Ghostlight to record NEXT TO NORMAL — Page 3

Considering Second Stage will soon own the Hayes, it makes sense for the show to take it not only because of size but because of its history with 2ST.

I know from listening to Grief in the lobby at Arena that they ARE hoping to transfer this season. AND that he knows that Tveit is going into that show. That's why I think they are aiming for now, especially if they just did the cast album with him. I think others have been told the same thing by the actors at the stage door, that they are trying to get into a theater this spring.

EnWashingtonHeights ~ I think that's a place-holder icon. Just to make sure the word is out.

As far as them wanting to open this season, that isn't really a secret. There was even an article about it on bloomberg.com before.

It definitely looks like 50thousandvolts got deleted. It has the line through it on my list. Sadness!

Who says Best Musical is what they're aiming for?

As far as turn around, they really don't have much tweaking to do, and I'm sure the set was essentially "erector-setted" down. It's not a complicated set.

It's definitely possible ~ especially if they're able to keep the same cast.

It would definitely throw a monkey wrench into the acting ~ particularly Best Actress in a Musical. Definitely a year where they'll have to listen for the full name there. LOL. (Well, most likely.)

RUUUUDE!!!

I searched, ive found nothing official linking Aaron to 5th street's CMIYC. Nothing in the playbill article, nothing on the 5th street website. As i said earlier, all of that has been rumor due to his involvement in the reading.

Jack O'Brien confirmed to Playbill.com at the closing night party for HAIRSPRAY that Tveit, Norbert Leo Butz, and Kerry Butler have all signed on for CATCH ME IF YOU CAN.

I believe the Seattle run for the show launches in June, which means rehearsals will begin in April.

Even if NEXT TO NORMAL made it in this season (which I don't think it will,) it wouldn't even start performances until at least April.

Do the math.

But again, somethingwicked, contracts can be written with clauses in them. If when N2N came up as going to Arena there was definitely the talk of transfer back which based on what I've heard from people connected in there was), the contract could have been written with the condition that if a transfer does happen he would be released from other contracts. (Besides, the producers of Hair made it sound like Eden had signed a contract too. Just sayin...)

And "being offered" and "taking" are two very different things.

And if they don't have to wait for a show to close to go into a theater (if they took the Longacre, which I still hate but it's empty) it is certainly possible for them to be up and running before April. The set is not complicated and was likely taken down erector set style to be easily and quickly put back together ~ and it's not that technical of a set: no trap doors, elevators, turntables, etc.. And if they're able to keep the cast, the rehearsal process would be much shorter as the run has JUST finished.

I'm confused RentBoy ~ you say you understand them not thinking they'd win, yet earlier you said if they won't win what's the point. Perhaps they realize there is a story there that needs to be out there and to them, THAT is more important ~ the impact this story has on people ~ than a biased group of people voting for an award.

...It's coming.

Sooner than you guys think.
