Posted: 11/27/06 at 11:58amWhat do you think the chances are of WWRY on Boradway. Did they opt out Broadway for Vegas? Wil it still open up on Broadway?

Posted: 11/27/06 at 12:00pmOh man...I saw it in London. That'd be cool and...disturbing if it came to Broadway.

Posted: 11/27/06 at 12:58pmI doubt it though I am hoping as well....

Posted: 11/27/06 at 3:15pmI can't see it coming to Broadway any time soon. While I am a huge fan of the show (saw it in London & Vegas), I don't think they have plans to bring it here. I think a major dilema is that it's a very elaborate show with what many might call a book that is below Broadway standards. Being a huge classic rock fan as well as theater fan, I ate it up. As much as I am hoping and praying myself for it to come to Bway, I don't see it happening anytime soon, if at all.

Posted: 11/27/06 at 3:47pmI,m also hoping, but doubtful that WWRY will come to NY. Does anyone think that maybe a tour or another production (like Atlantic City, or something of the like) is possible?

Posted: 11/27/06 at 3:47pmIt was a rockin' show. Both Jason Wooten and Tony Vincent were phenomenal.

Posted: 11/27/06 at 5:40pmA Canadian company is opening in Toronto in March 2007. As it stands right now, that is an open run but rumours of a national tour have been floating around.

Posted: 11/27/06 at 5:44pmI would only be interested if Tony Vincent reprises his role. otherwise the show is not that great...

Posted: 11/27/06 at 7:35pmJoey Calveri was phenominal as Galileo in Vegas, I would love to see him do it again.

Originally they did opt out of Broadway for the Vegas production. The producers felt Vegas could house the difficult set better than a broadway theeater. the WWRY Theater is also quite large.
Yes they are opening in Toronto, and still going strong in London. But no there will not be a Broadway Production. So let's hope for a national tour

Posted: 11/28/06 at 2:12pmWE WILL ROCK YOU is an absolute abomination. I don't understand how a single person on this board would endorse and hope for a Broadway production. Good god.

I really wanted to see this when it was in Vegas but I never made it out there.

Posted: 11/28/06 at 4:19pmEven Hot Feet had a better book than this show did.
#16re: We Will Rock You on Broadway
Posted: 11/28/06 at 4:44pmWould travel all the way to New York to see it if it went there! Hope Tony vincent would do the opening night or someone like Alex Jessop or Mig Ayesa.

Posted: 11/28/06 at 5:57pmOk, I am NOT a fan of Jukebox musicals. Of the ones I've seen/heard/read about "Mamma Mia" (It was fluffy fun) and this show are the only two I have EVER liked. In part b/c WWRY makes fun of itself AND the current state of music in society. That and any show featuring the death of Brittney Spears is fun.
