HELL’S KITCHEN To Close - Feb 22, 2026 — Page 3

I also heard that TAKE THE LEAD was aiming to make its transfer to Broadway, but not until the summer/early fall. They’ve workshopped and rewrote some of it since then. I don’t think they will be able to turn it around and plug it in that quickly though.

Magic Mike Live is corralling press in NYC for some mystery announcement next week....would they mount another production here? New York audiences are way different than Vegas, nevertheless I could see it filling the Shubert for a time since it's a recognizable title for tourists.

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"

Nah, it would still flop. Despite good, non typical for Broadway score, it was grim, poorly staged in the wrong theater and the story didn't have universal appeal. Even downtown it wasn't all that. It's your classic critics darling but not very popular with paying audiences. Like a cult movie that bombs but earns a devoted following.

They are indeed doing a NY run, but it won’t be on Broadway. And it’s a male dance revue, not a theatre piece. 

Oh I know Magic Mike is not a theater piece...I just figured Shuberts were fine putting SOMETHING in their flagship during a vacant period instead of letting it sit empty haha. They're also working with a press office that handles Broadway and Off-Broadway theater, which also made me wonder. 

Here's hoping some show is ready to swoop in.

Slam Frank will likely mount a full off- broadway production at some point in the near future, but the idea of a non-union show with barely any technical elements and a shoestring budget jumping from the Asylum straight to the Shubert is hilarious.

They just released that EP last month… was that a sign? I wouldn’t put it past Ken Davenport to rush a show in."

he has been posting some "road to broadway" videos the last few weeks

ALL MY SONS seems to want the Belasco next season, and I don't think they're getting that house.

I would’ve thought the Belasco is one of the least desirable theatres to have and the double Tony winning Bryan Cranston was one of the desirable names on Broadway?

Network played the Belasco, maybe Cranston has an affection for it"

I predict MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD & EVIL, ALL MY SONS, or BENJAMIN BUTTON

 

The Belasco is also, y'know, currently occupied by MHE, which does not seem to be in danger of closing. 

Again- in such a tight turnaround time, for a production to take the Shubert and open by the Tony deadline, it basically has to be as close to ready to go right now as it feasibly could be. A load in would need to be happening in early to mid March, which is two months away.

I adore the Belasco.
