What recent regional shows are rumored to be on track to broadway this fall or next spring? Usually we have a bunch of "rumored" transfers being whispered about...
I know obviously BIG FISH, etc... but that was always Bway-aimed.
SENSE AND SENSIBILITY? (though I happened to be in Denver and saw this and don't even get me started on really great material and a fabulous cast being destroyed by a terrible director... I've resisted posting a full review because it's sad to me that these writers don't take the material to another director to save it).

It's probably not the writer's fault. They're just happy to have their work produced.
Do we think Disgraced might transfer to Broadway under LCT since it snagged the Pulitzer?

you're right, i don't FAULT the writers... but I think if it were to move forward, which it deserves to, it needs a different director and the writers would definitely be in a position to request that! It has a C-list (maybe D-list) director/choreographer who has done a tremendous dis-service to the cast and writers with terrible staging, and absolutely no clue about honing the TONE of a piece.

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.
