Henry Miller Theater question

Recently toured the new Bank of America building on 42nd street with a friend who offices there, but didn't realize the Henry Miller Theater was originally on the site, and was rebuilt inside the building, scheduled to open this fall. Last info I can find on this is from over a year ago, nothing on the Roundabout site.

Anyone have any updated info on the status of re-opening this theater, and what production will open it?

Since when does Henry Miller's Theatre have anything to do witgh Roundabout? Yes, I know the Cacret revival started there, but they just rented it. The last tenant was Urinetown.

I LOVE the design of it!




Can't wait for it to open!

>It was announced a long time ago that Roundabout bought the new Henry Millers' theatre.<

No it wasn't. Roundabout doesn't own it. Henry Miller's Theatre is owned by its longtime owners, the Durst Organization, and now, co-owned with Bank of America. Roundabout was in discussions for a 20 year lease of the theatre, which would serve as a home for their own productions that they want to have an extended life, or for other tenants that would negotiate with Roundabout for the space if its not in use with a Roundabout production.

And Roundabout is planning a production at the theatre for this 2008-2009 season, but it will be coming a little bit later than this fall.

I took photos of HENRY MILLER Theater about almost same time last year. The next time I go around that area Bryant Park- 42nd street- I will swing by 43rd Street and I will take photos for everyone to see what's going on...

WHEN IS THIS BITCH OPENING!?!?!?! who's got the scoop? someone spill the beans.

I'm sure there's a back loading dock of some sort. I wonder where the "stage door" will be? I'm so interested for this theater to open. I love walking by it, but the building that it's "part of" is surprisingly smaller than I thought. There isn't much "building" above the Henry Miller facade.

Any word or new news on the opening of this theater? I'm guessing Roundabout isn't looking to open anything in the theater this season?
