i read on twitter that Rain is moving to the Brooks and ROA is going to the Helen Hayes. it also said Catch Me If You Can to the Simon, but isn't that where it was announced anyway?

Why would Rain, which is a limited run and not doing particularly well, move into a different theatre?

This all seems highly implausible.

And I don't think RAIN is doing as bad as we think. That theater is huge, and the show is only 4 guys, so with a low overhead, maybe it would benefit from being in a smaller theater if they want to have a longer run.

I hope Rain continues somewhere either on or off Broadway past January.
It's so much fun

Interesting. I don't really remember much about the Brooks, was only in it once, and I was under the mezz, but it didn't seem like such a big theater, so maybe that's a better fit for it.

I really hope this rumor is true and that ROA is on its way out. I left at intermission because I was so disgusted with the fact that this dreck had made it to Broadway. The first act was like nails on a chalkboard.

Let's open our theaters to REAL craft, yeah?

While RoA may not exactly be the most artistic piece of theatre on Broadway, it is still very enjoyable and I loved every minute of it. Constantine's voice...mmmmmm :)

Love the show! I do hope it continues at the Hayes. I took my 65 year-old mother to the tour in Chicago and she absolutely LOVED it and wants to see it again. It was my first time seeing Constantine in the role and I instantly understood his Tony nomination. He was fantastic and kept the performance surprisingly fresh.

Let's open our theatres to entertainment, yeah?

Why do people so often cite tweets and then not even link to said tweets?
