I have indeed been following the development, right down to the ticket that I had purchased for the opening run in Boston, originally scheduled for this very week (May 26). Then it got rescheduled to August. Then it was announced that it was being postponed indefinitely. Here's the public link:

Oh how disappointing!

I don't remember where I read this, but I know this fact is true, is that reason they canceled the show this summer is because they don't have a theatre opening anytime soon that can let Tuck Everlasting making it, its home.

Without An Available Broadway Home, Producers Postpone Tuck Everlasting Musical

Glad to hear that the operative word is "postponed".

Here's an interesting early review of the premiere of Tuck Everlasting in Atlanta this week:

Move over, Matilda and Annie, there’s a new gal in town. A fountain-of-youth fable based on the ’70s children’s classic, “Tuck Everlasting” centers on adventuresome 11-year-old Winnie Foster (Sarah Charles Lewis), who comes across a family in the woods that have stayed the same age since they drank from a magical spring nearly a century ago. Tapping into live-forever fantasies of theater’s two core audiences (young people and baby boomers), this handsomely produced tuner, premiering at Atlanta’s Alliance Theater, shows commercial potential; it’s rich in warmth and spunk, but needs a dash more vinegar to cut through the waters of sentimentality if it wants that evergreen life, too.
