Wait till we see the reaction the Bat show does. Could put Jim's name (back) on the map

I think they (Jim or Rink)must not want it continue/succeed. It's quite simple to book a show, some performers have moved on and I took that as the nail in the coffin.

100% This should be done. Although half the competitors will probably try to sing IACBTMN. It's already attempted every year.

What needs to be released is a U.S. version of the cast album. My friends that went to the show wanted the cd, but none to be found unless you want to spend bucks importing it. I find it a very poor business move to not at least re-release the old albums. The show is touring U.S. but you can't buy the cd here. A recording of the new cast would be very welcome.
I'm kind if hoping some big name act decides to professionally cover a song. Something like My Chemical Romance doing Bat Out Of Hell, or The Killers trying More Than You Deserve...
