I don't know how long the website has been up, but I just wanted to share it in case people were wondering.
Links to their Facebook and Twitter are also on the page.
Here are an "About" section and "Song List" from the website...
So, this is considered a new musical, eligible for "Best Musical", correct? I had originally thought it was a revival.

Posted: 1/2/12 at 5:50pmI highly doubt it would be considered a revival.

Posted: 1/2/12 at 5:51pmI had personally thought of it as a revival for some reason. Then I was noticing the production details and the "A New Musical Comedy" and the "Inspired by Material..." stuff in their publicity.

Posted: 1/2/12 at 5:53pmIt's basically a Gershwin "jukebox" musical with a new book. It should be eligible for best musical, but not score since the songs are from other shows. Updated On: 1/2/12 at 05:53 PM

Posted: 1/2/12 at 6:06pmThis just remind me of Crazy For You.

Posted: 1/2/12 at 6:21pm...Yeah, I'm a bit perplexed what this show will do that Crazy for You didn't.

Posted: 1/2/12 at 6:45pmCRAZY FOR YOU was essentially a rework of an existing Gershwin show (IIRC, it was formerly called GIRL CRAZY). This is an all-new libretto.

It's not really all-new. Like Crazy for You and My One and Only, it's another re-working of an old Gershwin musical (in this case, Oh, Kay!).
Here's the Times review from the 2001 Goodspeed production, when it was called They All Laughed: http://www.nytimes.com/2001/08/12/nyregion/theater-a-not-so-new-gershwin-musical.html

Wow. I never saw that. Thanks for the heads up.
Looks like they jettisoned about half of OH KAY's score. Pity, because it's one of his best.
