most definitely an extension. actors all know it. length of the extension determined by tony nominations, with room for a FURTHER extension past the awards.
but...
DUMBEST show I have ever seen on broadway. and KC was givin me a lackluster Wednesday matinee performance…
granted, I DID attend a wednesday matinee...
But she's an ACTOR so even though she wasn't feelin it, her voice was spot on, and she hit every mark and every comedic line on point… there was just nothin behind her eyes...
LOVED Andy Karl. Was charmed by Peter Gallagher. Nice sets. Nice direction and design.
STUPIDEST SHOW IVE EVER SAT THROUGH.

This is interesting. Could you share where that info comes from?

Hello,
I’m responding to your inquiry about a possible On the 20th Century extension. Unfortunately we have no plans to extend the show as of now. That being said, there is a definite possibility that it will extend depending on Tony nominations, but we can’t confirm anything yet. Feel free to keep checking our website, or join our email club so you can get updates ifthe show does get extended.
Best,

Yea, they added more dates than I expected. I've been in touch with Kristin's PR people and they just kept putting the tour announcement off... Most of the dates we knew were with Symphonies, i.e. her being invited to play with them instead of booking venues to play as usual for a tour... anyway. She only has 3 dates in August, and nothing before that so it doesn't really change anything. They could extend through August and work around those 3 dates, but no longer than that, at least not with her in it.

I wonder if Andy Karl is still involved with Waitress. He did the workshop for it back in December. If so he'd have to head to Boston in July.

Roundabout shows, unless sales suck, always tack on two weeks to the first announced closing date. Let's fact it, the show is really about Chenoweth.
I'd say they'll close by 3rd-4th week of July, since strangely mid-summer closings are no longer a rarity the last few years.

I agree that this has been a major success for Chenoweth, but I do think she could be replaced. If Madeline Kahn (probably a bigger name at the time) could be successfully replaced, why not Kristin? There's also the option of a big name for Oscar, if Gallagher can't continue.

I certainly don't want to age myself but roundabout has transferred previous productions. When roundabouts Broadway house was the Criterian the moved 1776 too the Gershwin and put She Loves Me in either in the Atkinson or the O'Neil, I can't remember which one it was. I can't imagine that I'm the only long time lover of 20th Century too wish it a much, much longer run. With Old Times already booked into the AA house and roundabouts upcoming shows (The Real Thing, Noises Off) it would seem to me they might possibly look into other theaters. For gods sake Mama Mia running for 14 years and the equally dreadful Rock of Ages having its long run, I think 20th Century could even be a tourist blockbuster.

I got an email from Broadway Across America today which advertised several show/ tour packages. One of them was a "Hollywood Royalty" package featuring tickets to An American in Paris, The King and I, On the Town, and On the 20th Century. The dates for the weekend are September 24-27, which I found odd, since OTTC is not an open-ended run and has no plans to be open by then.
Might this be foreshadowing an extension, or does this mean nothing?
Here's a link to the itinerary

"I'd like Megan Hilty to replace Chenoweth. "
I was literally going to say that. Megan would be excellent as Lily! And I'm glad to see they may extend. Because the next show is starting shows in what? October? They have plenty of time!

Hmmm, weird. Scott Ellis said in a recent interview that it would most definitely NOT extend beyond mid July. I also find it rather optimistic that On The Town will still be playing in September...

I bet it's either extending through September or transferring. Broadway Across America wouldn't make that big of a mistake.

I emailed Broadway Across America earlier in the week and didn't get a reply yet, but they changed the itinerary of the trip. It no longer included OTTC, but has American in Paris now. I guess they did make a mistake there.

Per AdamGreer's post from last week, the original offer included AN AMERICAN IN PARIS.

I doubt "Broadway Across America" made a mistake. Having worked in production before, I can tell you it is very common to announce a show before all the contracts, etc., are in place. Subscription houses and tour operators do it all the time.
BAA knows it won't sell many packages that simply read "Shows: TBA". But they can advertise OTTC and OTT with impunity because of the clause that reads: "Show schedule subject to change due to closings, availability, etc." (Sorry. I don't have the contract in front of me.) And even if they have to refund some packages (again depending on the wording I don't have), many customers will make the trip despite changes because they've already made their vacation plans.
It's the moral equivalent of showing clips of the original Broadway cast to advertise a non-Equity touring production here in Palm Springs. It's become the norm, rather than the exception.

Since I've already seen OTTC 3x this year, I would prefer Andy Karl to hopefully be in a new show for 2015-2016!

So do most people just assume the show won't extend, even if Chenoweth wins? Trying to plan a trip to see it and wondering if I should just go in July or if I have more time.

So I noticed there are a few $67 tickets available but they're for wheelchairs... is it possible to purchase this seat? I don't really want to pay $100+.
