Be More Chill Coming to Broadway?! — Page 3

HogansHero said: "I have no animosity to the show whatsoever. I don't know anything about it. What I DO know is that it was not capitalized as of the other day, that it has no names attached to it as producers, that the Shuberts don't book uncapitalized shows with unknown producers, and that if all of the pieces suddenly fell into place, there's no one here to make a deal this week. So what do we have: a rumor, that may or may not be based on someone's aspirational expression of a dream. Could I be dead wrong? Yes. Is it likely? No."

You have no clue what you are talking about dude

First of all alot of show's arent full capitilazed when they announce they have booked a Broadway house, as it was Head Over Heels and GTBBT were both still raising money during previews.

Second the lead producer is not an unknown producer Jerry Hoehring was a lead producer on A Christmas Story, in addition to doing shows at the Falcon Theater in LA, and was a board member and CEO for National Theater For The Deaf

It hadn't even sold out by the time it opened yet alone in one fell swoop. (If my memory serves me well.) There were a number of time after tix went on sale where I considered buying them.

I dont know of its coming to Broadway, frankly, I dont care. I'm not their target audience and thats fine. Will it be a hit? I doubt it, but I'm not an investor so, again, I dont care.


I also don't care and not the target audience. My agent friend said it is moving after the new year but a theater has not been set!

Anyone else seen their Instagram today? They wiped and replaced it with a video that says "upgrade loading". A lot people seem to be taking this to mean they'll confirm a transfer in the next few days.

I think its all but confirmed its coming at this point

Exactly. Any other season, no. This season, hell yeah! Bring it in and even if it flops, it'll have that Tony Award sheen that none of the other new shows will have.

I haven't seen this much conspiracy theory since the Zapruder film.

I don't understand why two shows now (this and Moulin Rouge) have deleted all their insta content prior to a Broadway transfer/announcement... seems like it would actually engage fans less.

This coming weekend is probably the NYTimes "fall preview" issue. A good time to put a show on sale and announce for people who plan in advance. I actually wouldn't be surprised if we see other new shows announce sometime before Thursday, too.

To the person about deleting:

They didn't delete. They archived all posts, which is just soft deleting temporarily.

If it's following Jordan Roth, I'm calling them in the Walter Kerr. No matter how much I hate on this show, it's my guilty pleasure. Definitely going to see!

When it transfers, do you guys think there will be any casting changes?

I think there will be cast changes for sure. Its a complete cast of unknowns. That wont sell. The only ones I see transferring with the production is Jason Tam, Stephine Hsu, and George Salazar. They have the more "well known" names out of the bunch. Will wont transfer I don't think, he didn't get great reviews. But yes, my guess is we are going t get some Broadway names with this production.
