Posted: 4/11/07 at 7:10pmLeslie Kritzer told me very recently that Vanities is going to open next season. Megan Hilty said it will almost certainly be Off-Broadway. Updated On: 4/11/07 at 07:10 PM

Posted: 4/11/07 at 7:15pmhiltyfied, are you sure she said on Broadway? Megan Hilty and Sarah Stiles (as well as the creative team) have been alluding to it going Off-Broadway in the spring of next year.

Posted: 4/11/07 at 7:21pmScary, but almost every new musical entry was followed by "New musical based on the film of the same name."

Posted: 4/11/07 at 7:26pmthis made me think of a question that has been bugging me for a while. Is the Cry-baby musical still a no go? I saw some little interview with John Waters in entertainment weekly not too long ago saying that he was prepping the show for broadway, so I was wondering if anybody has heard any new news?

Posted: 4/11/07 at 8:00pmThere have been rumors of a Dreamgirls revival. I'm not sure about 2008, though.

Posted: 4/11/07 at 8:01pmDid I hear correctly that they were attempting Shrek?? Sounds like disaster to me...how's that gonna work?

Yeah i think Shrek is slotted to open in 2008... yeeahh, still don't really "get" this one, but whatever.
Good to hear that Cry-baby might still happen.

Posted: 4/11/07 at 8:18pmBut would Megan Hilty do Vanities if it goes off-Broadway or Broadway? Isn't the musical adaption of Nine to Five supposed to debut either in the fall 2007 or spring 2008, or am i way off?

Somethingwicked that's a good question. I heard Off-Broadway and that definitely seems like the appropriate place for the play. Leslie Kritzer did say Broadway, but she probably meant Off.
Tazber, it's a revival. Megan Hilty, Leslie Kritzer, and Sarah Stiles starred in its production in Palo Alto.
I don't know what the deal with Nine to Five is, but I've heard that the article exaggerated Megan's role. She was definitely asked to do a reading of it, but nothing more.

Cry-Baby recently had auditions, or an open call rather, so I'm assuming it's still a go. Vanities has such a great score and all three ladies were marvelous in the show; I'd definitley love to see this off-Broadway, it's way too small for a Broadway house. Then again, look what happened to Spring Awakening...ya never know.

Posted: 4/11/07 at 8:49pmYeah I agree. I think the power of the play would be totally lost in a big theatre. Does anybody know anything about Jerry Christmas?

Posted: 4/11/07 at 10:16pmWhen was this open call? Man, why do I always miss these things?

Posted: 4/11/07 at 10:18pmim sure with all the Dreamgirls momentum that there will be revival-maybe not in 08 but there will be on.
