For God's sake, please edit down that post!
And thank you, Michael Riedel: you have, for once, used your Super Gossip Powers to put a show on the radar.
I hope this show does well, and doesn't become "just a standard biotuner."

Posted: 8/29/08 at 11:06amI might be the only one who enjoyed his choreography in SA, so I'm excited to see what he does.

Just got a tic for 9/16-
Used a code (that I believe used to be on BWW at one time) that I found via Google---
SOCIAL1- All seats $25 in lieu of $75 reg price

Studio 54 is booked this entire year.
There's no way this could play there this season. Next season maybe, but probably not this year...
Still, I would like to see this hit Broadway.
I don't know that Riedel has a legitimate source here, but I think this will do good things for the show.

I can't wait for this. Will be seeing on 9/13. Very happy to hear it's getting noticed.
I, too, loved his choreography in SA. Thought it was brilliant that it wasn't 'dancey'.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Aaaaaaaggghhh...I'm really happy "Fela!" is getting attention and could very well go as far as Broadway, but this article is just making me sadder that I can no longer see it on my trip. I had a ticket for Sunday 9/14 and then they decided to cancel Sunday evening shows. Oh well.
Here's hoping they become so successful that they tour.
