I'm more or less assuming it's advance for the Winter is next to nothing. I do wonder if Billy Crystal's show might take the Marquis. Otherwise, it might just be something unexpected taking the theater. I doubt it sits empty for too long.

i randomly found literature that said the johnny cash musical was in too large a house- it was in the barrymore. how much smaller can the theater be before you stop being able to blame failure on house size? i wish ms doubtfire all the best. but i see it having the same exact trajectory as tootsie at best. i. have. doubts. i will find it truly amusing if the only show that can actually fill the marquis-the music man- doesn't go there simply because of producer ego. i know theres many bigger problems in the world, but as a theater goer i have a lot of issues with the state of ny theatre currently.

So, where is Blue going to play? Id think the Lyceum, but many people seem to think that would be for Sing Street. Is Blue no longer coming in this season? To my knowledge, unless the Barrymore opens up there won't be a theatre for it, and I cannot imagine it plays the Marquis or Neil Simon.

Just browsed its Telecharge seating charts, and those houses look empty starting in January. The current block of tickets is through April, but I wonder if it would shutter before that?

January isn't a super good barometer because most shows don't do well in January, but luckily they've been making money and can pull through. 

I think the fact that it was just announced that they broke the Winter Garden box office records this week will certainly help.  And I wouldn't doubt that they extend into the summer, which makes me wonder if the original cast will sign on to stay through the original run if that's the case.

The new building they're putting the Palace within is projected to be open at some point within 2022. If the theater itself is open before the rest of the building is, it would only be by a few months. The Palace should not be considered for at least a few years.
