I remember seeing this rumored pre Tony’s.

I have to assume that unless we have some surprise closures/fall shows that doesn’t succeed quickly, we’re almost fully booked for the spring.

Love when a play can sort of make a surprise announcement like this for Broadway. Always down to see Sadie Sink, she's wonderful.

As for the season, I think Dead Outlaw is probably the only musical left to announce. It will likely take one of the two remaining opening nights left in the final week of Tony eligibility. Next to Normal it seems, is holding off on transferring until next season. Then there's probably room for one more play to come in (and as we see in this example today, plays can come together much quicker than musicals). So yes, the season is nearly complete!

From my viewpoint there’s still lots of unknowns for the spring!

The JEJ and Music Box have no announced spring shows.

There’s also a very good chance that 4/6 of these houses will be avail for spring: Palace, Lunt, Belasco, Longacre, Studio 54, Winter Garden. We don’t know what’s up with Oh Mary at the Lyceum either.

Smash, BVSC, Glengarry, Dorian, and Good Night & Good Luck need houses (all will likely end up at Shubert-owned venues). Plus things like Motive and the Cue and some other shows quietly circling.

Sure Smash hasn't announced yet, but we all know it's happening. It will announce the Imperial shortly. Same with Good Night and Good Luck...it's not "official" yet, except it's definitely happening. I was just talking about the more unknown quantities which have not made any public declarations of a Broadway production yet.

I've never seen Stranger Things. I mostly know her as Brendan Fraser's daughter in the movie version of The Whale.

Quickly browsing for this on Google, it looks like it’s been done quite a bit, regionally. I wonder if they’ll try to cast another name or two to make this something people would want to see for 2-3x what they’d pay at a regional house."

Yes, Studio Theatre in DC did a production two years ago. Having seen it once, it is a play I have no desire to see again.

Sadie Sink has 25 million Instagram followers, she is quite famous.

Nope, that's cold hard cash. The two leads of Romeo + Juliet have about 8 million followers between the two of them and if you check the grosses you'll note that they have sold every ticket and then some. Social media is a very powerful tool, especially for younger fans. I'm not saying this play will sell out, I was simply noting that with the major cultural success of Stranger Things, Sadie Sink is known by a lot of people. But okay.

Two big differences between R + J and this, though:

1) R + J is a known property, whereas no one has heard of this brand new play yet.

2) This will be running at the same time as the Broadway version of Stranger Things. Will Stranger Things fans choose to see Stanger Things or a play starring someone from the show?

I suspect that the majority of Sadie Sink’s Instagram followers cannot afford Broadway prices on their own, some may not even be old enough to be by themselves in NYC…but I hope it does well.

Although there have been regional productions, licensing outside of educational institutions has been mostly restricted for a couple of years now - I am assuming for the very specific reason ofTony Award eligibility as they worked to get it to Broadway.

I heard George Clooney and the lead of Smash both drank a milkshake with ingredients they are allergic to, had to drop and the productions are no longer happening. Hence why no announcement.
