Or do you think its meant to say a Nederlander theatre? Can't see it at this theatre at all

Posted: 6/15/10 at 5:23pmA Nederlader owned theatre sounds more likely.

Posted: 6/15/10 at 5:27pmTHE Nederlander is much too small. I heard they were looking at the Mariott Marquis.

Posted: 6/15/10 at 5:35pmI'd think that was too small too... I think The Palace would be ideal or Neil Simon, if Love Never Dies would just give up already!
#4Priscilla at The Nederlander Theatre
Posted: 6/15/10 at 5:35pmI know it's not a Nederlander theatre, but The Broadway would be ideal. Though Promises is doing great and if Hayes stays, it can likely survive Chenoweth's leaving in September.

Posted: 6/15/10 at 5:36pmThe Marquis would be ideal for this show. The Nederlander is way too small and doesn't have enough wing space for a bus.

Posted: 6/15/10 at 5:38pmNo real front of house at The Marquis... which is a shame as The Palace in London has a great FOH for Priscilla... saying that, no Broadway houses could do it really!

Posted: 6/15/10 at 5:41pmI heard the Marquis too, and that sounds more likely.

Posted: 6/15/10 at 5:41pmWhat do you mean by front of house? All Broadway theatres can take out a few rows of seats in the front if they want to.

Posted: 6/15/10 at 6:02pmI think AnythingGoes means a marquee.
#10Priscilla at The Nederlander Theatre
Posted: 6/15/10 at 6:03pmWait... if that's the case, then the Marquis has a FANTASTIC spot for the giant shoe. Right out in Times Square for everyone to see.
#12Priscilla at The Nederlander Theatre
Posted: 6/15/10 at 6:10pmThe Marquis just got a new marquee facing the Lunt-Fontanne.
#13Priscilla at The Nederlander Theatre
Posted: 6/15/10 at 6:12pmI love that photo. Yah. So there are now two places at the Marquis that could feature the shoe.

Posted: 6/15/10 at 6:20pmThey had just put up the giant shoe when I was in London for the first time. It was a great point of reference!

I heard they were looking at the Richard Rodgers, but obviously that would depend on In The Heights vacating.
I'd love to see it take the Marquis for two reasons: (1)there shouldn't be any problems with sightlines as there have been in London (2) location, location, location - right in the heart of Times Square. I imagine there would be Gumbies o/s the theatre startling tourists for many months. 
The only downside is the absence of a decent marquee - the Palace in London is one of my all-time favourites. The giant sparkly shoe is genius.
EDIT: I see the Richard Rodgers rumour has been addressed in another thread. It concerns me that the show could be shoe-horned into a venue which will cramp its style. Anyone got any inside scoop?
