So whatever happened to GOTTA DANCE...

[markypoo]

since I saw it in Chicago close to a year ago now?

Has it been decided that it just doesn't necessarily gotta after all?

More like 6 months. I don't think they ever intended to come in the 2015-2016 season. I could see it taking the Al Hirschfeld

I saw this in Chicago in Dec 2015 so more like 6 months ago

Lack of available theaters?? Maybe they're reworking it with the hope of a Spring 2017 opening?

rumor is all Broadway hopes for this has been shuttled.

Not sure if this means anything, but it now appears on Telecharge.

The producers are waiting for a theater for next spring, so I've heard.  But so are a lot of shows so who knows. 

Also, I've seen on several threads (including this one) that it could take the Al Hirschfeld.  Is Kinky Boots closing??

Oh, please, please don't let this show come to Broadway. 

It was a MESS of a show. The acting did not work well together and story was bland and predictable. The only highlight was the 10 minute dance number at the end, but by then I was dozing off because of the two hours the audience and I endured beforehand. 

Stick to the documentary.

Unless KINKY BOOTS gets a name for the winter, it should close by New Year's.

September... Music Box

I saw it the afternoon of New Year's Eve in Chi -- the audience LOVED the show big time, and I thought it was a hoot, too. I went specifically because I loved "The Drowsy Chaperone" and found that this show (Robert Martin co-wrote, also co-wrote Drowsy) has a similar sense of whimsy.  It's just fun -- Georgia Engel is adorable and really IS the star, but the whole ensemble is terrific.  Sorry that at least one person hated this show, but believe me, at the performance I attended the audience had a ball.  It was a perfect way to celebrate the new year.

I saw an interview where one of the producers said it is still coming, but under a different name than "Gotta Dance." However, she couldn't mention the new name yet (which had me confused).  So, does anyone know what the new name is now?

(And the interview I'm talking about can be found here: https://jesseshollywoodrampage.wordpress.com/ - "Gotta Dance" is mentioned at about 1:30 in on the "Lights of Broadway Showcards 2 video)

I am unsure Georgia Engel can continue with the show . . . for those of us that saw it, without her - I am unsure what is left in the show.

I hope that are working on a major overhaul if they're still aiming for Broadway.  I completely forgot I had seen it, much less recall any of the music.  It was cute, but average.  Nothing remarkable or memorable.  What I do remember was that it was heavily discounted from the start and playing to half empty houses.

This despite the encouraging reviews.  Interesting.
