Broadway Real Estate 2018-2019 season

What theatres do you think will be open in time for 2018-2019 season and which shows do you will open where?

I think the Al Hirschfeld, Belasco, Brooks Atkinson, Cort, Longarce, Lunt Fontanne, Marquis, Palace, Stephen Sondheim, and Winter Garden theatres are all mostly likely to be empty come next spring.

I don't know about the Brooks Atkinson being open come spring, I think Waitress has at least 1-2 years left, and with very savvy producers behind it.. I am sure they will find stars to filter in.

Kinky Boots may have the same fate if they don't get more recognizable names to a 2018 audience.

A Bronx Tale should be gone by Labor Day.

I think the Broadhurst may open up for the spring.

I could see The Bands Visit running out of steam shortly after the Tonys and closing by the New Year.

I hope not, but the Imperial may very likely be open.

I hope not, but Circle in The Square may be open

I hope they fill it quicker, but The Lycuem

The Kerr might be open if Springsteen doesn't extend again
Depending on how it fares with NY audiences, The Hudson may be open.

I agree the producers behind Waitress have found a way to keep Chicago running with stunt casting, but they tried the same thing with Pippin and we all know how that ended.

The Lunt-Fontanne will probably still have Summer, unless there’s a sharp drop off at the end of the summer. It’s a hard show to predict because word of mouth amongst Theater folks is so bad, but it’s been holding strong with grosses over $1mil since it’s opened.

See the Shubert becoming free, Too big a house for Mockinbird and also trying Tom re-write an American classic.

Palace

Marquis

Imperial

Belasco

and agree about Hudson.

I don't think Mockingbird will close in under a month though. It opens in early December, it certainly won't be closed in time for a show to go into the Shubert by the spring.

It seems like we might be in for an incredibly slight new season. With so many shows succeeding incredibly well right now, there doesn’t seem like there will be a whole ton of turnover this year. Could this be one of the slimmest years of new openings in the past few decades? It seems like rather little has been announced for the new season, and I’m just not sure there’s going to be space for much more.

If there is no dinosaur on the stage of Broadway next year, I doubt I’d root for King Kong to last longer than maybe the Tony season.

Honestly, I doubt Beautiful, Waitress, Kinky Boots and School of Rock will close in that time- those shows have proven that they still hold up well in both the tourist months and the rest of the year. Also, all of those shows have recouped their initial investments, so unless there's a pretty sharp drop in ticket sales I can see them each sticking around for a few more years. I also think Nickelodeon will keep pumping money into Spongebob for as long as they possibly can whether it does well at the Tonys or not- besides, I'm going to guess that it's going to start pulling in more money as kids get out of school for the summer and start vacationing in the city. I have a feeling they'll treat Spongebob the same way Disney treats all of their shows- unless they start really losing money it's going to stick around.

Also, I know they’ve kept saying this for years, but even if Spongebob closes, the Palace will be going under construction, so it might not even be available next season.

Maefield Development, Fortress Investment Group and L&L Holding Company plan to close the Palace Theatre and the DoubleTree hotel at the site on Sept. 15 to begin demolition and construction.

Do we yet have any idea what's going into the following theaters for the spring?

- Belasco

- Booth

- Golden

- Lyceum

- Walter Kerr

- Winter Garden

#17

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Glenda Jackson King Lear go into the Golden.

Based on gossip here and elsewhere:

- Belasco: Network (moving from the Cort)

- Booth ?

- Golden ?

- Lyceum: Be More Chill

- Walter Kerr: Girl from the North Country

- Winter Garden - Beetlejuice

I think only the Belasco, Golden, and the Walter Kerr are currently open for the spring now, right (pending future closings)?
"

Cort is now open, too!

Isn't the Belasco essentially taken for spring? Network closes mid-march so it would be hard for something else to squeeze in before Tony cutoff date.

Is The Ferryman actually open ended? Telecharge has it on sale through February 17.

Maybe the Jacobs, as little_sally suggested, and Hayes could get another show for this season as well? Though The Ferryman isn't specifically billed as a limited run, not sure the chances of it extending (beyond February 17) given the predominantly UK cast. And Torch Song is currently a limited run scheduled to end February 24.

I would bet King Lear takes the Golden in the spring.

It's interesting 2nd Stage hasn't announced anything for the Hayes after Torch Song, especially since their first three Broadway offerings were announced in rapid succession.

I wonder if over time they'll rent out that theater.
