Slated to premiere in Atlanta in September, with an eye on Broadway for Spring 2015.

Every new musical has an eye on Broadway.

I have no idea if Bull Durham will be any good, but it could be very good. Esoteric setting (underworld of minor league baseball), interesting and complicated characters, intelligent plot and great characters, sex and muscle. It could be something very good. I hope they get it right.

Perhaps a baseball field will slide into the orchestra section.

and the audience will be invited to slide from base to base in a pool of mud. I hope so.

Well, with 18 players ( nine on each team) it certainly has the potential for more eye-candy than two guys sucker punching.

The movie (although no one knows how close it will stick to it) does not mostly take place on the field. Perhaps they could retitle it "Leave Me Out".

Well, it does have Josh Bergasse on board as choreographer , and I liked his baseball numbers on SMASH.

One thing that will be hard to stage are the very subtle movements and stares that play out in the film on the ball field. I don't envision Damn Yankees-style produtction numbers. It will be interesting to see what they do with it. I love the movie.
