Sad News: No Emmet Otter Musical at Goodspeed this year

Maybe this won't come as a shock to some of you, but I didn't see anything posted in regard to this. I emailed Goodspeed as I was curious as to when the Emmet Otter musical tickets would go on sale this year, and this was the response I received:

Mr. Johnson,

Goodspeed will not be presenting “Jim Henson’s Emmet Otter” in 2010. It may return in the future.

Thanks for your interest.

There was talk of the show possibly moving to Broadway this year, but unless I am missing something, I don't recall any news on casting, production, etc. Could it be no Emmet show this year? That would really be a shame.
