Could 'The Visit' be making it to Broadway in 2015?

Smaxie just made my day. They are extremely smart to open right before the Tony cut off. They obviously must have their sights on Tonys for Chita and K&E.

wow poor Kelli O'hara won't get a tony this year then if Chita comes in! Smaxie, what theatre will this go in? Also, do you know anything about Dames at Sea or Can-Can or Gigi? Are they coming in anytime soon?

Lots of things are Broadway bound. With the reviews it got, there is no way investors will be backing it in the immediate future.

Yeah, I would imagine that Times review killed CAN-CAN. Brantley gave THE VISIT an encouraging review, and basically stated that Chita's performance alone is worth the transfer.

Chita will certainly give Kelli some serious competition, but this season definitely feels like Kelli's time, and I can't imagine that she won't be sensational as Anna.

It was not selling out, contains no names, is not top-tier Porter, and got bad reviews. And I'm not sure what audience reaction you're referring to, because I heard nothing but mixed things.

next to normal got great reviews before it came to Broadway. They took a long time developing it.

As to The Visit, I happen to think if it comes, Chita will indeed win.

Yes, Next to Normal came to Broadway... after nearly a decade of development, including a major revisal and DC performance after its Off-Broadway premiere.

Could Can-Can come to Broadway? I guess. But not this season.

And Next to Normal sold-out and garnered great reviews and great word-of-mouth for its leading lady.

Can Can is fluff. It's an Encores show. It doesn't need to run on Broadway. What's the point? It's not providing anything new. Let them release it to the regionals.

Half of the shows on Broadway are fluff lmao and didn't next to normal get a lot of bad reviews when it was off-Broadway? Also, the places that N2N played before broadway weren't nearly as big as PaperMill

Next to Normal was written by Cole Porter?

CAN-CAN would be a complete flop if it came to Broadway. It really SHOULDN'T transfer.
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.

That's what I'm saying. Next to Normal was daring and different, so it was a gamble. Can Can would get swallowed whole. It's not trying to do anything different. It's fluff, but not really even good fluff. I mean, bring it in. Why not? It's not my money.

I made a lot of nasty comments about Can Can, but then decided to stay on topic and deleted them.

At Chita's concert at Birdland that I went to a couple weeks ago she did a ballad from The Visit, which I don't remember the name of, but as soon as the music started had a recognizable Kander & Ebb sound. She talked about the book being by her friend Terrance McNally, and said how he had 2 shows currently on Broadway (though I think she didn't realize that Lips Together... is playing off-Broadway) and that with luck by spring he will have 3 on (though by spring both It's Only... and Lips... are scheduled to be finished their runs).

How are you not rooting for it? You incessantly bring it up whenever the season is being discussed and have just been defending it- you've said in other threads you want to see it go into open theatres.

because the show said it was broadway bound which makes it worth talking about the possibility of it coming to Broadway. And i never said anything about can can going into any theatre. I have no idea what this show is about, how can i root for it? "I'd love to see Dames at Sea and Gigi go into the Jacobs and Longacre."
