This would be a nice fit at the Schoenfeld, Broadhurst, or Music Box.

Gun & Powder had also planned on transferring, so adding Ciara Renee into that mix of contenders for Best Actress would make it even more exciting. However, with Audra's Gypsy having passing for white as a theme in the production, combined with the stacked musical lineup next season, I wonder if G & P has decided to hold off till next year, or do another regional run in the meantime.

Do people here just forget every single thing you know about this industry when new shows get announced or what? Shows without dates and theatres announce *ALL* the time that way? Sunset Blvd as a recent example. And it’s almost always because they’ve been guaranteed a theatre but the current tenant hasn’t announced closing yet, but all parties have the understanding that it will close.

It has to be the Booth right

I’ve heard the Nederlander.

totally. I actually double checked my WI-Fi was working as I thought the error was on my end.

I'm not sure the understudy matters. Grosses will fall dramatically if/when Idina is out (See what I did there =0)
Just like Mr Saturday Night a few years ago. Without Billy Crystal there was no show--they literally cancelled including 1 week of performances when billy had a planned absence.

And nearly 30 years after Menzel made her Broadway debut in the same theatre, in Rent.

I hate how the theatre is gonna stay dark in the fall, why didn’t they get something to open earlier? Is Redwood a limited engagement? Thats a huge theatre to fill, especially for a small musical with only 5 people on stage. I thought this would have been better suited for the Booth, but I’m assuming they already have something lined up for that theatre, maybe operation mincemeat.

I don't feel like the Nederlander is all that big? I love seeing shows there. I feel like it's the perfect space for a show.

Nederlander is 1200 seats, which is an enviable-sized house for most shows. Bigger than some of the Shubert playhouses mentioned (Booth, Schoenfeld, Jacobs, etc) but much smaller than the big musical houses (Winter Garden, Lunt, Imperial, etc).

Idina's last show was at the Rodgers, which has 1300 seats.
