But...Just In Time isn't at the Winter Garden -- what would that closing have to do with the Winter Garden?

Just in Time isn’t at the Winter Garden.

My Telecharge email about my Just in Time tickets say it is playing Circle in the Square.

The Distinctive Baritone said: "It ain’t official until it’s announced on Playbill. This is very possibly just ALW trying to drum up financial support.


But yeah, I agree that it is a risky proposition at best for this production to transfer to Broadway. It would be one of those shows that the critics love but nobody sees. Why does Broadway always have to be the goal?"

BroadwayWorld's breaking news is them stealing information on someone's post. No other site has reported this being official. Still waiting on an official press release from Playbill.

Point taken, but It was originally reported on Theatremania

Yes, apologies, silly mixup on my part. I was referring to Circle In The Square. My suggestion is that Just In Time will close in time for Jellicle Ball to open in the Spring. 
 

edit: With that being said - the Winter Garden will also be available in the spring post-Mamma Mia. It’s a great proscenium venue (if they are indeed wanting to push it on tour), with the added bonus of the original Broadway production having played there.

I know BWW is incredibly guilty of stealing their news from people on the message boards, but I do stand on my confirmation (from cast members!) that the show is indeed opening in the Spring and they are currently working through the pre-production phase. 

Plus, the cast have been all over social media yesterday confirming it.
