It is doing so well, does anyone think it could/should transfer to "The Broadway"
Thoughts?

Posted: 8/16/13 at 1:33pmGood Off Broadway shows don't "need" to transfer to Broadway. In fact, I think sometimes a grave injustice occurs to both the show, cast and audience when an intimate show (not necessarily inferring that Buyer & Cellar is intimate) transfers to a big house and suddenly there are few in the audience and everyone wonders "What happened?" it was doing so great Off Broadway.

I loved Buyer & Cellar, but there is no need for it transfer to Broadway. It's a massive hit off-Broadway and let it stay that way.
jay is right- Urie is too good to be missed.
My only complaint: Why the hell aren't they selling at Streisand's book at the show?! Better yet, why hasn't Urie made a companion audio book to listen to as you flip the pages?
Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco.
Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

The Helen Hayes is the only real option, but it should stay where it is. It's the perfect, intimate environment for a sweet and very funny play with a Urie performance that is pure gold.
Now that it's extended, I may see it again. I'll be in town closing weekend.

Why does everyone and their mother think that a show that does well Off-Broadway must transfer to Broadway? It's making money downtown, it's getting an audience, and it's scheduled to run till January(?), so why bother with a transfer? Sometimes a show is brilliant Off-Broadway, and loses something in a bigger house. (eg. LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS)
