should be interesting...there certainly have been plenty of rumors floating around. I would be surprised if it's coming for Spring 2023...I would think it's more likely for Fall

I would think it would be the fall. If only b/c Nathan Lane seemed se set on continuing to give this show life (along with Bernadette). He already has a show this spring and I would think the team would want to keep Sondheim's original collaborators for the show intact if it was an option?

This is extremely exciting.

Does an announcement at this time of year seem right for a fall opening or could it even be in the spring? If they could get someone like Mandy I don’t think they need Nathan. I guess we will find out tomorrow.
"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)

I think that they are quite dedicated to the stars they had at the reading.

It has to be a fall 2023 opening. Given Nathan is still attached, his Pictures From Home is scheduled to end its run on July 2.
Oh look, a bibu!

Did Pictures from Home change their schedule? I also had July 2 written down but looking at tickets, it only goes til April 30 (still too late for Nathan Lane to be attached to Square One for a spring opening anyhow)

Glenn Close and Matthew Morrison were involved in one of the readings prior to more recent Lane/Peters workshop.

If they do announce the show with a theatre, I'm going to assume that it is a theatre that is currently open, or in a limited run, as there hasn't been a closing announcement for anything.

The Twitter just posted. Tickets on sale at a later date. Just an announcement it’s happening…?

Bernadette and Nathan! YESSSS!
The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince

I am tempering my excitement until I see an official announcement from Playbill.

Beginning to think this is not legitimate as no outlets are reporting it.

I'm guessing this announcement is just to create hype & try to raise capital.

Yeah I’m sorry and I hope that I’m wrong but this seems completely fake.
The domain is broken and while the instagram was made yesterday, the Twitter has been around since July 2022.
No theatre site or theatre journalist has posted about it yet (I know it’s only 10:07 but some are very quick) and they usually all get press releases.

All my Bernadette dreams except Mrs Lovett come true. I am so happy!
