Is Shining City MTC on Broadway's last tenant until September? Will the theater be dark until then?

Well, Shining City is scheduled to run through the middle of July (and if it's well received perhaps it would extend for a few weeks beyond that). Whatever play that ends up opening the Biltmore season in September will likely begin rehearsals in late August, so it's not as if the theatre will be dark more than a few weeks.

As I posted this, I found the Biltmore's new season:

The American premiere of Simon Mendes da Costa's Losing Louie, directed by Jerry Zaks, will begin previews on September 21st, and open on October 12th at Broadway's Biltmore Theatre.

The classic Clifford Odets play The Country Girl will next be seen at the Biltmore Theatre, with previews beginning on April 12th, 2007. Directed by MTC artistic director Lynne Meadow, it will open on May 3rd. "

A third will be announced later.

I hope to god SHINING CITY will be extended so I can see it (although the god of theatre hasn't been coming through for me recently since WELL is closing)
