I hope it makes the move uptown. It would be great to have a competitive seasons with genuinely good shows, rather than the mess of last season's mediocrities.

I think that's most likely the goal but they'll have to see how it's received at the Public

There's already a plan for this to transfer to Broadway in the Spring.

The whole Public run and extension are sold out.

I can actually see the show going into the Hudson Theater given how much the actor-musicians are on stage, especially since Hudson is one of thefewBroadway theaters that has no orchestra pit."
I could see either Benjamin Button or Spring Awakening moving to the Hudson, though tilt toward the latter given Seaview basically has taken up residence there and there very well could be another ATG house open for the Spring at the O'Neill

I honestly see Benjamin Button more likely going into the August Wilson. It's the only ATG house (that we know of at the moment) outside of the Hudson that will be open come the spring. And coincidentally the theater it played in London is the same theater that currently houses Paranormal Activity.

It'll be open through at least January 17 with the recently announced return of James and O'Malley

Why bother.. just announce a Broadway transfer already.

Honestly, they're probably just waiting to secure those rave reviews from the New York critics once it officially opens to completely seal the deal for the Broadway transfer.

I wouldn’t assume raves just yet. British and US tastes are very different.

Anyone go last night?

Yep. It's absolutely beautiful. Saw on both sides of the ocean. Once this cast has lived in it a bit longer, it'll get even stronger. Andrew Durand and Kelsee Kimmel are delivering Tony-worthy performances.
