Excited for THE VISITOR and SUFS and maybe FAT HAM (a gay riff on Hamlet). I think I'll pass on the others until reviews come out.

FYI, since I had seats before the shutdown, they sent me a code to buy tickets today for The Visitor. Check your emal.

Wow, busy Fall for Tom Kitt, premiering two new musicals a month apart. I guess this explains why Flying Over Sunset isn't starting performances until mid-November.

THE CHINESE LADY seems a bit... expected. But I'm intrigued by OUT OF TIME. I'm hoping for the best from SUFFS but we'll see how "women working against and across generational, racial, and class divides" actually pans out.

Posted: 8/12/21 at 3:31pmI know this seems premature but for those who understand how the public typically works pre-pandemic is there likely to be an extension of The Visitor and if so for how long?
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Yes, it's quite common for the Public to extend their popular productions. How long, though, is tough to say. Some extend for 1 week, others extend for months. Assuming the show isn't totally panned, there will likely be reasonably high demand for it. So I would guess they'll extend for at least a few weeks to a month. Maybe more, but we also don't know yet what's scheduled to go into the Newman after The Visitor. They'll probably have a winter/spring show in that theatre, so it can't extend that long.

Thank you for this! I looked for that info when booking a matinee and couldn’t find it. I was trying to figure out how much time I would have between it and my evening show. This will help me make better plans!
