They have all worked in Hollywood to some degree.. I presume they are referring to that. Perhaps they have film/TV projects lined up
lol the instagram account also replied: "truly we just meant sardi's"
Pilot season also begins in February in Los Angeles.
Also, isn’t the phrase ‘going west’ a reference to the time period of the show? Like the whole westward expansion of the country and settlers moving to find gold?

Eh, vaguely. There is no direct reference and the gold rush happened roughly 15 years before the action in the play. Also, I don’t think any inference to actual history, characters aside, is intentional.
Re: a West Coast production - there have been talks for one later in the year with Cole. Other cast pending but not likely to include Conrad. They have already had multiple rounds of auditions for replacements and offers are out
The proshot will also be filmed out west.

I figured the show, with Cole, would do a west coast run somewhere after it closed on Bway.
