I'm excited about this. I've always thought this could make a good musical. Interesting how they're having 3 "preview" performances in December and then nothing until the end of March. But I'm happy I'll be there for the begining of the run.

You do know this is the THIRD attempt at musicalizing this, right? I saw a reading in LA that the Pasadena Playhouse - one of the worst things I've ever seen. Then they replaced the entire writing team and actually did the show at the Pasadena Playhouse - it was every bit as bad. And now, it's a whole NEW writing team. The producer of this thing is basically out of his mind. They've already lost a ton of money over the years, and yes, it's been YEARS.

They all announced a UK production of this show with Danny Mac and Carley Stenson but that was postponed. Kimberly Walsh will be dire in this especially compared to a talent like Xavier.
Well it’ll be interesting to see what happens. If it’s a good musical, I’ll be very happy. Or if it’s a massive train wreck, I’ll be very happy as well.
According to this article from Forbes in April 2019, "If the show is not presented in the West End before December 14, then their exclusive rights to adapt the screenplay into a musical will expire".
That would explain those weird "pre-preview" dates.
