Test event up on Telecharge for a play at Circle in the Square, with no additional information. Must be An Enemy of the People, right?

Mods, are you ever going to fix the problem of the 25th post on each page being in thread purgatory until someone else posts after it?

Could be. Or what about Brokeback Mountain? Any word if that may transfer?

Brokeback is a musical. Edit: Ok, I guess it's a play with songs, technically, but has a transfer even been mentioned?

The Mousetrap is the other play that's supposedly coming at some point, so it could be that, but Enemy is still being advertised as coming spring 2024, and, right now, CITS or the Golden appear to be the only places it could end up, realistically.

Actually, S. Oracle is saying Patriots is going into the Golden.

I'm sticking with An Enemy of the People for CITS, but are there any other plays I'm forgetting?

Presuming you're right about People at CITS. 

It would be weird if Mousetrap was done at CITS after 70+ years in the West End at a proscenium theatre. It would be cool, but unexpected. 

The only other play was 'High Noon' directed by Michael Arden, but that was over a year ago.

I'm still holding out on a transfer of A LITTLE LIFE.

According to the website, it opens for a 16 week limited run starring Jeremy Strong, as previously announced. I guess Playbill just released the opening date early: https://anenemyofthepeopleplay.com

Not this season, but from what I understand, it’s still the goal. There’s another development stint at some point in the near future, if it didn’t happen already.

Any chance we’ll get In Dreams this season?  

Would love to see Lena Hall back onstage in the city again??

I saw it in Toronto and it is not Broadway ready. The script needs some significant rewrites.

Has this ever been the case in Broadway history that exactly 10 new or revived musicals open within the span of 2 months? None of the musicals that just started performances this fall stand a chance of surviving the spring because of this oversaturation...  Except maybe Merrily which has limited run anyway...

Why is "exactly 10" the criteria? 11 opened in 2017 between February and April. That season had a total of 20 musicals (13 new, 6 revivals, 1 return engagement)

"Exactly 10" isn't a criteria, just happens to be 10 new/revived upcoming musicals. 11 if you also add Alicia Keys jukebox that was just announced. I don't know, given that most of the brand new shows are struggling immensely, it's just strange that so many are opening at once. Maybe things aren't as bad as they are portrayed since producers have so much money to burn. Some upcoming shows have exactly zero buzz and no ads whatsoever. Who will be their audience? I guess we will see.

Oh to be clear, I think things are quite bad and producers are sweating bullets right now.

These decisions are made far enough out that producers' hands are kind of tied, because by the time a show is ready to come to Broadway so much has already been spent on development. And I know for a fact that several spring shows are having a very hard time with their raises. Some producers are maxing out their investor bases.

I don't know what the audience is for some of these shows...Heart of Rock & Roll, Outsiders, Water for Elephants, Wine & Roses, Suffs, maybe Lempicka all have tough roads ahead.
