The show ill make its debut on July 13, 2021 at Chicago’s CIBC Theatre. It is set to run through Aug. 15, 2021. If it’s a hit, it will transfer over to Broadway in New York City… meaning that it MAY, by some miracle, make its way to Australia one day.
The show has actually been pushed back, which was explained by producer Kevin McCollum in a statement.
“We realized that we wanted more time to work on the show. Our creative team members are in demand around the world with ridiculous schedules,” he said.
“The new dates mean that not only do we get an ideal theatre in Chicago (the CIBC Theatre), it also allows our New York landlord to confirm the Broadway venue, which means we have more time to coordinate our physical design, marketing, and sales plans accordingly.”
