Tony-winning team Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty will write the music. The plan currently is for a 2012 debut in Germany — the lead producer is Amsterdam-based European company Stage Entertainment — with hopes to bring Rocky: The Musical to Broadway in 2013.

I’m a huge sucker for it’s-the-end-of-Act-I-let’s-all-sing-at-the-same-time numbers like “One Day More” and “Tonight” (the quartet version), so I’d probably vote for one of those. Oh, or maybe “Too Darn Hot”—that Cole Porter sure does have a way with words. What about you?
Sales of the single, which was released this week as part of the Broadway for Orlando initiative, will benefit the LGBT Center of Central Florida.
