Given that several houses have been vacated and several new shows have found "homes" for the coming season, I'm guessing it wasn't a lack of a Broadway theater that postponed TUCK? 
Does anyone know what the scoop is? It seems very odd. The official Twitter account hasn't said ANYTHING since the postponement was announced. The various videos of songs from the show were quickly yanked from online following the announcement. (Particularly sad because what I heard from the show was FANTASTIC.) This seems like it had so much potential and then not a word. Funding fell through? Poor material? Creative team differences?
Anybody got some insight?

Posted: 8/20/13 at 3:32pmWell, we don't know how many theatres were already committed privately-but-unannounced when TUCK was looking to book for their intended arrival, and unless I'm mistaken every house except the Marquis is publicly booked at the moment so it's possible they legitimately were unable to find a theatre. But I have heard nothing about the show or it's plans so I can't speak anything but idle speculation.
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

Posted: 8/20/13 at 3:46pm"lack of theater availability in New York" translates to 'We didn't get all of the funding we needed.'

Posted: 12/23/13 at 3:57amWont this end up like Big Fish? A movie that nobody saw, that should most likely never been turned in to a musical!
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Posted: 12/23/13 at 6:14amActually, a friend of mine was cast in the Broadway mounting of Tuck. It wasn't because they couldn't get ANY theater space, it was because the production team wanted a SPECIFIC house and couldn't get it. Last I heard, the cast was all released from their contracts and the show was put on hold until that specific house became available.
