-Fiddler on the Roof is opening at the Minskoff.
-Drowning Crow and Sight Unseeen are opening at the Biltmore.
-King Lear is opening at the Vivian Beaumont.
-Sly Fox is opening at the Barrymore.
-Assassins is opening at Studio 54.
-Bombay Dreams is opening at the Broadway.
-Match has not announced a theatre.
-The Wiz is rumored for next season.
-The Foreigner, which I believe opens next season, I think is due at the American Airlines
-Caroline, or Change, if it moves, would go to the O'Neill.
-Sixteen Wounded I believe announced a theatre...was it Circle in the Square?

Also Playbill and the New York Post have mentioned the David Leveaux production of Tom Stoppard's Jumpers for the spring.

After listening to both demos of Dracula and Camille Claudel, I'm beginning to think Wildhorn needs to rest and regroup. Dracula sounds like a catalogue of songs dropped from J&H. Camille Claudel is so boring, I couldn't tell one song from another. It's like one long pop ballad than never ends. Considering, they are works in progress, I hope they have come a long long long long way from these recordings (as in entirely new scores). What happened to Wildhorn's Havana and Zorro?

The Dracula score has changed a lot since the demo, as well as La Jolla. Though it has a little of the J&H bombast, I think Wildhorn stretched himself further on the Dracula score, and he may fare a little better with this one. And in the recent reading, Melissa Errico was DREAMY.

i agree, matt, camille was like pulling teeth to get through for me. i hated it so much i chose to listen to a workshop of wicked rather than hear it again. of course, that was a year and a half ago, it might be completely different by now.

The only show (from that list) that I am actually looking foward to seeing is "Sly Fox." And possibly "King Lear" because I do like Shakespeare...although that is not one of my favorites of his works.

Whats the official "cut off" date to be considered for the 2003 Tony Awards... the show is in June so some of the shows you have listed in May couldn't possibly be in consideration.

what is the actual cut off date to be considered in the 2003 tony running?

[BillyLawlor]

Posted: 1/2/04 at 11:59am

I was going to say that "The Wiz" definitely won't be in the Tonys this year. Casting hasn't been announced yet, giving the show to small of an amount of time to ready themselves for an opening before the cutoff.

I saw Camille Claudel at Goodspeed and thought the score was the best he has ever written, given I havent heard Dracula. It was also an amazing show all together. What demo do you have Mister Matt?

I think the cut off is in the end of April. Because they announce the nominees in May. By the way, RAISIN IN THE SUN, a revival is trying to get to broadway on the the spring 0f 2004.

Anyone know if this will open this season? I was trying to think of which theaters are left and they all seem like they have shows coming in during Feb, March or April. Can anyone think of any Dark theaters?

[magruder]

Posted: 1/2/04 at 1:54pm

Sure! Although I know some shows are mentioned for some of these houses, the following are currently empty:

Belasco
Longacre
Brooks Atkinson
Cort
Eugene O'Neill
Circle in the Square

And a couple of other theatres may open up during the brutal month of January.
