HBO is developing a film adaption. Maybe I’m a cynic but I can’t see a film working well at all. First of all there’s the Gabe problem, it will take a hell of a director to handle his ‘disposition’ on film without it coming off as jarring. That aspect of his character lends itself much easier to the stage. Then there’s the fact that the musical is sung through. With recent movie-musicals seemingly loathed to admit that’s what they are, I have no idea how they’re even going to pretend it’s not one. |

It's such a niche musical that it might just go straight to streaming at which point I don't think they need to pretend it's not a musical. |

Honestly Jack Wolfe would be perfect for screen Gabe, but he might age out of the role by the time they got to filming as we know how long these things can stay in production hell. I just hope they get a distributor for the pro shot and/or just sell it on demand otherwise. |

I think it would be safe to assume this is not making it to Broadway before my march 25 trip?

I hope they wait, why go against Sunset Boulevard again. They have better chances to win that Tony the following year.

Maybe Mincemeat grabbed the theatre they were eying up!

I haven't heard if a transfer is dead in the water, however I have heard rumours that Cassie might be engaged for longer than expected with an upcoming job. So it might be a longer wait than we thought.

There's some speculation on BroadwayWorld that it will get transferred as a collaboration with one of the non-profit B'way companies, likely Roundabout Theatre Co. This seems likely considering a purely commercial run would be a risk considering it wasn't a sell-out at the Wyndham's. So, if it happens, will be a part of 2025-26 season. |

Does anybody know when the recording is likely to come out? I need my Next To Normal fix.
