Where is this cast album? Will it be released exactly 6 months after closing? Someone must know, please please tell me.

Apparently they have the Belasco.

OH HELL YES!!

 

I just mentioned this show in another thread about what we should see next time we are in town.  Too bad we leave a few days before this event.

Can confirm. They are waiting for Maybe Happy Ending to (sadly) fold.

Yeesh the MHE death march is so sad. You have to wonder if the theater was offered even before they started performances.

Yeah, obviously there's only so much real estate available, but actively counting on a show to fail in order to mount your own feels gross.

It's not that the producers of any given show hope that a show closes so they can come in, it's that they're offered what they're offered and so long as it matches the specs needed for a given production. That decision is solely on the theater owners. Producers can have a wishlist and some have meaningful pull with the owners and can select what they want more than others (Sonia Friedman, R*din as two examples), but they get what they get for the most part.

I mean... what's the alternative? Shows can't run forever and there are far more prospective productions than theaters.

I was there tonight, anyone else? Very vague "come see us on Broadway" messaging and it sounds like the Audible recording won't be coming until 2025 (sigh). I LOVE this score, but curiously the big marathon runner number that everyone thought was superfluous but also a banger of a song wasn't performed, and that's the one I was looking forward to hearing again the most ... Regardless, I will follow wherever this show goes next.

I'm surprised they didn't announce the theatre tonight.   The Belasco would be a perfect fit for Outlaw.  But if you're going to open before late April, in a crowded season, wouldn't you know where you were going by now?  Wouldn't cast members have been alerted to a rehearsal date?  Looking forward to wherever they land!

You cannot announce for a theatre that is publicly taken, even if the writing is on the wall. You have to wait for the closing announcement.

Did they specifically state or imply that it would be coming to Broadway this season? It could be they can't secure a suitable theater until the fall.

On Facebook Yasbek stated they might be coming in this year, they might be coming in next year....

No, hence why I mentioned their vague messaging. Yazbek has made reference on his socials that they are waiting for just the right theater (in my mind that's the Booth) so I'm prepared to wait until next fall if need be.

We are back in NYC in early April, then not again until a year later.  I REALLY hope this hits one of our windows to see it again!

Out of curiosity, did they perform any songs that weren't in the off-Broadway version?  Very bummed I couldn't make this last night.

I spoke to Yazbek (Thom Sesma, Eddie Cooper, and Jeb Brown were all there also) and he said he does not yet know if it is this season or next season.  He couldn't have been BSing me, but that's what I've been hearing pretty consistently.

I spoke to a member of the cast last month who said the same thing so this really is a matter of when and not if, it still seems.

This to me says their timing entirely hinges on MHE closing. As I said in the grosses thread, I feel like they're going to make a run for it to the Tonys and hope to win (it's easily the best-reviewed new musical thus far) and it's not hard to imagine it easily winning over voters. Based on the rumored intention to announce Dead Outlaw's transfer at the concert and the fact now that Yazbek says timing is up in the air, one could assume MHE plans shifted with the reviews. Momentum is currently on their side, but it'll have to sustain.

Would love for this to come in this spring.  It has Best Musical all over it.  It would have the the most interesting music, book and directiong of any new musical currently open.

Aside from needing a theatre, there’s also the fact that David Cromer is obligated to Goodnight, and Good Luck, which has an opening night of April 3. It makes him effectively unavailable during the entire window of time when a show angling to open before Tony cutoff would be rehearsing and starting previews.

Wouldn't Yazbek rather wait a season so he's not competing with himself? I don't imagine Buena Vista Social Club will be a major contender, but you'd have to imagine he and those involved do. The vagaries of when theaters are offered probably mean they'll take what they can get, but you'd have to think that was a factor.

Yazbek is not Tony-eligible for Buena Vista Social Club, as he didn't write the music. Nor do I get the impression that he's one of the major creative forces behind the show. I don't know if his contributions have been discussed or written about in articles or interviews (if they have, I haven't read/seen them), but my impression is that they brought him in as more or less a music consultant.

Rumors are stating that this has taken the longacre.
