Its previously announced pre-Broadway engagement in Chicago has been cancelled due to scheduling difficulties brought about by the recent Actors Equity strike. The new musical will feature a book by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage and a score made up of some of the best-loved, top-selling songs in recording history. Tony Award winner Christopher Wheeldon will direct and choreograph. The producers also announced that the musical's First National Tour will premiere in Chicago. A developmental work session will take place in New York City this fall. |

| I won't hold my breath... that HBO documentary "Leaving Neverland" is going to sour many folks on Michael Jackson. | |

| No, they are afraid of blowback from the HBO documentary. Likely this is a prelude to full cancellation. The film is quite explicit and leaves no room for doubt about the veracity of the accusers. | |

| Why put this out? Adds fuel to the fire. Why not just cancel after March 4? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaving_Neverland |

| Equity's lab strike is a convenient, timely scapegoat. | |

| There is so much wrong with this picture that I don know where to begin. So I won't. Perhaps someone can explain to me why the estate would have been subject to the strike in the first place. ETA: I just saw the Equity press release, which adds to one bewilderment without directly explaining the other (not that it needed to). |

| "No, they are afraid of blowback from the HBO documentary. Likely this is a prelude to full cancellation. The film is quite explicit and leaves no room for doubt about the veracity of the accusers." My thoughts exactly, but of course, we shall see. |

| or do they not make musicals about someone who at one point was victimized? Btw, she has a great song list she made famous and a very interesting life, too, to say the least. It seems folks are going down the list and doing a musical about nearly every top pop/rock act. | |

|
| And you are correct. I found that out at the talk back after "Clueless" which is why they could only get the rights of songs that were one hit wonders. | |

| It seems folks are going down the list and doing a musical about nearly every top pop/rock act. Floyd Mutrux. (Million Dollar Quartet, Baby It's You Exclamation Point, etc.) I seem to remember that he's got lists and lists of potential shows that he'd like to churn out. |

| This could also be called "WHERE THE BOYS ARE". Actually so could the Michael Jackson one... but I don't think they'd go for it. | |

| I'm definitely with you there, PlayWiz ! It's crossed my mind, too. I grew up with her music, am a life-long fan, and still listen to her. I've seen her several times in concert. She was incredibly versatile, but seldom given credit for it. I believe she's living in Florida, working with servicemen, I believe. Can't believe she was 80 in December. Thanks for giving her a nice shout-out ! PS - I kissed her in Coney Island !!! | |

| When Michel LeGrand died, I went to Youtube to hear "I Wll Wait For You," from "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg." Connie Francis' rendition of the song is lovely. | |
