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

WBAF: you know how I respect your opinion on almost everything, except Grease.
But, I do love the attention you pay to it! Better to be talked about badly than ignored??
Live long and prosper.

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!
That is not true about The Wiz set only fitting two theatres. They need to rebuild the set anyways. The set was originally designed for the Al Hirshfeld.
The main problem is what you said, everybody is REALLY busy right now, esspecially Des.
