The Alley Theatre in Houston just announced Hitchcock Blonde as part of their 06-07 season. That makes me think it's not headed for Broadway. They typically don't allow regional productions before a Broadway run unless they are out-of-town tryouts. I didn't get the impression that the Alley production was filling that role. It's also possible that the Alley has the rights contingent on no Broadway production and that they will have to fill that slot with something else.
The Broadway plans fell through when they lost their movie star leads. The show was recently done at South Coast Rep in Los Angeles and the play itself didn't get good reviews.
I'm pretty sure its going the direct to regional theatre route; there are a couple of companies doing it next season. If one of those productions is amazing, perhaps it will turn up in New York, but I wouldn't look for it anytime soon.
"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter
Did the play get good reviews during its London run? I remember reading an interview with Jane Krakowski and she sounded rather excited about being part of the production.
i watched the "trailer" for the play on the alley website and i have to say it looks like it would be lots of fun, but im not quite sure what its about. i mean i get that the stand-in on "psycho" kills someone and then asks hitch how to dispose of the body - but what about the modern counterparts?
"The theatre is so endlessly fascinating because it's so accidental. It's so much like life." - Arthur Miller
You have the Film Professor obsessed with Hitchcock and his Student on his Greek villa attempting to decipher a multitude of scenes from a Hitchcock film that was in the planning stages of being made. The professor is madly in lust over the student, and, of course, she screws him when she finds a note from his physician saying he's dying...but he isn't, of course.
Then, you have the story of Hitchcock auditioning Janet Leigh's body-double for the Psycho shower scene, and their relationship, up until the murder of her brutish husband.
It's all intertwined somehow (the reasoning escapes me).
