This production was incredible at Arena. I saw it multiple times. Extremely happy that it's living on.

It's official!! Is this still eyeing the Circle?
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.

Do we think there would be any star-billing attached to this or just a general revival?

They would likely aim to repeat the same experience.

I heard Edward Albee's The Goat or Who is Sylvia? with Pedro Pascal & Sara Paulson was eyeing the circle

I would think that Donica and McClure will be still be attached at a minimum. The team seems to want to stick with Villafane as well, but in my opinion, she is the most replaceable.

If you read the EPA notice, offers are out for the majority of the leads -- I'd assume they're ironing out the details to transfer the cast.

Saw it the final weekend of performances, and I would keep each and every single one of the leads and ensemble. (With the possible exception of Alysha Umphress, who I love normally but underwhelmed me here.) The new book is fantastic and relevant without being preachy, and overall the direction and choreopraphy was a delight.

This was an exceptional production of a very good musical, but it’s gonna need a star to succeed. Donica was excellent in DC, would love to see him come in with the production.

I would be upset if Donica and McClure and Umphress did not transfer. They were all excellent as were the rest of the cast. This was easily my favorite musical revival I saw this year and I'm including "Ragtime", "Cats" and "Chess".

Don’t be an asshole: some of us don’t know what EPA notices are, much less read them when they’re linked to a story. There are so many less rude ways to make your point.

a lot of people loved this but I…did not. I found the book rewrites to be amateurish, alongside most of the lead performances.
And to clarify, this was always planning to restage for a proscenium on Broadway.

I wasn't meaning to be rude or snarky -- merely indicating that there's some evidence that it isn't a completely opening casting. But sure, next time I'll be sure to say "If I could kindly please direct your attention to the EPA notice..."

Why thank you. That would be much more polite. I appreciate your attention to civility moving forward.

Play Esq, dahling -- I think your reading of my original message comes from one of the big issues I have with a lot of written communication -- the lack of tone and inflection. My apologies in advance, but I'm assuming you interpreted the "read" as in the past tense -- giving off the impression that I expect everyone to have read the attached EPA notice to the article. But that wasn't my intention at all -- I meant if one "reads", in the present tense. Just pointing out a hidden detail -- that you rightly point out -- some may miss.

TheatreMonkey, there was nothing wrong or asshole-ish about your original post.
And why is it that those demanding civility so seldom display it themselves?

The poster did nothing wrong. In fact you are the only one here with a bad attitude.
