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.

Oh, but it is. Could be fun...like the movie, but don't know much about the show other than Susan Stroman is at the helm

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.

ACL, do you know when the Majestic reno is supposed to be completed for a new show to load in? Spring or summer?

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?

Roundabout does include on their 2022-2023 subscription page that there will be two additional Broadway shows announced. https://www.roundabouttheatre.org/get-tickets/subscribe-22-23/

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.

It's housing one right now with 1776. And the Hudson isn't a Roundabout house, unless you meant that on purpose

Mostly recently On the 20th Century and Violet were both there.

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.

Didn't I hear or read about an announcement from KISS MY AZTEC, the John Leguizamo musical for the fall?

Could we expect a Days of Wine and Roses transfer in the fall?
