Miss Saigon closing; Broadway next — Page 2

I think it'll be the Imperial. They'll send Les Mis back on tour after a successful two years on Broadway, and give them the theatre for Spring 2016. Failing that, it'll be the Shubert.

the imperial. No way its going into the Broadway, and School of Rock will still be playing at the winter Garden unless Andrew wants to move it all to london. But even then, Cats will move it

Sounds about right. From what I've heard, Miss Saigon can pick up and move pretty quickly.

Mister Matt said: "I'm surprised it's closing already. I thought it was selling well and it really is a stunning production. I just hope they recast John or at least redirect pretty much all of his performance. He was a parade of bad performing choices and was hugely distracting."

I hope they restore most of the original lyrics. Most of the changes were amateurish at best and seem to have only been made so they could say they made some changes. If the Shubert has the wing space, I wouldn't count it out. Matilda isn't doing THAT great. It could be closed by the time Miss Saigon is ready to come in. But I'd put my money on the Broadway. I doubt Fiddler on the Roof will last very long.

I love the business of theater. Especially thinking of which shows could go into which theaters. It's fun to imagine the perfect theater for a show.

What show do you think should go into the New Amsterdam after Aladdin? Oh! And where should Frozen go?

true. I wish they would decorate the interior of the Minskoff. It is bland but has the potential to be EPIC>

Matilda grossed 66% of its potential gross. I think that it does still have time but I am not sure how long. I'd give it a year. I think they will really try to milk the show till it's very end

It's no Lion King. It does weak business when school is in session. Much like Billy Elliot, it has a large cast of children, which has additional costs associated with it (rehearsal time, fight calls, and early children's call time). Also, they are constantly replacing the children in the show, which requires rehearsals. To be honest I'd be surprised if it made it another year (clearly the premium pricing is keeping the show afloat, since based on "off-season" attendance it should have closed last Spring).

Any thoughts on what could go into the Hirschfeld?

yep, all but confirmed. Should be on Broadway this time next year. Too many revivals this season anyways to rush it in.

Excited!
