Producer Thomas Viertel revealed in an official statement We have had the rare and tremendous opportunity in the last several months to experience Flashdance - The Musical on the road. We know we have a great show that audiences are responding to with huge enthusiasm and nightly standing ovations. We want to make clear that because we could not find the appropriate Broadway theater for August, we will take this time to refine the production that we are excited to bring to Broadway in the 2013-2014 season. By that time, we will have determined the best possible theater and date to welcome Flashdance home to Broadway.

New York -- The stage adaptation of the 1983 hit movie "Flashdance" has taken a slight stutter step on the way to Broadway.
Citing an inability to find a theater, producers said Thursday that the show, originally intended to reach New York by August, will make it next season instead.
Said producer Tom Viertel: "We will take this time to refine the production."
A version of the musical about a working-class Pittsburgh steel mill welder with dreams of becoming a ballet dancer has been touring the U.S. It's now in Portland.
It features a book by Robert Cary and Tom Hedley, music by Robbie Roth and lyrics by Cary and Roth. The score includes the hits "Flashdance – What a Feeling" and "Maniac" as well as 16 new songs.

According to the NY Ties, producers have confirmed that a fully reworked version of Flashdance, which opened in the West End in 2010, is headed to Broadway in Fall 2012. Producer Thomas Viertel told Nyt We felt wed learned enough from the London production to re-work the show substantially and then perhaps take it out on tour, but then we did a table reading of the new script this fall and felt we had the makings of a solid Broadway show. It was a Lazarus-like moment.
