Does any one know if the following shows are going to or might likely extend to the first week of September?

Mary Stuart (right now tckts being sold thru mid Aug)
Blithe Spirit (right now tcksts being sold thru mid July)

I will be in town for three days In Sept before going on a cruise and am wanting to see some current season shows. Unfortunately, that is the time of year when the fall season has not quite officially started yet and most new shows have not even started previews yet.

Any suggestions.. on or off broadway at that time of year?

I was in town in May and saw Mermaid, Hair and 9 to 5.

I think you have those dates reversed. (Blithe closes July 19 and Mary on August 16). Neither production will extend.

Smaxie, there's a very good possibility that BLITHE may extend. Lansbury is definitely leaving, but the producers are talking to Kathy Lee Gifford about taking over the role.

Sounds like heaven if you ask me (but you didn't!).

Absolutely flase. Blithe Spiirit will not extend, and they aren't in talks with anyone. Memphis is scheduled to start previews in September and an extesion would not be feasible.

I read the flase typo like blase and it made me giggle.
