I will say that Porter absolutely nails this. 

I really hesitate to fully counter what you're saying, quizking, because what I saw last night was very much in progress and things will likely settle and change over the next several days. But I would say: temper your assumptions, just to be safe.

I sure can't!"

You have to create a new password to log in for the first time on the updated site. It's working fine for me but I do agree it's a much clunkier layout than it was previously. 

I was at the final dress tonight and for now I will say that I expect this to be a divisive production and needs time to cook.  

Titanique also has a sizable orchestra as required by the venue, further adding to its costs.

It also never recouped off-Broadway despite running for several years. Those rights are a major drag and I think there’s a ceiling to what audiences are willing to spend on a show like this.

I forgot about Fear of 13... they never actually formally announced their early closure in a press release, did they? So strange.

Well, Schmigadoon got an obvious post-Tonys bump... and the other new musicals decidedly did not.

I think Titanique is likely in real trouble. 

Two wildly different directors.

Well, the real Maria and Captain Von Trapp were married over a decade before the Anschluss and they also didn't flee Switzerland by foot over the Alps to escape the Nazis.

I'm sure that this will keep kicking around for a while considering who's writing it, but I would think landing at a nonprofit like the Public would probably be the best move rather than straight to a commercial Broadway run. 

It was brought up on another thread that I can't recall, but I believe it was rumored he was going to be in a revival of Three Days of Rain. 

The 7 months between MR closing and Paddington starting previews looks like the longest period of time the Hirschfeld will have had between productions since 1984 when there was a 9 month gap between a production of All's Well That Ends Well and The Rink (and technically it's the longest gap the Hirschfeld has ever had, as it was the Martin Beck back then). 

Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if the theater owners will want to do some maintenance or other work on the venue now that it’ll have a decently lengthy vacancy for the first time in a long while.

You're really the rare person whose 2 cents makes things worth less. 

He's been with the show for two and a half years. I know it's a princess track, but I get why he'd want to move on. 

They should put those "Have you seen this bear?" posters up at the Eagle. 

The show is now closing this Sunday.
