How is Carl Levin still handling business for the Tony Awards? What does someone need to do to get kicked out of this town?

I think that it was exactly two years ago.

I have no clue. But, I would think that the investor said that he was going to put in money, and never actually put the money, allowing him to back out. Does anyone know how the contracts work?

An offer can be made only by the offering papers, and it can only be accepted by signature on the investment agreement. So at a threshold level, telling someone you'll invest is not a legal commitment. Depending on the agreement, it is also possible that there might be a right of refund under certain conditions.

Leading the cast as America’s best known nerds will be Tony nominee Rory O’Malley (Pictured Left) as Bill Gates and Bryan Fenkart as Steve Jobs. Other leading members of the cast include Patti Murin as Sally, Lindsay Mendez as Myrtle, Benny Elledge as Steve Wozniak, Rob Morrison as Paul Allen and Kevin Pariseau as Tom Watson. The ensemble for the production includes Tracee Beazer, Pierce Cassedy, Luther Creek, Joshua Franklin, Katie Lee Hill, Raymond J. Lee and Bethany Moore.

While they're not major names that will carry the box office, Rory O'Malley, Lindsay Mendez, and Patti Murin (hey there) are all pretty good and known within the Broadway community.

@Kad, that's true but you can say that for lots of shows that manage to get their act together (e.g. this Prom thing).

True. But The Prom at least is doing publicity now. Nerds barely had anything until a few weeks before their first previews were scheduled.

When my musical "Tink!" was in the 2016 NYMF and we had producing seminars, there was the strange aura of gloom over the seminar as they kept talking about the NYC production model and how "Nerds" was supposed to open the very next week. It was like everyone knew, but because they had written this whole seminar around "next week's success story," they had to pretend things were good.
