If not...could anyone help me brainstorm?

Posted: 10/28/10 at 2:49pmCarrie didnt come from London, it came from Stratford Upon Avon, just saying, plus it was pretty much an American created musical that got some bad staging here in the UK and got shippedback to Broadway.

"Gothampc, I think Jesus Christ Superstar actually opened on Broadway first."
Oops, I think you're right. It was one of those where they had a concept album first, but I think the first actual staging was in the US.

Love Never Dies definitely should transfer.
It is worthy, and will be even more so after it has been revised.
The score alone makes it better than most of the shows on Broadway at the moment.
