a lot more than Beaches.

Another show that no one asked for that will immediately flop. Loving the state of Broadway right now, what smarties they are!

Weren't you just bashing me for telling you Titanique and this were coming in? Didn't you suggest I needed therapy?  But now you believe it...Waiting for that apology! lol

Hopefully it’s just a “this season” thing. If we get less and less Bway musicals for years to come, I’d worry. 

Or am I being too optimistic?

You are not. It's one year of less new musicals for many reasons (COVID backlog thinning out, end of tax credit, not a lot of theaters available due to many hit show till running). 

And things are still waaaay better than the early 90s. We've been spoiled the last couple years with the huge number of new musicals. 

They would need to rewrite the whole thing if so. Every iteration of Beaches is worse than the last one.

When I saw this show in Chicago it was truly one of the worst things I had ever seen. Nothing still has topped its terribleness except maybe Rob Lake Magic."

It got significantly worse after. 

It will be interesting to see if they cancel the already announced tour and go for an open run or if this really just is a spring/summer hype up and then sent it on its way. 

Hell. Why don’t we throw Mystic Pizza from Papermill into the mix, since we just seem to be naming recent shows that are aiming for Broadway with no definite timeline.

Failing on broadway is hardly the calling card you want. Why would they be getting a deal on the theater in the prime season?

Does anyone know if Shoshana Bean is still attached to this show?
