5 Shows Close....Whats Coming In?

Posted: 6/13/07 at 1:27am

Radio Golf, Company, Coram Boy, Journeys End, and Pirate Queen are out...

NEW SHOWS!! NEW SHOWS!! YAY!!!

Besides Young Frankenstein and Mermaid, what else can we expect/hope for?

Dude, listen to that sentence: "Besides Little Mermaid and Young Frankenstein" If that's what they're gonna be pumping out, then I don't want to know what's next!

Well think of it this way. Nathan Lane in the Mamet play has to go somewhere, so does the actor from Deadwood whose name escapes me in the revival of Pinter's Homecoming. In the Heights is probably jockeying for one of the vacancies as well.

Other things to consider:

Music Box will also be open in September with no replacement. The Lyceum open in August. Also, considering the prized nature of the St. James, I'm sure negotiations are already beginning for its fate post-Grinch.

Who can say for sure at this point?

Guys & Dolls at the St. James??? It would be better off playing a smaller theater. I don't think too many people would be flocking to see Guys & Dolls anyway unless some big names are vast.
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.

I'm sure Guys and Dolls will have some "names." I'm not sure where "In The Heights" would go though.

ACL are you kidding. Even if there aren't big names in Guys and Dolls, it's such a tourist show that tons of people will come to see it. I don't know if it can fill the St. James, but I don't think it's going to be hurting for business unless it absolutely sucks.

This maybe a stupid question, but didn't they just have a Grinch musical on broadway?

Yeah, it's the same production - they're bringing it back for a holiday engagement at the St. James this November-January.

Munk - wouldn't Jason Robert Brown's 13 be on the list of "dates to come/in development/rumored". I thought that it was on a projected spring 2008 opening.

I'm pretty sure it's official. All the articles seem pretty official anyway, and they talk about how much they think it's going to cost.
