Im hearing they are waiting to make the announcement now after the Blithe Spirit tour is done next month out of consideration for that production.

Ah, that actually makes sense. There seemed to be a certain understanding - whether accurate or not - that at the Blithe Spirit tour we could be witnessing Angela Lansbury's last major stage performance. Looking forward to an announcement April'ish, then!

Totally agree, borstal boy. Have always loved the film, especially Deborah Kerr and Edith Evans, and have always wanted to see this on stage. Did someone say Judy Davis? Wow, wouldn't that be amazing!

I actually read somewhere that she said Blithe Spirit would be her last tour....of course that info could have been inaccurate. I'd love to see her again so this is wonderful if true.

This would be a Broadway engagement not a tour

Just saw her in Blithe Spirit a few weeks ago. She is simply superb! And at age 89, wow, she is like the engergizer bunny!

"Another piece of info I picked up tonight, that revival of The Chalk Garden with Angela Lansbury will be happening in the fall for a 16 week limited engagement, they are just signing the contracts this week and an official announcement should be made soon. Really exciting, and at 89 to just keep going, points to Ms Lansbury. "

 Is this still happening?

This is so spooky, as I just came to ask the same thing.

Any updates on the revival? Is it still happening this fall?

If yes, will it be Broadway or West End? Because immediately after winning an Olivier, Dame Angela was ask will she be returning to the West End and she said ‘’yes’’.

I was planning on seeing it, but need to make my vacation plans soon, so any piece of information will be much appreciated.

Hey, LightsOut90, what's the word?

^ "Grease" (that you heard)...

 I really hope the production happens this fall, so Dame Angela might spend her 90th birthday onstage. How awesome would it be to attend that night?
