reading the future show section... at least three of them listed are incorrect. Anyone know this site?

I mentioned this site in other threads and it seems like a third-party site that has either has very little or no real information on it. I'm not sure if it was true at some point (as in planned but has changed) or if they are making it up, which for either seems like a odd choice, but I would not take anything they say beyond random speculation.
Even for things that don't seem wrong, a lot of it doesn't seem to make sense (as of right now), ie; Becoming Nancy transferring less than a month after closing in Atlanta, Music Man taking the Lyceum, the UK Dreamgirls taking the Cort, etc. Those really made me fishy about the site outside of the blatantly wrong information

NYTIX is a third-party ticket-selling website with zero credibility, and the information on it is purely speculative and should be taken with no grains of salt. But I guess if they were looking for attention, they got it! It's had plenty of chatter online in the past few days...
It should go without saying: unless a production has been announced via press release, nothing is official.
Among its numerous inaccuracies:
– It's trying to sell people a "Broadway Discount Guide" (the same publicly-available stuff that's on BroadwayBox and other discount channels) for $4.95 for 30 days.
– MUSIC MAN at the Lyceum and DREAMGIRLS at the Cort? LOL.
– It lists Some Like It Hot as opening cold at the Jacobs this fall, when Casey Nicholaw has said in interviews that the second act isn't written yet.
– two spring 2020 openings scheduled for Circle/Square?
– still lists the Winter Garden as the Cadillac Winter Garden (a title it only had for 4 years from 2002-2006).
– The factually-inaccurate paragraph with multiple spelling/grammatical errors from its homepage should be enough of a red flag to turn anyone away: "Broadway's Great White Way has over 45 theatres and about 40 Broadway shows are performing at any one time. Both new shows are opening and end-of-run shows are closing. often is the same week. Most Broadway shows do not last more than 3 months on the boards, while a few popular Broadway shows can stick around for many few years. The cost of putting on a Broadway show is quite high, so Broadway show producers often set the ticket prices high and will often discount show tickets to generate some momentum for a show if it starts to flag in ticket sales. ... The vast majority of Broadway shows do not make a profit and they may even lose money for the show investors."

I'm curious as you've mentioned that before I couldn't find the article for this, but I think I'm just bad at finding thing. Can you link it?

I believe (and I could be wrong) that he said this during his Live at 5 interview for Broadway.com. He said something like they just finished act one and he was going to a meeting the following morning.
