Could we see this project resurface elsewhere?

According to the unconfirmed report, Disney has completely cancelled the Main Street USA theater project. However, that doesn't mean that they aren't still going to go through with building a theater, somewhere. After all, performing arts are a big part of the Walt Disney World experience, and its hard to believe that Disney would spend so much time and money developing this project just to let it go to waste. Rumors have swirled in the past about additions to the Echo Lake area of Disney's Hollywood Studios, and it seems possible that Disney could simply adjust their plans and move this venue somewhere else at a later date. 

Will Disney ever make an official announcement about this cancellation?

Changes with plans for future Disney attractions happen all the time, with single attractions and sometimes even whole lands being cancelled before shovels hit dirt. However, this was certainly a high profile project, and since Disney made such a big deal about this new theater at last year's D23 Expo, we'd guess that Disney will have to make some kind of announcement about the status of the Main Street USA theater in the coming days, potentially as soon as this weekend. Though Disney may have just quietly changed gears on other projects in the past, it seems doubtful that they'll opt for a silent cancellation in this case, and hopefully we'll get some kind of official word about the end of this project soon. 

The sudden cancellation of this project certainly came as a shock, and it is a little disappointing that Disney has decided to halt development on what could have been a fantastic addition to the Magic Kingdom lineup that was more than just another ride. Why do you think this project was cancelled? Do you hope Disney revives their plans for a performing arts venue in the future?
