These rumors or intentions/announcements seem to come with every major production of the show... the Des McAnuff one I mentioned (with David Alan Grier) was supposed to go to Broadway and did not (for good reason), the City Center was, the NBC live one was also. None have happened. I'm not entirely sure why... tourists don't seem to mind a thin or flimsy show especially when it has awesome sets and those great songs. Maybe producers come to realize that they'd need an impressive physical production for this show which is quite expensive, and the cost of the running that is too much to make money for the 3-12 months it would likely run given.
But if they got a good star or a couple to do it... I think it could do very well. |
