Rumor: Michael Riedel reports the hit, London revival of Sondheim's "Company" featuring a female "Bobbie" (and Patti LuPone) is headed to Broadway next season; I'll drink to that!
Good News: the Public Theater is planning a $110 million renovation to upgrade the Delacorte Theatre in Central Park; "To Kill a Mockingbird" will offer $10 tickets to groups of New York City middle and high school students; and Bruce Springsteen's sold out (and very expensive) one man show will release a live recording and Netflix special
More Good News: Critic's Pick! "What the Constitution Means to Me" is headed to Greenwich House for an extended run from November 27th to December 30th; don't miss this show (read my review)
Development: a film version of the musical "The Color Purple" is in development; Joseph Stein, Charles Strouse, and Stephen Schwartz's infamous 1986 flop "Rags" is getting a New York concert reading of an updated version; could a future production be in the works? And a musical adaptation of "Magic Mike" (yep) appears to have found its workshop cast (we're not worthy)
Record: at performance 3,183 last week "The Book of Mormon" became the longest running show ever to play Broadway's Eugene O'Neill Theatre, besting "Tobacco Road" (1933)
Watch: take a peek inside rehearsals for City Center's upcoming gala production of "A Chorus Line"
