I’ve heard some pretty strong rumors that it’ll be coming next season. I believe in the Marquee Theater

If it is to come back to broadway next year, what would we say the chances are of Amber Riley coming back to reprise her role? I’d love to see her in this show

Lol Amber Riley will come to Broadway with it and perform like two performances a week. That won't fly here.

Yes, she is:Amber Riley Will Make Her Feature Film Debut In Tyler Perry's 'The List' With Tiffany Haddish And Whoopi Goldberg...She's shooting this film now. 

I heard that Sonia Friedman wants the Hudson so maybe after the Go-Go's musical spring '19.

I think part of the reason this waited a season is that Nicholaw was busy with MEAN GIRLS.

A distant friend is connected to Riley who has made it known that it isn't dead by a long shot. Waiting for certain things to line up (like schedules and a theatre).

The west end production is one of the worst things I've seen in professional/commercial theater. The direction is all over the place and is no better than that of the abominable Carousel revival.
