The Bodyguard musical is making it's American debut starting November 25th and ending January 1st. Could the production transfer if it is well received ?? Seems like Papermill musicals are easy transfers to Broadway. I'd love to see it.
Papermill's plan is to tour the show for about a year to 18 months, then transfer it to Broadway. So maybe Spring 2018?
A Chorus Line revival 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. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
The tour itinerary is roughly 18 months. The plan is to then go to Broadway with it, but that was also the plan with "Flashdance." Nothing is guaranteed.
I read rumours and innuendo that Heather Headley's contract to originate the role in the West End contained some clause requiring the producers to have her star in any Broadway production, if presented within some period of time. From there - the rumours were that the producers did not want to have Headley and so any Broadway transfer had to be put on hold. I have no independent knowledge of truth of these rumours.
