More Clues on West Side Story's Theatre?

Alright, I'm not sure how many of you are members of Givenik, but in a recent newsletter, they ga ve away some rather interesting news on West Side Story:

Groups of 20 or more can exclusively get tickets now, enjoying terrific savings. Get Price Level 1 $109.50, Price Level 2 $82.50 and Price Level 3 $46.50 at most performances. Student Groups can enjoy a special $42.00 ticket, too. Performances begin February 23rd, 2009 - book now for the best availability!

Though I know the price levels is not a theatre name, but comparing it to other price levels, it's very similar to Legally Blonde's current price levels, with Level #1 being Orchestra and Front Mezzanne, Level #2 being Mid- Rear Mezzanine, and the last being the Balcony. So, this doesn't exactly look promising for Blonde, now does it?

Well it seems strange. I mean, I don't think Legally Blonde is going to become some sold-out hit, but what if it does indeed pick up?

Legally blonde could always move. How about the Hilton?

I don't think that Little Mermaid is going anywhere. It has been the third highest grossing show on Broadway next to Wicked and The Lion King for some time now.

St. James is NOT a Nederlander theater.

The only other Nederlander I can think of is the Neil Simon.

But I don't see HAIRSPRAY closing soon enough for WSS to move in.

All the signs really do point to the Palace.

At worst, I could see it going into the Nederlander, and Guys and Dolls being postponed. WE NEED MORE THEATRES!

Maybe thats the plan? Have LB to put the sets on tour?

What? The tour starts September 21st...They'd have already announced the Broadway production's closure if they were using the Broadway set. And besides, very rarely can set built for Broadway be used on tour.

I'd rather see Legally Blonde continue to run, then for this lame-o revival kick it out.

I'd just personally like to see a new musical continue to run, then see a revival of a show come in and kick it out.

^Good idea

People have been saying LB is closing soon ever since it opened and it's proved them all wrong so far. I think YF is quickly losing steam and will close soon opening up the Hilton

"Legally blonde could always move. How about the Hilton?"

Are you kidding? Why would it move to another theater (which has about 100 more seats) when it isn't even a sellout and hasn't even recouped yet?
