Fall 2013 Incoming Broadway shows

[#1CarrieFan]

Ok all of you out in Broadway land, it seems like a couple of Broadway houses aren't booking Spring shows, so let me throw out a bunch of titles and does anybody know or have an opinion of where they would go or even if they are coming in?!
-Miss Firecracker Contest revival
-The Velocity of Autumn
-Gentleman's Guide to Love and Manner- such wonderful reviews, I hope this is coming from Connecticut.
-The Glass Menagerie- this HAS to be coming in before this Spring's Tony deadline!
-The Body Guard
-Prince on Broadway- don't you guys think this will replace the awful "Nice Work if You Can Get It" at The Imperial?
-Flash Dance- this poor thing has been limping around for so long if memory serves me right it's in Toronto this Spring/early Summer and claims to be opening on Broadway in August.
-Rebecca- if I were still back East, sign me up for tickets for this one immediately since I am stuck up here at the US/ Canadian border, I will have to wait for my friends to tell me all about the burning house and I'll need to wait for the CD! Speaking of CD's, did I hear correctly that Kathy Lee is releasing a CD this Spring of her "Scandalous"? If this is true, I'm going to go ahead and order it from Amazon, but I need anybody out there who saw this show(?) to explain all the falling frogs!
-Revivals of No Man's Land Waiting for Godot
-Cotton Club Parade- I heard such good things about this. Wasn't it at some sort of a Lincoln center theater fringe festival or somewhere else? Do we know who this would be a vehicle for? Would this be something that somebody like Savion Glover would be into, or is it more singing than choreography?
-Diner the Musical
-Big Fish- We know this is loading into the Neal Simon.
With such a long list of shows, who is going to be "kicked out" of their venues- Mama Mia at the Winter Garden, Chicago at the Ambassador, or are the Weisler's going to keep this cash cow FOREVER?

I just read that the Miss Firecracker and Velocity of Autumn show are both postponed till at least next season.

Cotton Club Parade was at City Center on two separate occasions. I think it's the best revue I've seen, but I don't understand why it's transferring. I think that Gentlemen Prefer Blondes would be far more likely to make some money.

I sure hope "Rebecca" is going to make it to Broadway at last. The original plan was, I think, to open in spring 2012, then fall 2012. I actually had tickets for Thanksgiving weekend 2012, but the show didn't open because of the financial problems. Does anyone know if they've finally gotten the financing? Any idea who will actually be in the cast? Any idea who is going to jail for fraud?

Concerning "Rebecca"- wasn't Howard McGillin and Sienna Miller cast as of Fall 2012? I love both these actors and don't know where they currently are or what they're doing. As far as the financing, if I had a million in my pocket I'd place it in their fund as there's enough Broadway "flop o files" to fill many seats for at least a short run.
Didn't Megan Hilty star in the City Center Gentleman? She is originally from Bothel, WA which is about 60 miles south of Bellingham, WA where I am.

I'm surprised this message board isn't catching on with a lot of your guys, do you have your heads filled with anything besides the upcoming Tonys and the dismal demise of Smash? I stand corrected concerning the title of the Gentleman's Guide, I thought it was Manner, but it is Murder. I know that Big Fish is booked into the Neal Simon and poor Prince on Broadway sounds like it isn't going to happen. To the previous illustrious shows that I threw out for your consideration, I'll add Viva Forever and maybe even the Weinstein production of Finding Neverland.

Whoops, and I forgot about Tuck Everlasting possibly coming in!

Confirmed
Longacre Theater --First Date (i don't think this will even make it to the fall)

Walter Kerr or Schoenfeld -- Always... Patsy Cline

If Nice Work closes before summer ends Houdini will take the Imperial if not it wil take the St. James
Brooks Atkinson- Diner

Tuck Everlasting has been postponed -- which often mean cancelled.


We like dealing in the present, I suppose. We'll finish complaining about the Tony Noms just in time to complain about the Tony Awards --- THEN we'll complain about the fall!

PHILADELPHIA STORY is off RTC's schedule for now. Either THE REAL THING or DINNER WITH FRIENDS will have the first slot at the AA this fall.

ETA- Also confirmed is Sharr White's THE SNOW GEESE at the Friedman.

Isn't DINER delayed indefinitely?

[Wicked Fanatic]

Posted: 4/16/13 at 10:25pm

"Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder" is definitely opening in the Fall at a theatre to be announced very soon. The book author Robert Freedman was in NYC working on the final negotiations during the last week of the OG run which closed on April 14th.

Regarding GGTLAM I saw it twice at the OG and absolutely loved it. The Edwardian theatre music hall they built for the set is reason enough for it to move to Broadway. If marketed right this will be a strong contender for a Best New Musical Tony nomination.

Just hope a new musical like that can last through the winter doldrums. It would look beautiful at the Kerr.

I believe Always..Patsy wants the Circle, and will most likely be moving in there in July/August

[SondheimFan5]

Riedel said that No Man's Land/Waiting for Godot would most likely go into the St James. Seems like an awfully big house for a classic play, even with those 2 stars

I would love for Hilty to do "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes". If only, if only...

[tazber]

Posted: 4/17/13 at 10:32am

Also, these musicals are possibilities:

First Date (definite)
Ever After
Houdini
Backbeat
If/Then
Les Miz
Aladdin
Empire
Toxic Avenger
The Nutty Professor
Minsky's

Was Backbeat pre-Broadway? And Misly's? I thought they just kind of gave up after the pre-Broadway run.

[DEClarke]

Posted: 4/17/13 at 3:50pm

TOXIC AVENGER won't come to Broadway until after J&H closes. Excited for the show to return to NYC. The reviews of the revised book/score in Houston were positive!

Taz,

Both Les Miserables and Aladdin have been confirmed. Aladdin is scheduled to go into The New Amsterdam next spring,and Les Miserables is scheduled to go into an unannounced Shubert theatre spring 2014 as well.

[Dessie]

Posted: 4/17/13 at 6:27pm

Les mis will go to a Shubert if they can get it.

[ClydeBarrow]

Posted: 4/17/13 at 6:39pm

I'm pretty sure LES MIS will go into the Imperial when Broderick leaves.

FIRECRACKER, DINER, TUCK and PRINCE are all dead. BODYGUARD won't transfer until it's done in the West End because Heather will have to come with it.

WTF? Actually, many of these have been discussed. And sometimes, at length. Are you just upset they weren't discussed on your thread? It sounds like you're scolding people for not discussing what you want. Why not continue the discussion without the condescending tone?

[fashionguru_23]

Posted: 4/17/13 at 11:22pm

And, let's be honest. The Lonacre will be available for the mid-fall/Christmas season...

[ClydeBarrow]

Posted: 4/17/13 at 11:28pm

The Longacre will be available like a week after FIRST DATE opens. If it does.
