You had me at Trap Doors, ha. I love that. I love that Elliot leans in hard to the tech aspects when she directs. Angels was a marvel.

This is not official but during the On Stage 2019-2020 preview this weekend, they mentioned Company as an upcoming revival.

All this teasing and yet still no official announcement.

Jordan Roth is no dummy, I think he’s clearly trying to wait for the Caroline transfer excitement to wane. I also assume he wants to be the only major announcement of the day.

Since when has Jordan Roth had anything to do with it?

Early reports were that he was taking trips to London frequently to scout out the show. There was a rumor that he's partner with Shubert like he did with Angels In America to produce it.

Hadestown was playing at the same time in London which would explain that. He's not attached to Company.

So far, the only "news" has been gossip from anonymous people in this thread. I wouldn't be holding my breath for an announcement that may come in days, weeks, or months. It's not even September.

Talking about announcements in general, how late do we usually get announcements for spring openings? December? 

Do we ever get to the point of shows only announcing in January or even after?

*I don't make the gossip, I just report it. lol a little better

90% of this board is  "my friend who works with the hairdresser of this one guy who went to McDonald's for lunch with SJB's dog walker said.." It's fun to speculate a little bit, otherwise a lot of the threads would be pretty dead. 

The waiting is annoying, but also exciting.

Yes. If I recall, The Visit was announced in Jan for a spring opening. Even Follies (2011) only announced a Broadway run less than 2 months before opening (albeit summer)! To be honest, I imagine these scenarios are for shows that are rushed in or a little delayed getting finances or take advantage of opportune moments to grab theaters. I would be surprised if Company is announced in this fashion. They probably want to get those tickets on sale.

April 26, 2020 will be the 50th anniversary of the opening of the original. I'm already planning on seeing it that day and it hasn't even officially announced yet. lol

Jujamcyn Theaters was the 4th-billed producer of COMPANY in London. The 2nd and 3rd names are also Americans. Whether he is co-Lead Producing the NY engagement or if he was simply a co-producer in London, there is no doubting his involvement in the show.

Yup, some people refuse to acknowledge facts.

As interesting as it sounds I do not think it will sell.

The west end Facebook just updated their profile pic with a balloon. I’d say an announcement is imminent.
