What theater do you think "Angels" will go into? What theater SHOULD they go into?

They made a musical out of "Angels in America"?

No, it's about the character from ReNt. It's a sequel.

The musical Angel opened at the Minskoff May 10, 1978 and closed after 5 performances.

I thought Elphie was talking about "Angels: The New Musical Adventure"

their investors have told me, numerous times, they are aiming for Broadway (hah!). They have been holding auditions for a NY workshop all month.

YES! THank you TooDarnHot! That's the show I meant.

And the auditions have been for the out of town tryout. They already did a NY workshop...

Don't they want to have the out of town tryout in New Orleans as an attempt to revitalize theatre in the city?

I visited the website for Angels. Can't get excited by this one. I expect it will hit Broadway around the same time as Masada and Harmony.

I was just wondering

1.) What theaters will (in theory) be free for it to potentially go in to

and

2.) What would be the best venue?

my question - do you WANT it to come to Broadway?

I saw a reading and... yikes. The concept (and effects) are going to be very cool but the material is just very bad.

If you don't believe me, just go visit the website.

I actually really liked what I saw on the website.

I'm not sure about New Orleans, but its playing here in Shreveport(Northwest corner of the state) for 2 weeks this fall, and is being called a Pre-Broadway engagement.

yes Bret. that makes sense.

I believe they did get enough financial backing to bring it to Broadway. I was surprised by that news.

I guess it's a show that could either "fly" (get it?) and gather some type of cult following or just flop terribly. I don't know.

so it will be joining the '08 - '09 season, probably. such a CROWDED season! I have no idea what theatre they will get.

I know I said this in another Angels thread, but based on that NYMF workshop a year or two ago I say they shouldn't go into any theatre. I'm never the type to denounce something before it opens, but it was seriously painful. As in I would watch people get married under a gigantic lemon five times before having to watch it again bad.
