considering there's already five other threads on this & the vultures are circling already, what's next? The GYPSY revival with Imelda?? The MOTOWN tour? Another GUYS & DOLLS revival? A 2nd production of HAMILTON? Move WICKED into this theater?? Thoughts??
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

I'm going to play it safe and guess: A BROADWAY SHOW

But what if, and this is a big IF, disaster becomes a hit and wants to extend? Now town would need to find a new theatre.

No, Disaster would have to find a new theatre since I'm guessing Motown has signed a contract for Nederlander.

If something wedges its way in this season, I seriously doubt it would be an original musical. It would be either a play or a musical revival, in my opinion. Could the West End Gypsy take it?

I remember reading somewhere that there was a rumor Prince of Broadway was looking into taking the theatre for the spring.

I believe that would be Michael Riedel's column...

What about that Smokey Joe's Revival for the summer?

both SMOKEY JOE'S & PRINCE OF BROADWAY aren't due to arrive until Fall 2016. The GYPSY option was just a joke, as was the GUYS & DOLLS revival & a 2nd HAMILTON on B'way.

If BANDSTAND is still intent on coming to Broadway, could they snatch up the Longacre?

Doesn't Laura have a lot of concerts planned this year?

Whether she does or doesn't is not a major problem. Concerts get cancelled all the time (or a star replaced, if she was going to be appearing with an established company). Not saying that Bandstand is or isn't coming in, but if the money and the theatre are both lined up they won't worry about delaying because of her concert schedule.

What about a revival of The Civil War or Wonderland?

This season is pretty lack luster with new plays. Anything regional circling?
Prince of Broadway seems a little too big for that space.

Is Rear Window with Kevin Bacon still trying to come in?

Lack luster? This season seems like the most exciting one to date.

^yeah, was gonna say. The Humans, King Charles III, Eclipsed... Sure, the quantity of new plays might not be large, but the quality is ridiculously good this season. Even when you get further down the barrel into the Miserys and the Thérèse Raquins, it's a pretty great season for both musicals and plays across the board.

I don't know how long it has been like this, but http://nerdsbroadway.com is up and running, but says nothing about the theatre or timeframe.

Those 3 aren't even enough to fill out a Best Play category. That's all I'm saying. Not talking about quality.
