Sing Street?

Is Sing Street ever going to come back to Broadway? Or will it join a unique number of shows that went into a theater but never opened (referring to pre-pandy). Curious if anyone has heard anything after the regional production. It seems it's going to have to cut in line in front of some of these other shows if it does want a theater. Is it coming or is it DOA?

I was wondering the same thing. I had assumed it would reclaim The Lyceum but apparently not. I can recall at least two other shows whose marquees went up but never went into previews--BUSKERS and, in the early 70s, SMITH. Those two didn't have a pandemic to deal with, though.

More recently, Rebecca had their Broadway marquee up and never played a single preview.

I had heard they were interested in the Jacobs but so were a few different shows.

awwww, bummer. I really enjoyed this when I caught in Boston.

bummer - I enjoy the OBCR.

I feel that a London run would help build up momentum for the show again and give the creative team the chance to rework the show again and build up an audience.

I disagree. The show itself is not meant to be a spectacular. It's a group of ragtag kids creating music together. It wasn't perfect by any means, but I enjoyed what I saw downtown. I suspect this show could do well in schools, so they'd want it to be on Broadway to get its name out their for licensing and name recognition. I wish them luck.

Now it’s been announced: Sing Street will be coming to London next summer.

The Boston production was very polished, and I thought Dónal Finn was exceptional as Conor, the older brother.
