How does Michael Greif do that? Hell's Kitchen is also November at the Public.

After next Sunday, The St. James Theatre will be available. NY, NY has just posted its closing notice.

They already have their next tenant lined up; I’d expect an announcement soonish.

I won’t be surprised if it’s the 30th anniversary Tommy revival, straight from Chicago.

Does something move in immediately for the Fall? The Notebook?

I feel Notebook would want a smaller, much more intimate house. What about that rumored Spamalot transfer from the Kennedy Center everyone was talking about for a hot minute? Unless the Shubert's want that show back in one of their houses.

Kennedy Center's SPAMALOT is going into a Shubert house.

Got it. Makes sense. I haven't the faintest clue what could be next. Would Disney want to reclaim the venue? Maybe that long-awaited Beauty and the Beast revival opening around the holiday season?

If The Notebook comes in for the fall, I have to think it’ll play either the Jacobs or the Schoenfeld. 

And if the rumors hold up, perhaps a limited holiday engagement of some sort will play the Lyceum, before Here We Are comes in for the spring. 

Curious to see when Tommy decides to open. We’re still a bit thin on fall openings…

In the thread for Days of Wine and Roses, there was talk of the show going into the Lyceum in the fall. Could be a limited engagement leaving the theater available in the spring.

No. Notebook will go somewhere MAX 1300 seats. It probably has the Jacobs or the Schoenfeld. 

FWIW (and I know here not much) Sweaty Oracle says it's Spamalot. Whether it's Spamalot or not, I agree that it'll be a revival. I think the three "biggest" new musicals for this season are all already in performances. Maybe there's something I'm missing (and there's always room for a surprise), but most of the rumored new musicals are much smaller in scale. The revivals are all bigger. 

EDIT: I see I'm behind the discussion. Got distracted while writing this and came back without checking for further developments. I do still think the St. James will get a revival, even if it's not Spamalot.

This is not what I’ve heard (from an extremely reliable source-not sweaty oracle) but I could be wrong.

Oh, if they could bring Almeida's Streetcar to Broadway, the Longacre would be perfect for that! Still keeping my fingers crossed! Especially as Paul Mescal's schedule has opened up due to the strikes!

I thought the Beaumont was Lehman Trilogy in the fall then Crazy For You in the spring. 
 

And the rumor of Here We Are at the Lyceum in the Spring.

There seems to be a lull in the number of jukebox shows coming in. Of all the shows opened, announced or rumored to be coming in this season, only OUAOMT is a jukebox show. The rest have original scores. That's good news.

[EDSOSLO858]

Posted: 7/24/23 at 5:21pm

In the coming months, we could be getting A Wonderful World, Tommy, In Dreams, and Hippest Trip on the jukebox front. 

Will Hell’s Kitchen have a mostly-original score?

I'm sure that by the time they get done with it, and someone explains to her the benefit of having a score that is at least 51% original, it will.

I'm hearing Oliver is coming to Broadway.  maybe the St James?

An Oliver revival? No thanks, this season has enough revivals planned.

Any rumors on Suffs? Is Lempicka still happening? Both are original musicals.

I think Shaina Taub said she wanted the end of this year ideally, because she also wanted to tweak the show?
