Profile for Jonwo

Sonia Friedman is producing the upcoming London production so perhaps she could step in as producer for Broadway and other productions nationally and globally.

In regards to the Lyric, I imagine ATG would remove or change some or all of the elements that are related to Harry Potter when the show eventually closes but I suspect that they'll keep the auditorium mostly intact.

I imagine Warner Bros won't be working with Scott Rudin anytime soon.

I wonder how close Ain't Too Proud is to recouping?

Mary Poppins also had a logo change as well just before the Broadway production opened as the original London production was this:

I saw it at the Piccadilly and it didn't feel cramped at all, I imagine they'll use the Piccadilly set for the Broadway run.

The Barrymore would be good for Mockingbird, I think if it does move, they'll want a theatre that's on two levels and not three. It's a shame the Ambassador isn't available as that would also be good.

Cursed Child being a two part play probably hurts the grosses a little, it's still one of the highest grossing plays on Broadway apart from Mockingbird.

Both Beautiful and Waitress are on their last legs. I wonder if any shows are looking at the Sondheim and Brooks Atkinson as potential homes as they'll likely be available in the not too distant future.

As successful as the musicals have been, they have also dipped their toes prouducing plays with Peter and the Starcatcher, Arcadia and Shakespeare in Love. I imagine they'll do something with one of the Fox films now that they have that under their umbrella. I wonder if Fox Stage Productions will be folded into Disney Theatrical or kept as a separate entity

Just curious since Broadwayforbrokepeople listed a Jan. 2019 closing date."It's an open-ended run, butMy Fair Ladyis currently on sale through June 9, 2019.

SomethingPeculiar said: *If* MOULIN is indeed going to the Hirschfeld in the 2019-2020 season, I wonder if the Roth family will choose to bleed a little money to keep KINKY going through it's 6th anniversary inApril? (Though if they did that, then they might as well keep it going through the summer –– and if it runs through the end of next summer, it would outrunHairspray)If KINKYcloses thisJanuary, that could be a year without a tenant in the theatre, unless there's a play or limited engagem...

The Winter Garden is a bit big for this revival of Dreamgirls, I think it should go to its original home, The Imperial or failing either The Shubert or the Hirschfeld

I reckon Beetlejuice will debut later in 2019 as I can't imagine Alex Timbers being able to do both Beetlejuice and Moulin Rouge on Broadway at the same time.

I'm guessing Moulin Rouge but it could also be Crazy for You

It's had a great run and I imagine it'll successfully tour and be done in schools for a long time.
