Yes, and they're hoping to bring as much as this cast as possible to New York.

Someone will have to change the lyrics to "Six Months Out of Every Year." 

I can't remember if there are other Washington Senators lyrics.

Rob McClure is having a very busy summer. First Guys & Dolls in Ogunquit, then DEH at The MUNY, and now this. I'm happy for him.

Didn’t realize this is being done in the round. I’m not optimistic about this one but haven’t seen it in a while so looking forward to seeing a new production. The 90s revival was a hoot.

That's an incredible cast. Is this still eyeing a Broadway transfer for the Spring?

you really think  Incredible? Far from it and what happened as a star was attached? this needs a star if it comes to broadway. this cast is suitable for Arena stage nothing special about it!

It’s a great regional theatre cast.

This will have a tough, possibly impossible, road to Broadway. 

  • Its director is coming off a big financial flop.
  • Its lead producers are novices and having no star will hurt their ability to raise money.
  • A prior revival tried to get off the ground for 15 years — with three different directors — and couldn’t. And the roles aren’t THAT good that stars are immediately drawn to them. 
  • Sunset Blvd didn’t recoup and Gypsy was a financial disaster. That should scare stars and their agents, too.
  • The show is being so dramatically reframed that the consensus very well might be “why not just write a new show.” Meaning the producers would have to start over with a new concept after the Arena run.


Damn Yankees is in the pantheon of good shows, but I don’t know if it has ever been an *amazing* show.

Bull Durham has a better chance of getting to Broadway this spring than Damn Yankees, I can tell you that

They are definitely aiming for Broadway if their Instagram name is anything to go by.

Haley Swindal may be a novice but she’ll have no trouble raising the money.

Bull Durham has a bunch of unknowns in the cast. not even one Bway name. Papermill shows almost always flop on Bway.


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.

Absolute nonsense. Newsies? The Great Gatsby? The two Jeremy Jordan paper mill shows did well on Broadway.  People were blown away by Bull Durham in their last tryout at Duke University in North Carolina which had the same leads.  Direction by Marc Bruni and choreo by Josh Bergasse.  They’re looking to fast track to Broadway in the spring and Best Musical will be down between the two paper mill shows Wanted and Bull Durham, both truly first rate musicals.

there's literally one new musical announced for this season (Queen of Versailles). there's no frontrunner for New Musical at this point.

Crusty Bagel is BroadwayFlash. Again. You’re not going to have a reasonable conversation.

It's very clear who Crusty Bagel used to be. A new member suddenly posting in every thread and being as annoying as BroadwayFlash. This guy keeps trying to recreate his profile but then continues to be an extremely obnoxious poster, just with a different username.

When you have someone who is obviously trolling for a response, please start blocking them rather than engaging with them. If you continue to engage, you are no better than they are.

I think the bigger question is why do you always create a new username and profile all the time? Everyone ends up blocking you so you feel the need to create a new account to try to engage with everyone just to immediately get called out for the same things over and over.
