Well, I don't know where to post this, so this seems as good a place as any...
I remember reading about Epstein producing this show (based on the Drew Barrymore movie) about a year ago and being really excited for it, but I haven't heard anything else. I think there was a reading and then it was supposed to try out of town sometime this fall... but I haven't heard anything more about it in almost a year. Anyone know anything? Just curious...

I read somewhere in the last couple months in Backstage that the reading was currently happening somewhere, but thats the only news i have heard, and I cant even remember which month's backstage it was in.

Here's what I found with a google search...from play bill.
In April of 2009, the Curran Theatre will host the world premiere musical Ever After. Adapted from the 1998 film starring Drew Barrymore, Ever After features a score by Zina Goldrich and Marcy Heisler. Mauritius playwright Theresa Rebeck has been enlisted to co-write the book with Heisler.
Tony Award-winning Doubt director Doug Hughes, who also staged Rebeck's Mauritius on Broadway, will helm the debut of the romantic Cinderella-inspired tale. (Tony winner Rob Ashford [Thoroughly Modern Millie, Cry-Baby] had been previously mentioned as the choreographer for Ever After.)
SHN also promises to announce a fifth "blockbuster production" this July.
Casting for August: Osage County and Ever After have yet to be announced. SHN's Best of Broadway will announce exact dates for its touring engagements in the near future.
