I heard a show was being booked for the Neil Simon for a 12 or 16 week run. Anyone heard or know what show is going in there?

What commercial producers are going to put up a LIMITED RUN of an expensive musical?
It doesn't happen. They would lose every penny.

To be fair, Foster, Krakowski started the rumor on live television.

Posted: 1/25/09 at 4:42pmLast I heard, the Simon's next open ended tenant was booked, though it was being pushed back (if it were to still happen at all), and a special event type show was looking at a very brief and PERHAPS a brief run of something else in the interim..

How about reviving something not revived in the last 10 years?
It will bomb if revived again.

Posted: 1/25/09 at 9:34pmDIRTY DANCING has been rumored for The Neil Simon for ages, but it also isn't happening until the 2009-2010 season.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
