Menier Chocolate Factory to Present Pippin

Here's a recent Playbill article.  The Menier Chocolate Factory is working on a production of Pippin with the Original Fosse Choreography.  Do you think it's headed to Broadway?  The article says:

                        "The Menier's previous Christmas musicals have included Sunday in the Park with George,  
                        La Cage aux Folles and A Little Night Music, all of which subsequently transferred to the  
                        West End and Broadway."            

There are certainly a number of productions that seek to preserve the original Fosse Choreography (including the 1996 Revival of Chicago).  This definitely shows how Fosse's choreography becomes an integrated element in the productions he's working on--his choreo becomes a crucial part of the show, enough so that it doesn't feel like the same show without it, which can be rare for choreographers.  Here's the link to the article:
