Prince of Broadway

The Broadway premiere was announced in March 2012 for November 2012 but did not get a full-scale production due to lack of funding until late 2015 when it opened in Tokyo, Japan. Two teams of producers tried and failed to raise the show's projected $13 million budget for Broadway. Much of the pre-Broadway cast was replaced.

The musical was originally supposed to open in Toronto and New York in 2012 until its lead producer abandoned the project. A replacement set of producers was announced in May 2012, with a target date of fall 2013 for Broadway.{{cite news |work=The New York Times |first=Patrick |last=Healy |title='Prince of Broadway' Is Becoming King of Delays |url= https://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/03/29/prince-of-broadway-is-becoming-king-of-delays/ |date=March 29, 2013 |access-date=June 25, 2017}}
