As Ipreviously mentioned, JLP is probably taking the Broadhurst after Frankie and Johnny. So it won’t be vacant, as people have said."

Until its confirmed with JLP, it'll still be listed as vacant since it is still vacant. No official word on that front."

I feel like there are so many people saying and so many indicators that JLP is going into the Broadhurst that it can't possibly end up going there. You know, one of those things that's just too perfect to actually happen.

Just seemed like everyone was saying A Girl From The North Country was going to the Lunt and that never happened.

“Everyone” as in actual sources like actors, and people who would know? Or was it just speculation. I’m pretty sure that was just speculation...."

The way most people talk on here when they say they have an inside source make it sound official. I don't have specific post or poster I'm referring to since this was months ago, and of course plans could change without notice, but I like to wait for confirmation. It'd certainly make all the sense for JLP to play the Broadhurst, but we just have to see. Someone said the Booth may be getting a musical as well so who knows!

This theater is named after Brooks Atklinson, former NYT drama critic. If you want to call it by a shorter name, that should be the Atkinson, not the Brooks. It's as if you referred to the Neil Simon as the Neil or the Richard Rodgers as the Richard.

Also wasn’t AGFTNC rumored for the Barrymore or am I imagining?

An actor literally said something like “when JLP comes in” on one of Christy Altomares lives. I wouldn’t start a rumor unless I had information to base it off of. A lot of what had been mentioned on this thread seems to be according to speculation or rumor-my information is coming from two reliable sources (IMHO)."

Ya im not calling you specifically out or anything, Im just saying things can change or are sometimes misheard, or people do start rumors for no reason!"



and shows can change theaters! Wasn’t Dear Evan Hansen supposed to take a different theater when the broadway transfer was first announced?

Yeah - it was originally at the Belasco, and then Shuffle Along closed.

I think what most likely will happen is Jordan Roth will try to partner with another theatre owner to get it over here. Kind of like how he got Angels in America to transfer. The Nederlanders let him bring it to the Neil Simon. Which I think would actually be a good house for Company."



Oh yeah i forgot I read that before Moulin Rouge was announced - so yeah sure aint happening. Cher isn't doing so hot, so who knows if it'll be around next spring.

Nothing confirmed obviously yet but what I heard from my idustry friend on theaters being considered:

Girl from the North Country - CITS

The Lehman Trilogy - LCT-Beaumont

The Inheritance - Hudson

Jagged Little Pill - Broadhurst

Tea at Five w/ Faye Dunaway - Booth

Jagged Little Pill to the Sondheim after Beautiful?

Save 2-3 Shubert houses for the inevitable other Scott Rudin plays.

I'm curious about how long Oklahoma! can sustain at CITS, if it extends its limited run past Labor Day. Will word-of-mouth eventually catch up to it (assuming that the general audience response is less effusive than the critics)?

I'd think they'd rent it out as there have been no "Roundabout" shows in that space.
