It’ll be gone by Christmas 2024.

Lorna Courtney as Janet?

Idk. That was the first name that came to me. 

Anyone else?

Still happening, so I hear. "

Yep. Summer 2025. Likely a 6 month run."

Would this be a replica of the Bennett production overseen by Baayork Lee and John Breglio, or a truly new take on the material?

This ACL stuff probably belongs on a separate thread, but in answer to your question, Sonia Friedman is involved as a producer, so I would imagine she would want something new. Of course, Breglio had insisted on replica productions in the past, so it’s anyone’s guess what this revival will look like.

Did we see the same show? Hunter's version was one of the worst things I ever saw. I didn't know Rocky could be so unsexy or unfunny. There is more to the show than just making fisting and jerk-off motions and wearing Amazon costumes.

Yes. No humor at all in the Hunter production. The costumes were awful. Rocky’s wig was Party City. When Brad and Janet ran into the Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters during “There’s a Light,” it lost me. I saw Kevin Cahoon as Frank, and he alone was an isolated bright spot.
