Singin in the Rain

Are there any open theatres?

When did it want to come in? Playbill still says "fall"...

Any chance they might take the Music Box? Just because I like the sound of that haha and because it will be available soon. It's mostly been a play-theater (which the recent exceptions of Pippin and Shuffle), does it have a pit? I didn't pay attention to that during Shuffle...

Is it set to come in by January?

The Music Box has hosted its fair share of musicals throughout its history, and was built by Iriving Berlin to house his "Music Box Revues." So unless it was removed in some renovation I would assume there is still a pit there.

isn't this production based on a new one that is going to premiere (or has it premiered?) in Paris? and that the rain would not be actual rain, but projections instead?

also, I wonder if AEA / unions over in NYC would allow actual water to be used due to potential dangers e.g. slipping/ falling etc, especially when dancing? I'm just asking this because I remember that POTO on Broadway, during the MOTN scene, the Christine "safety-falls" on the ground while in London, the Phantom always bends and catches Christine midfall - and the reason why the catch isn't done in NYC is because unions there wouldn't allow it due to concern for the actor playing the Phantom. so would the same logic apply to "actual rain" being used for SITR?

(yes, i am aware that Therese Raquin did use an actual body of water and actually used that to simulate a drowning scene)

Yep and they did it in London also.

possibly as I don't see KINKY BOOTS lasting into 2017. If JERSEY BOYS closes, it could also take the August Wilson.

Would the stage be big enough? The Theatre du Chatlet is pretty big. Isn't the show relatively big?

On the subject of rain - both WOLF HALL and poor LEAP OF FAITH had full rain effects (although I believe WOLF HALL stopped them at some point early in the run). And the London production of this musical had a significant rain effect, both during the production and at the final curtain call.
