If I'm looking at this correctly, their last extension from April 12th to September 6th was announced on 2/3, just two months before that extension was set to end. I wouldn't count them out yet.

Copy and pasting my review from Reddit:

Walk on the Moon was alright. The first act feels rushed which undermines the main character’s motivations, but Talia and Max are so good that they had me invested again in the second act. Max in particular probably needs more to do in act 1 to establish his character better. I described the plot as Temu Bridges of Madison County to my friend and that’s basically what you can expect.

Music is serviceable if samey.

I will always appreciate this production for the Kuhoo Verma moment it gave to us.

Kind of hope Six just has a dignified death and we get some new stuff at NWS. 

Anyone know who was involved with the workshops? The only person I remember seeing post anything was Casey Likes. Especially curious who they got for Cyrus and Luther.

The NYT article says it will be mostly sung through. Wouldn't be surprised to see some new songs added, they have some cushion.

I noticed that Michael Arden has reposted both of LCT's season teaser posts on his Instagram story. Any idea if he's attached to anything in their new season? 

I saw this yesterday and the 3.5 hours went by faster than you'd think. Parts of act 3 dragged the slightest bit for me, but I was mostly enthralled. 

Sweaty Testicle is saying that a different production of N2N unrelated to the West End version is coming starring Pink and her daughter… Nepo To Normal?

This is a huge bummer if true. Can’t imagine it approaches the brilliance of the London production/cast.

Warriors is winning all three easily if it comes this season. 

I thought this was brilliant and have been enjoying the cast album so far. Looking forward to catching this again and seeing how it’s evolved.

Ooh yeah, you're right. I saw it in the weird period in previews between Billy dropping out and Michael taking over, forgot that he actually did some of the previews. 

AC126748 said: "I won’t speculate on the reasons for Jacobson’s departure, but it’s extremely odd this story broke on the day previews were set to begin."

This reminds me of when Billy Magnussen dropped out of **** Meets Fan last minute, which was also MCC. Weird!

Re-inventing Ragtime is not. Its message has finally caught up with the social-political climate, but it coddles a very specific theater audience. This production is what the show is. This revival just has great performances to really land the plane. But nothing about this production is
