Rob Roy 'Postponed'
It looks like now Rob Roy: The Musical may not be making its North American debut at the Arie Crown Theatre, 2301 South Lake Shore Drive, this February. Chris Jones reported today that a spokesperson for the performance, "refused to comment on whether the show was still going to happen."
Ticketmaster, which has been selling tickets to the performance since December, lists the show as canceled.
As one Theater Loop commenter suggested, "The Celtic-wave thing is so 90s. Maybe they can transplant the story from Scotland to turn of the century Mexico and rename it Zapata: The Musical. I'd give that a better chance of survival than a story set in cold, soggy Scotland."
Either way, patrons who purchased the $52-$82 tickets may want to review Ticketmaster's cancellation policy, or call the Arie Crown Theatre box office at 312-279-6190.
