Broadway Real Estate

Helen Hayes is no longer a Broadway house. So that makes only 4. The Cort is being renovated this Fall & won't be available until the Spring. GOTTA DANCE is eyeing the Music Box.

Significant Other is probably aiming for the Cort. (they plan to open in Spring).

I bet we'll see shows sneak in before the spring

Cort will have its renovations, but then I predict COME FROM AWAY there in late spring. For the Music Box, I think THE BANDSTAND. I see HALF TIME going into like maybe the Hirschfeld or Marquis. Who knows what Lincoln Center has planned for the Beaumont, but that revival of MY FAIR LADY is definitely getting some buzz. THE PRESENT has the Barrymore. And for the Nederlander I'm hoping something like PHOTOGRAPH 51 goes in there for a limited run in the fall to make way for a WAR PAINT transfer in the spring (I hope).

Wow, that would really be like Grey Gardens all over again! It would be a good fit.

>Everyone around here keeps talking about the Cort being renovated, but there has been no mention of it by the Shuberts or anyone else. That's mostly come from posters here thinking it should be renovated, not from any of the powers that be saying it will be renovated.<

It's possible that there will be a limited run tenant at the Cort, but a massive Hard Rock Hotel will be built next door to it, opening in Spring 2019. During some of that time, the Shubert Organization is planning to take the Cort offline for renovations, similar to their recent restorations of the Belasco, Longacre, Booth, Golden, Jacobs and Schoenfeld Theatres.

In the image below, that's the Cort to the left of this behemoth.

I believe the only "open" houses for the spring are:
Lyceum
Walter Kerr

Am I missing anything?

Would love to see a new theater built in that parking lot on West 45th! It's a huge space and to think it's prime retail and no one has snatched it up! We need more mid-size Broadway theaters.
