OFFICIAL: Producer Says FLASHDANCE Couldn't Find 'Appropriate Broadway Theatre for August'
by Nicole Rosky - Apr 25, 2013
Producer Thomas Viertel revealed in an official statement:
We have had the rare and tremendous opportunity in the last several months to experience Flashdance - The Musical on the road. We know we have a great show that audiences are responding to with huge enthusiasm and nightly standing ovations. We want to make clear that because we could not find the appropriate Broadway theater for August, we will take this time to refine the production that we are excited to bring to Broadway in the 2013-2014 season. By that time, we will have determined the best possible theater and date to welcome Flashdance home to Broadway.

BWW Reviews: FLASHDANCE at the Paramount - What? A Feeling? Nope.
by Jay Irwin - Apr 17, 2013
Not since the epic failure that was 'Princesses' at the 5th Avenue have I seen such an abysmal big stage musical with aspirations to Broadway as 'Flashdance - The Musical' currently playing at the Paramount Theatre.
