This has been discussed to death on other threads. There was no need for a new one.

Tammy Faye hasn’t even closed yet. Yikes.

Yikes? To that?  While this has certainly discussed to death in another thread and didn't need a thread of its own, Tammy Faye's closure has been announced, and it is closing in 16 days. It hardly seems like speculating about what is next for a theatre that will be available in just over two weeks deserves a "yikes."

Agree! Tammy Faye is virtually over even though the physical production closes in 16 days so it's fine to speculate.

 

I believe the same user that announced Tammy's closing date said The Palace has a new tenant but it's not Ragtime

Frankly, given the struggles of both Tammy Faye and MHE, I would imagine that at least some investors have been given pause about transferring a costly show with no big names and a title that is only moderately familiar to a general audience.

Yes, this............ especially in a season that's already full of buzzworthy revivals all competing for awards, attention and dollars. 

Partly the reason why Cats:the Jellicle Ball put any transfer plans on 'paws' (see what i did there??!!?)

Transferring City Center's RAGTIME would be a colossal waste of money and a disappointing creative move (imho).

Not every show City Center produces needs a transfer. 

And, yes, The Palace’s 1,600+ seats would be a massive challenge to fill for a title and cast with minimal familiarity outside of theater nerd world. (Not to mention minimal sets - that stage is cavernous.)

If City Center had to transfer one show it should of been Little Shop
