How about Godspell? Was it canceled because of money issues? Or because of the lack of theaters?

Because of money, it was booked for the Barrymoore. But I'd love to see Brigadoon. Does Guys and Dolls have a theatre?
(even though there is no need for that revival)

Guys & Dolls is taking the Nederlander (Sadly, I wanted Hair to go there).

And West side story is taking the Palace
Any word on where HAIR is going?

Maybe Vanities?

Wouldn't you think the producers of VANITIES would learn from [title of show]?

Maybe "HAIR." Seems like perfect timing for it. Although, I'd love to see a new environmental type staging for the show instead of just straight up proscenium.

POSTPONED, not cancelled.

MamasDoin'Fine, actually there is a difference between postponed and canceled. Godspell was canceled because it lost a backer. Brigadoon was postponed due to lack of theatres on Broadway. The production could still happen if they have a theatre. The Neil Simon is going to be free soon so there is a chance of the show going in there.

I heard really strong insidery-rumors that HAIR was going to the Nederlander. Hmm...

Well, either way, GUYS AND DOLLS will be taking either the Nederlander or the Neil Simon and HAIR will probably take the other.

It was announced that Guys and Dolls would go to a Nederlander theatre although it never said which one. People assumed that it was going to be The Nederlander because at the time they announced the revival The Nederlander was going to be the only empty Nederlander house. But, it could go to the Neil Simon.

WTF is going on!? Did I dream it, or was there written proof that VANITIES had the Kerr once SEAGULL closes? I could've sworn I read that MONTHS ago. Anyone confirm this for me?

I thought that Vanities was going into The Lyceum after Title Of Show.

Wouldn't that be a little to big?

I think Guys and Dolls would fit nicely at the Lyceum.

I agree with WishingOnlyWounds.

It SHOULD be: HAIR at the Nederlander, GUYS AND DOLLS at the Lyceum, and Vanities (or something else) at the Neil Simon. That would be the best situation for all of the shows I think.

Yes that would work but you are missing out one minor detail. It was announced that Guys and Dolls was going to go into a Nederlander house. The Lyceum is not a Nederlander house.

Guys and Dolls will take the Neil Simon.

Brigadoon will be going into a Shubert theater, whenever a suitable one becomes available. The only one I could opening up anytime soon might be the Shubert if Spamalot's grosses don't get enough of a bump from Clay Aiken.

VANITIES is a three-person musical. I doubt that it would take a house the size of the Neil Simon theatre. It would definitely fit much better somewhere like Circle in the Square or the Helen Hayes. If anything, this would go into the Lyceum and GUYS & DOLLS would go into the Neil Simon.
After RENT, I guess it'd make a lot of sense for HAIR to go into the Nederlander.
