That reminds me: Whatever happened to ''13 Days to Broadway''?

That was a Cy Coleman-Barbara Frye show about a musical that was having trouble on the road to Broadway. It had a book by Bruce Vilanch, who took over from Russell Baker, and was based on Coleman's ''Home Again, Home Again,'' which closed in Toronto. It gave birth to a beautiful song called ''You There in the Back Row,'' which Liz Callaway recorded for her ''The Story Goes On'' CD. It was also performed on the 1985 Tonys as part of a tribute to Coleman and announced as coming to Broadway. I found a Playbill story from 1988 that said Whoopi Goldberg was coming aboard to be part of the project, along with Robin Wagner. Coleman died in 2004, and I'm assuming so did this show. Anyone else know anything more about ''13 Days''?
