Brigadoon Revival Gets Postponed
Brigadoon is a town that arises out of the midst once every hundred years or so. And it looks like you'll have to wait another year or more for it to rise again on Broadway.
Merely one day after the Nederlanders announce that a new revival of GUYS AND DOLLS will open at one of their theaters in the spring, word now comes that the incoming revival of BRIGADOON has postponed due to a lack of theater availability. This must really suck for Boston's Colonial Theater, which was supposed to have housed both BRIGADOON as well as NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT, which too was "postponed" last week.
I was really looking forward to this revival, especially since it was going to showcase an entirely new book by John Guare (who promised to accentuate some anti-war sentiment) and Rob Ashford's debut as a director-choreographer. But counting GUYS AND DOLLS, there are already five musical revivals set for next season (GUYS AND DOLLS, GODSPELL, WEST SIDE STORY, DANCIN, PAL JOEY). And who knows whether HAIR will transfer.
