I wonder if it will cross the pond to North America. I'd love to see a version of the stage production. No one does it anymore.
Come From Away Tour Casting Aug 1

Correct me if I'm wrong, but was it the Come From Away tour casting, had rumours of someone who hadn't been on Broadway in a while, but people loved them, and we were all assuming it would be someone in the Beverly/Jenn Colella role?
I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up seeing a version of this sometime soon. She said on the Today Show that the Tammy Faye musical is by David Yazbek and Henry Krieger. With momentum behind Yazbek for currently having the Tony Award for Best Score, it would happen. Also, I believe Chenoweth has been pushing for this for years. The question is, would this succeed on Broadway, commercially?
I've read a few reviews of the tour of Lincoln Centre's The King and I since it landed in Toronto, and I'm trying to understand the reviews of the show. The reviewers seem to like the production, but keep calling the show "problematic", and I can't help but become a tad frustrated. This isn't a "captive falls in love with capturer".

Matilda in Toronto was always scheduled for a July- early January run. Although, Mirvish has learned with open ended runs like The Producers, and Hairspray; the best thing to do is always announce an earlier closing date, and then open a new block of tickets as need be. Tour groups are always offering trips to shows in Toronto on dates that are after their current closing date, and sure enough a new block goes on sale.
Matilda in Toronto was not what I was expecting from all the
This reminds me of when the Rupert Everett production of "The Judas Kiss" played Toronto for seven weeks before, during, and after Easter...there was a confusion, and people thought nit was a biblical story about Easter, so i remember them giving refunds after church groups found out it was not about Jesus at all.
Dreamgirls is interesting to me, because they have annouced a London closing of January 2019, with a tour to cross the UK. However, all 3 Dreams are played by American actors (there might be 1 Effie that is British...last time I saw, there were 3 actress who played Effie). Could they be getting American's ready for Broadway?
I love Mean Girls, the movie. I would totally see the musical reguardless of what they did last night. But, I will say that all of those posters say that the jokes landed flat, I say to you..."there were jokes in that number?!"
