Interesting (but far from conclusive) blurb about Chicago (possibly) debuting the new "Far From Heaven" musical....

Curious, but Goodman loves to announce all sorts of stuff without it ever coming to fruition. They were supposed to stage a new 1940s swing musical a few years ago and ultimately replaced it with Ain't Misbehavin'. I'd love to see Far From Heaven happen (it couldn't be worse than that horrible Tommy Tune/Irving Berlin thing), but I'm not holding my breath.

And as one commentator points out, he also said we were getting Scottsboro Boys...and there is no sign of that yet either.
