Looks like Disaster is a limited run, but even then Motown is only scheduled to return for 18 weeks

Seems odd that Disaster wouldn't announce it being a limited run when they initially announced the Broadway run of the show.

From what I gather, Disaster has been intended to be a limited run from the start, even though it wasn't announced as such. When I heard the show was coming into the Nederlander, the phrase "space filler" was used...whether that's true or not, we'll see. I don't suspect Disaster will be successful and I think Motown will fair much the same this time around.

Is it a new production of the tour?
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

Well, it pretty consistently pulled in high numbers on Broadway. My understanding from when it closed is that the producers wanted to make the production cheaper to run and bring it back. Surprised that it panned out after all this time, honestly.

Everything from the tour is exactly like Broadway. There isn't any set. I saw the tour in LA.. I went in with the lowest expectations but I ended up seeing it 2 times. It was so good!

Agreed with the poster who said this is one of the weaker jukebox musicals. With such amazing songs I feel like this was a wasted opportunity. The book was beyond awful!

Yes the book is horrible but its more of a concert to me. Go just for the performances. They can singgggg!

MOTOWN, one of the weaker jukebox musicals? Obviously this person did not see HOT FEET, GOOD VIBRATIONS or ALL SHOOK UP.

You should be surprised it coming back. You've always predicted it wouldn't. Stuck on the prediction runway once again.

You really need to get a hobby. You have way to much time on your hands constantly waiting on the board for me to post. Have you thought of adult coloring books?

Saw All Shook Up and enjoyed it for what it was. It was not supposed to be groundbreaking. Re the rest of the shows, was never one to feel the need to see every show ever done on Broadway. The other 2 you mentioned did not look interesting so we did not see them . Cannot comment on what we did not see.

It makes me sad that a Broadway theater is suffering the indignity of being just another stop on a national tour.

Ask Facebook to create a profile pic filter for it. #Pray4Bdwy maybe?

Broadway doesn't need prayers. It has wine in special cups with the show logo on them

Do any jukebox musicals intend to be "groundbreaking"? What new ground has a jukebox musical ever tried to break?
