Hooverville or adding in any material from the movie?

I'm not sure how accurate this this, but here is the soundtrack according to IMDb:

Over the years, has the title/lyric changed to “It’s a Hard Knock Life” from the original “It’s the Hard Knock Life”? (Just going off of that list, who knows how accurate it is.)

Missed opportunity not including "Why Should I Change A Thing?" when you have a singer like Harry Connick, Jr. in the picture, assuming the IMDb listing is true.
Also, the "Hard Knock Life" title confusion is funny, considering everyone I've ever heard sing it outside the show context sings "a" instead of "the," but "the" is the word. Having said that, it's difficult to get "the" to pop; even when you sing it right, it sounds like "a." (More interestingly, the script and score say "we got kicked," for example, but I’ve never heard any version actually sung that way. Everyone says "get." It’s more immediate, and I suspect it’s actually a rewrite that happened in rehearsals, and just never made it into the materials.)

It’s a bummer about Andrea, I was looking forward to seeing her, but family definitely comes first. Maybe they’ll call in Aileen Quinn.
