I just found out this is ACTUALLY happening? Is anyone planning to see this? Is this going to be another Home for the Holidays?

HELLO PEOPLE! :D

All I know, is that I have exactly NO desire to see this.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I think it sounds awesome. But I won't be seeing it because I won't be in NY at that time.

Wonder whether playing at Playstation Theater would be a cheaper alternative though.

This will probably be as popular as HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS. Just this is playing a larger theater, so imagine the company looking out and only seeing 300 people in the Broadway Theater.

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 will be starting up in Somerville, NJ on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City, MO(May 29-Jun 3) and is now then touring throughout Japan August & September 2018. Japan schedule: Tokyo(Aug 15-21), Kanagawa(Aug 28-29), Shizuoka(Aug 30), Osaka(Aug 31 - Sept 2).

I don't really know how popular or not this would be, but many of us didn't think Rock of Ages had a chance of pulling in an audience on Broadway either. I know it didn't recoup but it didn't have a bad little run.

I thought Rock Of Ages did recoup its investment?

I have a terrible memory. Oops...you are correct.

(Doesn't change my point though - which is: who the hell knows?)

Just give the world Love.

Rock of ages at least had a story going for it where this appears to be just a concert? I try to see everything that actually has a story but I'll probably be skipping this like I did home for the holidays. They just feel like a waste of time and money to me.

Which is one of the reasons why I have no interest in it either.

Not my cup of tea but that magic show has made money both times it did a limited run, so yes HFTH failed but there is a way to make money with these types of things.

They use local choirs when they tour- I sang with them when they used a local professional-run glee club and its alumni. The arrangements are cool, but it's not quite Trans-Siberian Orchestra levels of spectacle.

Is Tony Vincent with the Broadway run?

He's a great guy- I bought most of my guitar equipment from him on Craigslist, and he was a great help in getting it set up and configured.
