Azenberg has made very public references to extensions but nothing has been announced. The current run is only through the beginning of April and though there has been some talk of Garrett taking over, I can't say that I see him in the role. He took quite a bit of time to grow into the Murray role but I don't think he has the acting chops to take on the Oscar role and remain on the stage for over 2 hrs.
We'll see. Right now, there is no new word on extension OR replacements. Unless they cast this show with actors that will have an equal draw for an extension after Lane and Broderick leave, I don't see it selling out. The show is a period piece, innocent and indicative of the roots of sitcom, but nonetheless a great piece of writing. I just think that much of the grousing about the show being dated will haunt it with actors that aren't as big a draw as Lane and Broderick may be. It would be a lot to overcome. I enjoyed the show a lot but then I was able to remember the actual time period when this show was current...so I guess I'm just old.
BTW, forget what Playbill says. Go to the Ticketmaster site and look for tickets. You'll see that they are only selling through 4/2.
