I'm predicting Dolly: A New Musical. What do you think?
Posted: 5/18/26 at 4:59pm
DOLLY would take an ATG house, no?
My money's on WARRIORS after a limited run or two. That likely won't be until the 2027-28 season.

Yes, I understood Dolly was supposed to be going into August Wilson or St. James. It wouldn't surprise me now if Dolly is being pushed to a Winter 2027 opening, which is unfortunate. I guess ATG would also have the Al Hirshfeld as well available for Dolly.
I tend to agree that Warriors is going to be announced as the new resident at the Lunt.

From my understanding, I've heard Warriors is coming but not until the 2027-28 season, for now I've heard it's Damn Yankees that's coming in next season and they've got two big names attached; rumor is Neil Patrick Harris as Applegate and Julianne Hough as Lola

I also heard Damn Yankees with Neil Patrick Harris was coming in.. I didn't hear the Julianne Hough news, but that would not be a surprise

I swear to Christ I will never forgive the creative team of Damn Yankees if they force us to endure NPH when Rob McClure is right there. And Julianne Hough after they finally cast a non-white actress in DC?

I’m pretty sure that no one is going to FORCE YOU to “endure” anything.

I think that person may have been using English in a non-literal way to express their disappointment in a casting choice.

I would much prefer Ariana DeBose as Lola if she was available.

White Yankees.
Posted: 5/18/26 at 9:55pm
There's no real winning with Lola, since the original character was conceived as a white woman (extremely Jewish-coded) who "Latins it up" to amp up her sex appeal but is just another gal from the Bronx before the Bronx was diverse. It's not a very good joke, and it doesn't hurt to lose it, but that WAS the rationale.
And without it, you lose the comedic hook of "Who's Got the Pain," which mixes New York Jewishisms with mambo music.

Ok but Julianne Hough? Then Reese Whitherspoon can do the film.

My guess is Celebrities Reading Back Issues of the New Yorker.

NPH is a good get for YANKEES. Wonder how long they have him, though...if he's only in for 9 months (or god forbid 6 months), finding a willing replacement is easier said than done.

Is Cranston’s AMS still happening on Broadway? Yay!

I'd be surprised if Julianne Hough does this. The team very specifically wanted to cast a Latina actress in the role for the DC run, and there were lines in the new book alluding to Lola being Latina.

Did the rumor of NPH & Julianne Hough come from Sweaty Oracle? He posted that yesterday afternoon. So maybe not super reliable.

I don’t know if that talent is actually signed for Broadway, but they just did a workshop of it with NPH, Hough, Donica, Kritzer, and others.

Rob McClure was wonderful in this and it sucks that he's not continuing, but that's the climate we're in. Producers will be able to raise the capital and secure a theatre with NPH. It would be far more challenging with Rob, even if he'd be far superior in the role.
The SEC filing for this show states the raise is 18.5 - 21.5 million dollars.
