Roundabout is in the process of negotiating the cast's contracts for a six month extention from June 25th.

Yes, it looks as if it may extend to October. However it'll most likely be out by year's end in order to make way for Streetcar which opens in March

Well, I think it will win Best Revival, and one of its actors are bound to win a Tony, so yeah, I would think it will extend after July. At least, that's what I'm hoping for; I'd really love to see it again.

Pacific Overtures also has 54 after Assassins...then Streetcar. And - The renovation of 54 is before Overtures...so Assassins really can't run that much longer in the fall.

The last I heard Pacific Overtures might be looking for a new theater. Is that still happening?

After Assassins wins the Tony they will probably extend thru at least October 17th.

I would say it's very possible. This show is FANTASTIC!

I hope they transfer the production, or keep it running.
It is stirring and fabulous theatre. Though this also has to do with the fabulous cast, so we can't lose them. :)
