This has a Nederlander-owned house.

Wheeldon feels like such an odd choice for this.
Hope this fares better for Mike Bosner than Cats, Shucked, and Proof.

Opening cold on Broadway seems a little crazy…And Lena Dunham? Can a writer be “box office poison?”

Lena is fantastic and just went number one on the New York Times bestseller list. Hardly poison, she is a very successful writer.
But this will still flop. These movie-to-stage adaptations just don't work. They are so tired.

Yeah, GIRLS is still a sacred text to a certain subset of millennial women in New York.
I don't know how it will fare, creatively or financially, but Dunham probably won't be the problem.
