Excited to hear this!!!! Should play great in a smaller theatre as well. Highly recommend this to anyone!

What a fun coincidence! I caught this Sunday in Chicago and thought this would've made a better Off-Broadway show. I am happy to see it will have a longer life.

The article doesn't mention it, but it will be going into Stage 4.

WOW. I wonder how theyll redo the set to fit the space.

I can see it working in Stage 4, it's in a smaller theatre in London, and I've seen shows in Stage 4 with a second level, like Bare. I'd be worried about the lack of wing space for props and such, though.

Will the current cast transfer? Particularly Mark Evans and Mara Davi?

Doubtful. Most of this cast has been there since Sept. 2017. Davi & Cash are the newest members for the cast. They'd also be taking a pay cut going to an off-Broadway salary.
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.

Curious about how this will turn out, considering the guy they chose to direct it.
He was assistant directing The Color Purple tour when I saw it in LA, and it was a disaster -- everyone seemed like they were in a different show from one another, and most laugh lines were missed (which is a particular concern with TPTGW). I only recognize his name because we found it so poorly directed that we took the time to look up the AD in the playbill. And when I saw the same cast at Paper Mill, when he was gone and Doyle back involved, and it was night-and-day better.
Obviously it's possible that the issues weren't due to his direction, but considering most of his experience is stage managing, and that ADs usually take a bigger role on tours, I wouldn't be surprised. Hopefully this turns out OK.
