So if Mame goes to Broadway, what else is being revived? We'll have this, Les Miz, and A Chorus Line all vying for a Tony next year, then? Wow. Heavy competition already!

Since my friend in the show hasn't heard anything I presume the info about them passing is true. Sad really.
There is so much talent in that show and behind the show as well. However, the cost is a major factor. If they could do away with the staircase I think they could have saved a lot of money, but the design is such that it is an integral part of the production.
I'm glad I was able to see the show in DC. If you haven't seen it yet, do so. It's worth the trip down south.

Not that it really has anything to do with MAME, but I'd much prefer the Weisslers and Nederlanders focusing their money and time on new musicals like SPRING AWAKENING than revivals.

Mame is old news. Spring Awakening is the new subject of the week.

So it seems

That's too bad. I'd rather have "Mame" any day than a "new" show like "Good Vibrations", "Ring of Fire", "Lestat", "All Shook Up", etc, etc, etc.

But would you rather have MAME than DROWSY CHAPERONE, LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA, or AVENUE Q? If it's a choice between say SPRING AWAKENINGS and MAME, and I don't know that it is, SPRING is an original musical with a new score, so the analogy to most of the shows you mention isn't really relavent...

I'm hoping for either show

I don't know that SPRING AWAKENING would fare well on Broadway, even if it did end up at the Helen Hayes or something.

I would prefer a new musical to MAME - especially a mediocre revival of MAME.

Let's wait a few more years until a really strong production comes around. If this revival were really that amazing, it would open in New York without question.

Here's hoping that MAME will still come to Broadway! It would be wonderful to see it this Summer or Fall!


MAME May Appear on Broadway

If they do decide to transfer, what about Harriet Harris and her recurring role on "Desperate Housewives"?

Chantic, that link provides no new information, is 6 days old, and is from a blog.

"If they do decide to transfer, what about Harriet Harris and her recurring role on "Desperate Housewives"? "

Then good old Paul or Zach Young might have to do another death-by-blender... :)

Anyone have any news on MAME today? I can't find anything anywhere.

[munkustrap178]

Posted: 6/23/06 at 11:54am

NO.

When it's announced, it will be posted here shortly after. Don't worry. The news isn't hidden away somewhere on some random news site. Nothing has been said about it yet.

"Anyone have any news on MAME today? I can't find anything anywhere."

The "Lestat" CD has the same issue.

I hope whatever shows people do are good shows. Also, any news on the Mame transfer yet?

[BwayStar]

"If they do decide to transfer, what about Harriet Harris and her recurring role on "Desperate Housewives"? "

In a recent interview she said that she doesn't knows if her character comes back for the new season.
