That'll take awhile to repair. So now we have to ask, do they attempt to reopen in a few months? Or is the show done? Or do they hope another theater becomes available and they can relocate?"


chill out

its way too early for these types of decisions to be made

but u can rest assured they are starting to considerall of these options already

just moving to another theatre is not as simple as you seem to believe

the set was not built for portability and depends on modifications made specifically for the oneill

it is very expensive for a broadway show to move

which is why it is so rare

recently they havenot been making the grosses necessary to justify such an expense

my guess is they will max out their insurance policy and attempt to make a comeback at the oneill

using the fire as a publicity stunt to goose grosses

maybe they’ll evenadd a joke about this inthe script

until then

relax

Are you positive that you passed basic English in school ? Unless you’re E.E. Cummings, please use proper lower and upper case letters as well as spelling words their proper way. Example, replacing the word “you” with the letter “U.”

Not yet approved, but certainly on the mind of the owners."

From the article:

The plans put forward by the Shuberts earlier this month include significant restoration work in the interior. But by far the most exciting detail is the intended annexation of the large empty lot next to the Imperial in order to construct a new ticket lobby, commercial space, and, most importantly, new bathrooms.

Isn’t that vacant lot about to become Magic Mike Live?"

Magic Mike is playing at the old Copacabana. it’s only a couple of doors down from the Lena Horn theatre  

BeyondtheBoards said: "“The league” has no authority. It’s all up to individual producers.”

You do know that the league and the producers are pretty much one in the same right?

I had initially read about all this in an article in the NY Times. 
 

One thing Gelb mentioned is that they are considering was to turn the Met into a concert venue in the offseason. This is during the gap between ABTs season ending and when the Met reopens for the next season. The article mentioned that The Last Ship starring Sting was an example he gave 

I could be wrong, but, didn’t Disney say that they had decided to stop making live action adaptations of their animated films?

SteveSanders said: "I know lawsuits against ladies-only happy hour discounts were quite common many years ago and resulted in some state laws against them."

They were. However, they were brought on by disgusting men’s rights organizations. I believe that most of the states that enacted it weren’t blue but I could be wrong.

domdomdomdom said: "Surely the Entertainment Community Fund, especially after record-breaking fundraising by Broadway and touring casts this past year, has something set up for the actors and musicians if this strike happens?"

Maybe they do or not (not sure either way.) But, understand that if a strike is called by either union, it impacts more than just the actors or musicians. There are other unions/people impacted as well.

Part of me feels like between the actors and musicians that we may be dealing with a strike from one side or another. Though, since I have skin in the game, while I don’t wanna have to deal with a strike from either union, I am not optimistic that a strike from either of the two unions won’t occur.
