[edit] Revival

I added the information about a possible revival and re-write of the musical "Pal Joey". The source is a theatre columnist for the New York Post, in a column from March 1, 2006. Although there are internet rumors about a reading and whether or not Jackman will do this play, it appears to be only at the stage of rumor at this point. JeanColumbia 12:15, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Addendum. Richard Greenberg did write a revised book for "Pal Joey". The revised production was performed at "The Huntington", in Boston, Sept 1992-Oct 1992 with Donna Murphy as Vera, directed by David Warren. Again, this information could be included in the main article on Pal Joey, as one of the revivals, with detail of this revision in Greenberg's main article.

I moved the revival information from above to the Pal Joey article, under Musical play. Today I added a reference to a report that Greenberg is rewriting for a revival to be produced this year. This appears to be more than a rumor now.

Merging makes sense to me. JeanColumbia 16:17, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

-This musical deserves it's own article - the musical information in the other article should be moved here. It should not be a sub-set of the novel article. As it stands, it is mis-named. To conform w/ other theater articles it should be called Pal Joey (musical) not "play". J. Van Meter 20:16, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
