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.
What’s New York, New York? Surely not an adaptation of the movie of that name, right?
thanks for all the tips troynow!

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

Here is a recent article that talks about it briefly! (New York, New York) It's hard to find anything about it online given the word association.

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.

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:
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?

Update, just saw Life of Pi was rumored for possibly the Schoenfeld in spring

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.
Has American Airlines ever housed a musical? Pirates of Penzance could go to the Hudson.

It's housing one right now with 1776. And the Hudson isn't a Roundabout house, unless you meant that on purpose
There was a thank-you email sent to people who saw the reading and it definitely made it sound like this was step 1 of a full revival.

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

Also, The Boys from Syracuse, Big River, and The Pajama Game, all after the Roundabout renovation.

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!
I don’t think the Schoenfeld will be vacant in the fall… yet. Life of Pi is an open-ended run.
Broadway Legend Joined: 11/12/14
The list of theaters I have that don't have an open run are (assuming the Majestic will also be closed for renovations):
And shows that have announced they're coming in the next season include:
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.
Didn't I hear or read about an announcement from KISS MY AZTEC, the John Leguizamo musical for the fall?
Updated On: 3/3/23 at 02:39 PM
I've heard Merrily is taking the August Wilson. Kiss My Aztec is taking the Lyceum unfortunately.

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