HADESTOWN to open this spring at the Walter Kerr — Page 2

Be More Chill was already an underdog with an uphill climb."

What I meant was some shows are still going to be just fine, yeah as you said the underdogs that were already on the bottom of the ladder have to be a bit worried now. Like... wow is the only underdog here Be More Chilled? Tootise, Beetlejuice, and Pretty Woman are all gonna be fine on name recognition alone. Cher Show has the lovers of Cher and jukebox genre lovers pretty much to itself. Be More Chilled was already the odd ball out and with Hadestown coming in now (you can't deny even if it doesn't win it gonna be a massive nomination getter) is now going to push Be More Chilled down even further. It's at the point that as long as Tootsie comes in as strong as it's expected, critics surprising us all and love the heck out of Cher Show, and if Beetlejuice makes some tweeks from the tryout, Be More Chilled is likely on the bubble spot for a Best Musical Nomination if not already on the outside looking in. It really DIDN'T need a highly anticipated already critical and audience darling of a show coming in to the same season to steal what little thunder it already had away.

Oh my God I am so excited!!!

Sooo happy to hear about this. This was definitely my favorite show of 2016 when I saw it off-broadway at NYTW. Can't wait to see the changes they made.

I seem to recall the exact same things were said about GREAT COMET two years ago...

Very stoked to see this news; I've been holding open a show slot for my April trip hoping it would come in this season.

Even though they haven't announced casting yet, it'll pretty much have to be the same as the London cast, right? There's not an awful lot of time between the end of the London run and the start of NY previews to bring in new actors.

Hadestown
Tootsie
The Cher Show
The Prom
5th option: Be More Chill"

As it should be through I could see Beetlejuice still coming in and pushing out The Prom to 5th option and Be More Chill out all together. I totally forgot that The Prom is here this season as well begin that it hasn't made huge waves (minus the Thankgiving performance of course) but it's got so much heart I would love to see it recognized with a nomination.

As fun as these predictions are, no one knows a thing until these shows are actually up and running here. They have plenty of time to screw things up :)

I haven't seen this new incarnation, but I've heard a lot of people rave about it. I just saw an interview with Chavkin and Mitchell saying they were going to do a ton of work on it and how it isn't even close to being finished. I think this'll be the Best Musical winner for sure."



they dont have a lot of time do they? The London run ends at the end of January right? And then this opens in March?

Bye Joe Iconis' and David Yazbek's Tony chances
