I would say these dates are extremely firm."

Yeah I figured an extension was unlikely, thanks

That's what her artistry looks like, which of course is not for everyone.

That said, this production was programmed to showcase her vision, which I personally love. Can't wait for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof next year.

Is BAM considered off Broadway? Would the production be eligible for any awards? I wonder why they did not pick a Broadway house?

I think it’s pretty obvious. Broadway is hugely more expensive so they would have to commit to a much longer run. And I’d imagine Mescal doesn’t have the time to do that.

It depends on the awards and length of run. but generally anything in Brooklyn is not technically Off-Broadway.
