Charlie OFFICIALLY coming to Broadway — Page 2

Really no news here, we already knew it was coming to Broadway. It would've been interesting if they announced what theatre group they're working with, normally you get an announcement that a show is opening in Spring 2017 at a Shubert theatre to be announced for example. So this announcement tells they are no where near getting a theatre and will only open in 2017 if they get one. This seems something to keep investors interested.



i reckon it will be in the Broadway, Fiddler will be done by Spring/Fall 2017.

Source? I reckoned that Dolly! would go into the St. James after Rotten, too, when news of that production emerged, but who has verified it for you?

I have colleagues working on Dolly.

Maybe it's taking over the shubert. Matilda closes (possibly) in January and it comes in following that.

I think its safe to say it is not going into the Lyric.

It's literally Dolly to Frozen change-over. It's happening. It will not be the St. James. They are going to want a theatre where this can run long term (even though it will not).

Frozen is going to open at one of the bigger houses, not St James.

Really? I've heard nothing about this. I thought it was doing well.

I saw this back in 2014 in London and I thought it was amazing. The one part that should be tweaked for Bway is the gum chewing girl (I can't remember her name). Because she was black and was the only one with a rap song, people will say that the show is racist. I didn't really think that, but many will. Besides that, this will do VERY WELL on Broadway. Matilda was half as popular as Charlie and it did very well. I'm excited to see what theatre this goes into, but I'm betting the Lunt Fontanne or St James (even though I don't was Rotten! to close).

I've worked on shows in nearly every Broadway house and you are wrong.



the stage is one of the shallowest on Broadway and it has little wing-space . There are much bigger stages and Frozen is going to another theatre.



You will see!

I bet Charlie takes the Broadway, Dolly takes the St. James, Miss Saigon takes the Shubert, Aladdin moves to the Lunt-Fontanne, and Frozen takes the New Amsterdam

What about the Marquis? It's got a sizeable backstage area.

What? According to where?
