Titanique is playing the St James i think all logic is out the window right now, it would clearly be an awards play if anything"

TITANIQUE is a comparatively larger show that can be scaled up (like TAMMY FAYE - not the best example, I admit). MEXODUS is more or less a song cycle. Granted, throwing the balcony out of play brings it down to about the size of the Schoenfeld.

Congratulations to Brandon, Maleah, Kecia, Shoshana, and everyone else for originating these great roles. I had so much fun watching this show at the Public and on Broadway. This will be very successful on tour and regional theaters in the future. Bravo!

Or a 4th run of Beetlejuice.

It’s really a shame HK couldn’t have announced this a few weeks earlier, and maybe Death of A Salesman could have switched theatres to the Shubert, and Mamma Mia! could have become an open ended run on Broadway, and they could have rehearsed and built a new tour…

The Winter Garden makes Scott Rudin's microscopic willy go boing boing for some reason, if he produces more in the future, he'll probably always want that one.

Agreed that if something is opening this spring, we should expect tobe hearing about it within the next week or two if auditions need to happen. But it could begin rehearsal in mid-Feb for early April previews. Crazier things have happened."

I always love referring back to the examples from 2010 and 2024, where EVERYDAY RAPTURE replaced LIPS TOGETHER, TEETH APART in 10 days from cancellation to first preview, and ILLINOISE jumping into the St. James 16 days after SPAMALOT closed.

Prada would get crucified on Broadway. It’s absolutely terrible.

If it came in this season, it would've made deadoutlawillion dollars. I miss Dead Outlaw, it needs a tour or an off broadway remount

I remember being shocked and very delighted when Illinoise pulled that off. If something goes in it needs to be small and ready. Prada is definitely not either one of those things. And as brilliant and exciting as Mexodus was downtown, I'm not sure it's a good idea to bring it to Broadway in such a large space considering what happened when Dead Outlaw did it. Producers are much more careful after last year's embarrassing over-saturation of shows.

PRADA feels likely.

I also heard that HUZZAH! is fully capitalized and that could be a good fit for the Schubert.

isn't Mexodus staying (smartly) off Broadway downtown, just moving to the Daryl Roth ?

They should see if there is REAL interest beyond a few off Broadway runs. Broadway may not be the best idea for this one

Bull Durham? They wouldn't be that stupid considering there is no appetite for that show.

When was that announced?
