So... on playbill.com they have Spring Awakening listed as occupying the Bank Of America (formerly the LaSalle Bank) Theatre. Very interesting indeed! Link

What's interesting about it? That's a full YEAR from now. My guess is they're planning on closing JERSEY BOYS. Not that big a deal. JB is doing great biz now, but it's selling out (sometimes close, but not quite sold out) around the day-of. The advance isn't, I'm told, as strong as the WICKED advance was after that show had been in town for the first year and a half, even.
So while it's doing well now, it may not point to solid sales a year from now, so they're probably just not renewing the show's stay.
Same thing happened in SF with the show. Everyone thought it would just keep getting renewed but after 6 months the houses tapered off significantly.
Personally, the BOA is my favorite "road house" in Chicago and I'd be ecstatic if it were opened up to tours again.
