Cannot wait!

Team Menken Spring '11, apparently! I approve.

If the show is ready and a theatre available, hopefully we'll have 2 Menken tuners on Bway next season (Leap of Faith). And we get a movie score this November too: Disney's Tangled.
Menken-mania!

I believe Leap of Faith has or is very close to having a theatre.

Here's to hoping that they push out American Idiot.

I hope it has some revisions in the works. What I saw in London was slightly above mediocre. A few funny moments, half a good score (all the songs for the men need to be replaced), unnecessarily huge sets, and a lazy, lopsided book. And if you're going to definitely set the action in the late 70s, you really need to remove some of the 80s references and orchestrations.

I thought they want the Marquis or the Al Hirschfeld.

If they're keeping the same set, it wouldn't fit in the Hirschfeld (and would be a tight squeeze for the St. James).

The St. James Theatre will definitely be open by 2011 as will the Marquis. I think the show is too big for the Al Hirschfeld Theatre. The Broadway Theatre could be open in 2011 depending on how Promises, Promises does when Chenoweth leaves.

It might be for the best. The giant cheese wheel really isn't needed.

I'd love Patina to do the show but I'd also love to see Jackie Hoffman as Lazarus and Daniel Breaker as Eddie.

"What's to stop this going into The Palace?"

I was wondering that myself. The Palace will be open by then and its location is right in the middle of Times Square. I would think they would want the Palace most.

Zaks did a terrific job with the 1987 revival of "Anything Goes" and the 1992 revival of "Guys & Dolls," but he has not lived up to those shows with his latest work.

Yes, this change of director doesn't seem to have caused much of a stir. If you cast your mind back to rehearsals of Sister Act, rumour was that Anthony van Laast was doing most of the work. Looks like a quiet coup has happened at the top of this production.
Zaks didn't exactly turn Addams Family around. Like Mr Abbott, he may be in slow decline in his later years.
