Saw this on Jason Robert Brown's twitter account a few days ago:

Yes! Soon! RT @evanvocalist: Now that L5Y has a much bigger following, do you think it'll ever make another try at hitting B'way?

He tends to be sarcastic in his tweets, so who really knows.

Jealous? I ain't jealous. I can take on these fellas whateva.

I would much prefer to see this go back Off-Broadway. It's such an intimate show, I think it would be lost in a 1,000+ seat theatre.

I hope so. But I have to agree with with Nettik with the whole 1000+ seat deal

Maybe Patti and Mandy could do this instead.

This should run on a rotating cast basis:

Patti and Mandy
Audra and Will
Marin and Jason
Idina and Taye
Norbert and Michelle
Laura and Steve
Mary and Jackie
Hunter and Jeff

I smell a hit.

Mandy would sing Cathy's part, right?

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

What happened to the film version of this show that Jason Robert Brown announced was in pre-production?
ASK JRB: HOLIDAY 2010 EDITION

Musical Cyberspace: a tribute to the musicals of Broadway and beyond.

Mandy could just do the whole show on his own.

JRB is enjoying this thread, you know. (Except the mention of the film.)

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

JRB would most enjoy sitting at the piano and doing the entire show by himself. The man has no shortage of ego.

Where can I invest in the Mary Testa/Jackie Hoffman version?

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Odd, since composers are a famously humble bunch...

I thought the same, that it might be him being sarcastic, as he is known for that. But I don't see it as being completely out of the question. It DOES have a much bigger following now than before, but I can't see it working on Broadway, unless it were to play Circle in the Square or possibly even the Booth. But we shall see. I was also wondering whatever happened to the film version...

It can also take the Foxwoods when Spider-Man closes!

Well, you know, with its HUGE following it probably would benefit from having two productions running at once.

You have to apply by mail six months in ahead of the date you want to go.

Rear mezzanine only.

On their website it says they are going to sell standing room tickets day of show after the 4th number in the show and only if the show is sold out.
