Derren Brown - Coming to Broadway???

JSquared2 said: " What's your beef with Derren Brown? This is the producing team that had a nearly 2 year Broadway run of THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG that recouped, followed by a successful tour and off-Broadway run. I think they know a little bit about what they're doing."

No disrespect, JSquared2, but this is NOT the same producing team as THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG.  Only J.J. Abrams was part of that producing team, and let's be honest, J.J. Abram

What are everyone's thoughts on Derren Brown coming to Broadway for 17 weeks?

I know that Atlantic Theatre Company produces great work that made it's way to Broadway (The Band's Visit, Spring Awakening, and Beauty Queen of Leenane).  However, when will producers learn that just because a one-person "magic show" sold out its run Off-Broadway in a house with a seating capacity of 199, doesn't mean it will be able to fill up a Broadway house like The Cort, which has an approx seating capacity of 1092?

I understand that he has a following on Netflix, but come on now. 17 weeks?

I guess J.J. Abrams, Jeffrey Seller, and Thomas Kail needed a tax write-off.
