May 28th will be its last performance at the Westside Theatre.
As someone who worked on this show while it was at the York, I cannot speak highly enough of the piece and its cast/creative team. From Creighton to Sabath, everyone was an absolute sweetheart, and watching the show was one of the most entertaining nights I've had at the theatre. Godspeed!!!
I will second that rave. I saw this at the York, and thought it was wonderful and had a uniformly excellent cast and especially great choreography. That said, it seemed suited to a smaller venue, like the Westside because it made the personal parts of the plot more touching. A move to Broadway might have the same effect I felt with the recent FIDDLER revival: too big for its own good.
I wonder if this will take the unannounced show slot at the Ahmanson for next season!! So happy this will come here as I did not get a chance to see it when I was in New York!

OMG that would be beyond amazing....even though I am seeing it in NYC next month I would probably attend multiple times here in LA. Based on what I have heard of this show it sounds like it might play better at the mark taper forum.

That's what I was thinking! It'd probably be a perfect fit there. It also seems like the unannounced show is there for a few months, as the show before that ends late December and the one after starts in May.
It could also go to the Geffen or Pasadena Playhouse in LA. Those seem likely, as does the Kirk Douglas (the other CTG venue). I have a feeling the Ahmanson will get the big LA return of "Sunset Boulevard."

This has Pasadena Playhouse or La Mirada Theater written all over it. Exactly the kind of stuff they like to do. Don't really see it as CTG or Geffen's type of material.
