Curious why Ben Miles isn't with the show anymore, but thrilled with the casting choice.  Hopefully more shows will follow their lead.

I am so happy this is coming back as I didn't get to see it before the pandemic. I will definitely be adding this to my roster of shows for my November trip!

Sad I won't get to see Ben Miles as I think he's truly fantastic, but it'll be nice to see Adrian Lester on stage.

Does anyone know the Amex presale code?? The phone number on the back doesn't work. Thanks!

Perhaps soon we'll be seeing similar announcements from West Side Story and The Book of Mormon. This is the first SR project besides the upcoming The Music Man to announce an opening/reopening date.

This was the last Broadway show I watched before the shutdown so am glad it's coming back! Hopefully it will get extended if there's demand.

Ooooooooooh, Adrian Lester. I wasn’t going to make this a priority because I’d seen it in the UK but now they get my money again.

Missed chance to see it at the NY Armory.  Snagged tkts to 3 different dates. Luv Sam Mandes' work too.

Look forward to it.

I was thinking this as well. I checked Ibdb as soon as I saw this announcement and the page still hadn’t been updated to reflect the new opening date, I wanted to see who might’ve taken over SR’s duties. I could see it just ending up being solely a Neal street production.

Very torn now. I didn’t like Lehman, and I had no intention of seeing it again. But Adrian Lester is fantastic. And I have yet to cross him off my “to see live” list. Is it worth spending $40+ and 3+ hours of my time at a show that bored me to tears, just to see an actor who isn’t even that old, and is likely to continue working onstage for decades to come? Sounds like I just answered my own question, but on the other hand, it might be cheaper/easier to see him in this than to use up a show slot on one of my future London trips just to see him in something else. Not to mention, I almost always operate under the “bird in the hand” principal when trying to decide to see a particular show or actor.

Apparently Mormon is getting some rewrites to "tone it down."  Lawyers are probably still working on MM and WSS.

It's as if this show was written for Wall St. and/or those who remember and lived thru the financial nightmare of 2008.  Could understand why some would find it dry.

Lehman was released from lawsuit.  Excerpt from Broadway Journal.  If you want to read full story, it says to subscribe, but it's free to sign up.  Doesn't ask for credit card.

SPOTCO DROPS ‘LEHMAN TRILOGY’ FROM LAWSUIT AGAINST RUDIN, CLEARING PATH TO OPENING

May 21, 2021 by Philip Boroff

EXCLUSIVE: The company producing The Lehman Trilogy  on Broadway has been removed from a lawsuit by the advertising agency SpotCo, simplifying the show’s return to New York after the Covid-related industry shutdown.



Adam Godley in Lehman Trilogy

SpotCo said Monday in a filing in New York State Supreme Court that it “wishes and intends to discontinue” the suit against Three Brothers Broadway LLC, which is presenting Stefano Massini’s acclaimed play about the now-defunct investment bank Lehman Brothers. In an Aug. 5, 2020 complaint against producer Scott Rudin and companies he managed, SpotCo alleged that it was owed $319,000 by Three Brothers Broadway for work done on behalf of the play.

JBROADWAY, Would it help to read up on story to make it less boring? 

I did that for Great Comet & it made more sense to me when I saw it. I also enjoyed it more.

 If you like the actor and it's only 40+, will you kick yourself for not giving it a shot?  Just a suggestion.

Too bad it will only be a relatively short run on Broadway. I was hoping to catch it in late spring 2022.

Btw, according to Deadline.com, Rudin is out, but co-producers Barry Diller & David Geffen are staying with the production,

Thoughts on them remounting this for a limited engagement following all the wins last night? The rumor mill is already spinning. I know they're doing the TV series, but I feel like the show still has an audience for a commercial run.

I know there are plans for it to play the Gillian Lynne theatre in London for a run in 2023

I saw this in LA and really don’t get get the hype. The actors are great but the direction and design felt so dated the projections felt very 90s to me. I didn’t get all the hype. Dudes become rich, dudes scheme people, dudes become poor. The end.

Does anyone know why they pulled this from San Francisco?
