Seems pretty set with this Ticketmaster link, even though there hasn't been a press announcement yet.

I love many in this cast, but I'm especially excited to see Lisa Howard back on Broadway.

Spongebob seems to be dead. I can't imagine any other theater they'd be looking at.

A Chorus Line played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013.

I've been told that SpongeBob will take the Palace for a limited run before the renovation begins.

A limited run for SpongeBob actually sounds like a decent idea to me because Nick would be playing the long game. I would have a limited audience on Broadway and at top price (though the production is fantastic), but it will probably be produced en masse afterwards for local and school groups. The legitimizing power of a money-losing Broadway run for a kid-friendly show is a lesson that could be taken from shows like Shrek and Seussical.

That's true. It would do well in licensing. I mean Shrek is still going strong despite being a "flop" on Broadway.

But it just seems an odd choice of theater. It's so dark and gloomy. But maybe that will help with the "under water" appeal.

So the crummy show with Gloria Estefan's music is replaced by a crummy show with Jimmy Buffet's music? No thanks.

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

Considering the successes of this past season, I don't think anyone is wondering this.

Really, I think most people think the last few Broadway musical seasons have been quite good.

Sounds like there are a lot of extremely closed minded anti-Parrotheads out there.Me, I love the theater, but I've always been a Jimmy Buffett fan. At his best, I think he's a fine songwriter. Can the theater crowd give this at least as much of a chance as, say Nine To Five?

"

To be fair, 9 to 5 wasn't a jukebox musical. It falls into the category with Kinky Boots, The Last Ship, and Waitress with scores by popular songwriters and performers. If I'm not mistaken, Margaritaville IS made up of pre-existing material out to an original storyline like Mamma Mia.

^I thought I read on here jimmy buffet was also writing new music for this?

But that doesn't matter, because we're all here. And with all of our differences we have one thing in common. We're all gay.

I can't wait for the scene where someone is asked what they want for lunch and sing "Cheese Burger in Paradise. Heaven on Earth with an onion slice!" Lin Manuel better watch out with that kind of word-play.

I can answer that question.. No, they more than likely haven't.
