Posted: 9/30/12 at 1:45pmMy heart goes out to the cast and crew of "Rebecca". They don't deserve this. from RC in Austin, TExas
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Posted: 9/30/12 at 1:51pmThis drama is probably more interesting than the show would have been.

Too bad Irra Petina is long gone (bless her soul). There had to be a good role for her somewhere in this circus of an enterprise.

Posted: 9/30/12 at 1:59pmsucks for the cast & crew, but I doubt this would have lasted long anyway.
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.

Note: there is no confirmation of this...just Riedel's speculation and "sources". While I'm not shocked by this, and suppose it is true, we could find out very differently tomorrow.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Posted: 9/30/12 at 2:02pmI didn't have much interest in the show itself, but pretty terrible news for the cast, the crew, and their families. Hoping they all recover quickly.
Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.

Love that Riedel not only can't get the credit right, but doesn't get the name right: "composer Michael Koontz."
Lyricist-Book writer Michael Kunze.

Posted: 9/30/12 at 2:24pmMaybe if they go on the internet tonight, they can get strangers to promise them 10 million on an email? Or is it too late?

Posted: 9/30/12 at 2:25pmMaybe he should start "The People of Rebecca" group.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 9/30/12 at 2:26pmHe also says "the foundering $12 million Broadway musical" and I think he meant floundering.

Posted: 9/30/12 at 2:27pmTo me this is extreemely disappointing since Rebecca was the only new musical coming out this Fall that I was interested in seeing. I guess I will have to wait till Spring to get my musical theater fix. For now, I guess the play is the thing. Oh,well to tied me over theres at least the Annie revival which I already have tickets for and Drood which I will likely see but mostly for Chita.

Posted: 9/30/12 at 2:30pmI'm not surprised it isn't going to open. but technically is not "officially off" based on Reidel.

Posted: 9/30/12 at 2:31pmThat's ok, love. They will announce a national tour soon to make you feel better. Sure,it will never happen, but you will still be ok.

Does this mean I get my refund (in the cash I spent and the gift card I used)? That'd be swell...
SO sad for the cast and crew, though.

Someone consult the history books... Is this the first Broadway show to die from an indirect case of malaria?

ClydeBarrow, google is your friend :)
Foundering means to "fail or break down, typically as a result of a particular problem or setback."

Posted: 9/30/12 at 3:13pmThis saddens me deeply. I was so excited to see this remarkable cast. What a letdown.

Fingers, toes and eyes crossed for the company of Rebecca. Hoping it happens.

Posted: 9/30/12 at 3:30pmIt's horrible for the cast, but I was expecting this since they announced trouble a long time ago.
