thoughts on what theatre this will play at??

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Isn't this taking the new Henry Miller? I believe so, but they had another casting announcement on playbill.com a while ago, so not really NEW info

hold up - is that really the official opening date? seems kind of tacky to set that date as an opening.

is it going to be a limited run roundabout show or is it going to have an open run
im thinking it might try to stay because for its first principle audition notice it said something about future replacements...
