‘No conversations’ about staging the Kander and Ebb musical, says NWS managing director
When we reported the news that one of the producers of The Scottsboro Boys publicly proclaimed the show was returning soon to an NYC stage, Will You Miss Me When I’m Gone? offered it with a grain of salt.
It’s a good thing, because the the people at New World Stages, the house specifically named by the producer, are denying shooting down the idea — at least for now.
Michael Coco, NWS managing director, got back to us with this response:
Currently, all five theaters at NWS are filled with successful productions all with open ended contracts. We do not anticipate any changes in our programming in the near future.
We followed up with Coco on this to clarify further.
