"Side Show, the cult Tony Award-nominated musical about conjoined twins Daisy and Violet Hilton, seen in a short Broadway run in 1997-98, is being revised by creators Bill Russell and Henry Krieger, under the guidance of director Bill Condon.

Russell remains the lyricist and Krieger is the composer. Hollywood's Condon, who directed and wrote the film of Krieger's "Dreamgirls" and wrote the screenplay of the Academy Award-winning "Chicago," expressed to Krieger in 2007 that he'd like to take a crack at directing a new stage version of Side Show one day, and the ball began to roll.

Roundabout Theatre Company will sponsor a Condon-helmed spring reading of the new material, Playbill.com has learned. No casting has been revealed. A late May presentation date is likely.

As is the custom with developmental readings at the Roundabout, there is no promise that Side Show will get a full production at the not-for-profit, but the reading news is enough to whet the appetite of countless fans who cherish the cast album of the pop-and-pastiche infused score. . .

"I think the show is substantially different and substantially the same," Russell told Playbill.com. "By that I mean, we're keeping all the big showpiece numbers…but we've written new material and restructured the show." . . .

"But we've really re-explored the whole show," he admitted, and Condon is full of fresh ideas. "He's brilliant, I just love the guy — he's so smart, so open, and he loves the show..." . . . "

OK, so this is amazing and I can't wait to find out everything about this, I will of course keep you guys posted on any dish I find about this.

I called it, Daisy . . . Dust off your tap shoes . . .

this is going to get so dishy/FIERCE!!!
