This played the Public Theatre in 2019. Jesse Green's review:
I feel like this review gives away a lot of details that would be much more fun to discover fresh in the theatre.
Suffice it to say the show is a loose, modern spin on George C. Wolfe’s “The Colored Museum.” It introduces a kind of absurd, satirical premise where every Black person in America is given a ticket to go live in Africa – then the play is a series of imaginative vignettes showing us how the premise plays out in a variety of settings. It’s wild, and often funny, but packs a punch in the end.
There is another "New York, New York!" show playing tonight at Bard Summerscape festival. From their web site:
"Susanne Bartsch presents: New York, New York!
A little risque but always extraordinary, nightlife maven Susanne Bartsch returns with another iconic lineup of the best variety performers the city has to offer. A cross between a night at the theater and burlesque circus, New York, New York! is a wake up call direct from the city that never sleeps.
Featuring Amanda Lepore, Joey Arias, Julia Atlas Muz, Brent Ray Fraser, Chartruice, Leonid the Magnificent, Neon calypso, Lola Von Rox, Rocky Lanes, and more!"
This show though, is listed as playing in the Spiegeltent, which makes me think it could be produced by SpiegleWorld? Maybe a tryout for a new Las Vegas show to compliment their 3 other shows there? Could be just be a one off, as I don't see some of these performers wanting to be full time in Vegas.
Real estate looks pretty full for the rest of this year. I think just the Broadway and Studio 54 are vacant.
Looking at spring 2023 though it gets rough. While lots of shows are rumoured, many aren't official or haven't announced theatres.
I have 15 empty: American Airlines, Broadway, Barrymore, Schoenfeld, Hudson, Jones, Golden, Longacre, Lyceum, Majestic, Marquis, Music Box, Nederlander, St James and Studio 54.

Most of these are taken for the Spring, there just haven't been official announcements yet.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Nothing's been confirmed.

No direct insider information but from what I've seen on this board, here are the rumors for each theater:
Broadway: Here Lies Love - seems still a bit up in the air at this point though
Hudson: Cabaret - there's been so much back and forth on this that I don't know how true it is anymore but it still seems like the strongest rumor outside of maybe Merrily (though it seems like that probably won't try to transfer this season)?
Lyceum: Sing Street - not as much a rumor, but more just something that would make sense considering that's where it was originally slated to go
Music Box: Prima Facie - haven't heard much about this recently but assuming this is still the case
St. James: New York, New York - as far as I know seems pretty confirmed
Winter Garden: Back to the Future - ditto
Would Roundabout have something else up their sleeve for American Airlines that has yet to be announced, or would it be more likely they just rent it out at this point? I'm assuming they're gonna have a larger musical revival for Studio 54 that also hasn't been announced yet--any rumors on what that could be?

I saw on Twitter someone suggest that the Encores production of "Parade" will be one of the two, but that is pure speculation and from one Twitter thread so take it with a grain of salt.
I also assume "Pirates of Penzance" will be having a full production in the future since they had a new adaptation written and I don't see why they'd do that only for a Gala Benefit Reading.
Has American Airlines ever housed a musical? Pirates of Penzance could go to the Hudson.

Based on limited runs and closing notices it looks like openings for 2023 fall real estate could include: American Airlines, August Wilson, Barrymore, Belasco, Golden, Hudson, Longacre, Majestic, Schoenfeld, Studio 54.
Also any updates on Palace reopening?
I realize some shows could extend, but I’d love to hear what some of you with strong buzz know what could be coming in later this year. thank you!
The list of theaters I have that don't have an open run are (assuming the Majestic will also be closed for renovations):
American Airlines
August Wilson
Barrymore
Belasco
Circle in the Square
Golden
Hayes
Hudson
Jacobs
Jones
Longacre
Studio 54
And shows that have announced they're coming in the next season include:
The Wiz (Spring 2024)
Merrily We Roll Along (Fall 2023)
Purlie Victorious (Late Summer 2023)
Mousetrap (2023)
High Noon (2023)
But there also seems to be some chatter about Chess, Lempicka, The Notebook, and Kiss of the Spider Woman. Also previously announced for past seasons that didn't materialize were Sing Street, Ain't Supposed to Die a Natural Death, Pal Joey, DDLJ, and Romeo and Bernadette, though I'm pretty dubious about these coming soon except maybe Sing Street. And of course, there could be any number of West End transfers too.
Well Merrily, Mousetrap, The Wiz and Purlie Victorius have all been announced but not their theatres.
As of Sept 4 I have more than that open:
American Airlines August Wilson Belasco Jacobs Circle in the Square Barrymore Hudson Jones Golden Longacre Lyceum Studio 54
Presumably the Majestic will be closed for renovations. No idea when the Palace is reopening. The Cottage also ends its run October 29 so the Hayes will be available late fall as well.
I've heard Merrily is taking the August Wilson. Kiss My Aztec is taking the Lyceum unfortunately.
