2023-2024 Broadway Season — Page 9

If they can turn the theater over in time assuming Here Lies Love closes before the new year or in February (who knows), I could see Paper Mill’s Gatsby going into the Broadway. It’s not the most sought after theatre and the physical production of  Gatsby is very, very large.

Jaja's African Hair Braiding will extend once again, to November 19.

My secret and definitely crazy hope is that another show will take over the Broadway after Here Lies Love using the same stage configuration. I was so so excited for the Marianne Elliot/Steven Hoggett Co-Directed production of "They Shoot Horses Don't They" adapted by Paula Vogel-- WHAT A DREAM TEAM!-- that was scheduled in London a couple years ago but canceled because of the pandemic and hasn't been rescheduled. I really want them to make this show and the current configuration of the Broadway seems perfect for it. 

Rob Madge’s My Son’s a Queer (But What Can You Do?) will play the Lyceum Theatre. First preview is February 27, opening night is March 12, and it will run through June 16. 

Do people think Lempicka is still aiming for Spring? Or is there too much already opening & they might wait for Autumn?

Seems strange a theatre was open for a one person show?  

Or is Lempicka working with Jujamcyn, so it wouldn't matter which Shubert theatres were available?  Could it go to the St James after Spamalot?

When I look at the list of all the new shows set for Spring, I can't help but think that there will be some very expensive flops.   Fortunately, none of the shows look like the total trainwrecks that came in last year like Paradise Square or K-pop.

I think the two I named looked bad from the moment they were announced.

A highly anticipated musical will be announcing its Broadway run next week.

Lempicka has already announced. Longacre. So probably one of the others? I'm guessing Tommy.

It's Tommy. Which is going to the Nederlander.

I think he's talking about Lempicka announcing their run next week.  They have started to change their social media with new artwork.  

Also, why are people talking about betty boop or hells kitchen going into the shubert?  they haven't even had a single performance yet.

yes that's right.  I forgot because there's no buzz.

Lempicka: first preview March 19, opening night April 14

That leaves CITS (Enemy of the People?), Jones, Golden and the Shubert still open for the spring. And likely the Broadway. 

I find it hard to believe that the Shubert, of all houses, will be empty so what will be playing?? 

The Huey Lewis and the News jukebox musical The Heart of Rock and Roll begins previews March 29 and opens April 22 at the James Earl Jones Theatre.
