Posted: 12/28/10 at 7:59pmWe won't know for awhile. It depends on which theatres are open. They have yet to announce the cast and creative team so it will be awhile.

Posted: 12/28/10 at 8:12pmRumor has it that they want Circle in the Square, but with the way Lombardi keeps chugging along, it very well may not be free -- or a least not free in time -- for them to get in there by Spring. They may have to look elsewhere.

Studio 54 is free... 
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

The Barrymore is booked for this spring. The production taking the space hasn't announced yet. Are we sure Godspell is definitely coming in Spring 2011? Did anyone invest in People of Godspell?
And BroadwayBound115, I'm sure you realize that's not possible because of Wicked. However there's no way Godspell would fare well in that theater. It's too big and there won't be enough audience demand, in my opinion.

Okay, I'll bite: WHY???
C'mon, this is a seriously dated work that needs seriously rewriting. I had to design this last year, and I cringed at every performance. Unless they're planning on making the score more like RENT or SPRING AWAKENING (which would ruin the songs), the thing should just remain a really lovely memory of theatre times gone by.
