Shows for the 2005-2006 Season (Bye Bye Birdie, Jersey Boys, Princesses)

Well, I just got the Telecharge.com Broadway Spotlight E-mail, and at the bottom it read:

ALSO COMING SOON...

BYE BYE BIRDIE - The 1961 Tony®-winning Best Musical is coming to Broadway later this year in a rockin' and rollin' new revival.

JERSEY BOYS - This new musical is based on the life story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and features the hit songs "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," and "Oh What a Night."

PRINCESSES - This new musical takes place at a very exclusive private girls' school in Manhattan, where the hip teenagers have no interest in putting on a show until America's hottest action star is hired to direct the school musical.

BBB! YAY!

I really hope we get some news on the Birdie Revival!

With some revision and some updating, this Revival can blow away All Shook Up & Good Vibrations.

Does nobody do anything ORIGINAL anymore?!? god forbid....

Hey. BBB has NEVER been revived on Broadway. It deserves to come back! Plus, it was an extremely groundbreaking Musical for the early 60's. It started the "Rock & Roll" Musical Theme.

It's a GREAT thing.

Friends who've seen Jersey Boys in La Jolla say only good things about it. Especially the guy who plays Frankie Valli - can't recall his name.

it was supposed to come back. It was going to be the Kennedy Centers first stop before broadway but, they brought the production to City Center and that killed it. Also, I think the Weisslers now hold the rights.

Another production of BYE BYE BIRDIE... just what we all needed... oh, and PETER PAN to cap it all off .. fabulous... with that "delightful" Cathy Rigby..

Note: This post contained numerous uses of sarcasim. We do not need another proudction of BIRDIE and PETER PAN is bad. Cathy Rigby ruins whatever she's in (i.e. Seussical)

"Cathy Rigby ruins whatever she's in (i.e. Seussical)"

EXCUSE ME??? Cathy SAVED Seussical! Her National Tour DRAMATICALLY improved the show!!! How could you say she RUINED it??

As for PETER PAN, yes, I know, everyone is sick of revivals. Just be satisfied that this is the last one. Her Farewell. The show probably won't be back for decades.

Go see PETER PAN one last time, you won't be seeing it for a LONG LONG time.

Firstly, BBB is one of the most OVERDONE shows in the history of musical thetare this being regional and amateur productions. I don't want to see another production.. period.

In response to this:

-Okay... CATHY didn't save that tour.. the creators did.. they improved it but she still brought it down. Second, I don't care about a Peter Pan revival and I won't miss it.

If BBB does come back. It will go through some major revisions. It won't be the same overdone show you see at the local High School & Community Theater. It will be nice to a full Professional Production.


I hope they include the new songs from the 95 Movie Remake

-Let's Settle Down
-Bye Bye Birdie (Ursula & girls in Soda Shop)
-What Did I Ever See in Her?
-A Mother Doesn't Matter Anymore
-A Giant Step

aces - that's fine, she did nothing. My point is she didn't ruin anything, as you first claimed.

And so what? She produces PETER PAN with her husband? She has for over a decade. It shows she has faith and dedication in a show - something that producers not always have. She believes in it 100%.
