Could LOVE NEVER DIES arrive on Broadway 2020?

With the announcement that another tour of LOVE NEVER Dies beginning in the fall of this year. Is it possible that finally it will have a run or at least a limited engagement for 2020/21
That would also assume that Broadway would have his new Cinderella musical coming in the fall and hes still been reading about Joseph coming back to Broadway this summer for a 50th anniversary production. Maybe all that may be seen as too much Webber. Personally I really like his works though

The announcement was for a UK tour, not a new/re-launched NA tour... my bet is that since it hasn’t happened already and the show is now moving onto a foreign tour that it won’t be happening. Kind of a shame, I did enjoy the new production and thought it would be a neat little novelty to have it run in NYC for maybe two/three months if things fell into place, even if it made LIGHTNING THIEF-level grosses, haha.

I think if this were to play Broadway, it would have happened already. It's a shame because I really would have liked to have seen this.

Although there are currently no signs pointing to this, I'm still hoping it will happen some day, even if only for a very limited engagement. Would love to see it move into the Broadhurst so the two pieces could be side by side on 44th Street.

I'm not denying the visuals and that some of the music is very nice. But this show would need a complete overhaul of the book in order to not tick off many Phantom fans in NYC. It's just so anti-what the original show stood for, in my humble opinion.

I think this property is most valuable as a touring package. They would be unwise to bring it to Broadway where critics from major national outlets would get their hooks into it.

The announcement of this "world tour" actually strikes me as further confirmation that any plans to bring it to Broadway are dead. The obvious move would have been to have brought the North American tour to Broadway for a limited engagement, and they didn't, so I guess they are focusing their money/energy elsewhere...

Too bad it couldn’t do the Marquis for a tour stop for the summer.
