Imagine having to leave four revivals out of the Best Revival category. Ouch.
CABARET GREASE GUYS & DOLLS PORGY & BESS SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE SOUTH PACIFIC PAL JOEY FOLLIES
My guess is that CABARET would be left out, at the least, with the same reasoning for LES MISERABLES' exclusion this past season.

Guys and Dolls ('92) was the first Broadway show I ever saw. I feel old.

I agree. Unfortunately it will probably be around until at least June. It's practically selling out the Brooks-Atkinson. But it should be interesting to see what happens once their advance dries up.

LOL, yes, it's definitely not Krowski, if anything I've heard some of her celebrity friends call her Krakow...not the point. She's definitely not doing the show here in the US because of scheduling conflicts with 30 ROCK. I hope that it's worth it, apart from a couple of shows that strongly featured her character (the "Rural Juror" episode was genius, she has so much chemistry with Tina Fey), most of the episodes only had her in one or two scenes which was disappointing. Messing is the one in talks to play Miss Adelaide. Hugh Jackman is supposedly in talks for the rumored film not the revival.

After seeing the Wiz in La Jolla, I heard that the reason it was going to take a while to move the show to Broadway is that the set they built for it, can only fit in two theaters in NYC, one of which holds Mary Poppins lol.
I think it was an entire hold for the theater waiting list to work out for them.
Plus, with the crazy success of Jersey Boys, a lot of the creative team has been busy with all the different tours, auditions, replacements, etc.. and now London, Vegas, etc...
I hope it does play San Fran. I would love to go see it again. I had such a blast sitting on stage for that show and Valerie Pettiford is the bomb!
Regarding PAL JOEY, the Roundabout does still have that Spring slot open this season. I don't see what would stop them from sticking it in there if the Book updates are complete and they have a director.

I believe MY FAIR LADY is shooting for '08-'09, it would not be smart to open this season with PYGMALION playing at the Roundabout, doing great business with a top-notch cast. FOLLIES is dead. Roundabout has yet to announce one musical revival. Let's see what it turns out to be.

Just one more revival and we can be assured that GREASE will be completely shunned by the Tonys, and we won't have to be put through the nightmare of a performance of that dreck on the telecast.
(just my opinion, of course )
