Sweet Charity to transfer next season

And the good news is......

“I’m pretty happy with what Leigh did,” said Coleman. “I think she is speaking to a modern audience. But one thing I did learn from Cy is to fight for the orchestra, fight for every instrument you can get in there.”

And so when “Sweet Charity” moves to Broadway next season, “we’re going to have a lot more brass,” she said.

I am so happy to hear that. I liked aspects of the production, but the brassless orchestrations were a disaster. I hope they are completely changed for the transfer. Also, restore the title song to its original tempo, and rethink "Where Am I Going?" It did not work as a pop chorus number.

Great news if we can trust it, and so happy about the brass!

Wonder if they would have come in this year if the producers of In Transit weren't so eager to lose as much money as possible.

Maybe the Booth, golden, or Court (if Indecent doesn't work out for very long), or possibly even the marquis for if on your feet closes.

I don't think this tiny, minimalist (not saying either of those things as an insult, either) production would work in a barn like the Marquis.

I love that article! Go women!

If their going for a small and intimate production, I'd say the Booth or Cort are the best. Hoping that Amelie makes it but if it does close, Kerr could replace Cort as 2nd best option in terms of a small house.

This is great news. And yes, please please I demand that Emily, Nikka and Joel reprise their roles. (I don't demand a lot of things...) the whole ensemble is great. I like Schuler but think he was miscast..I can't wait. My husband will be thrilled to hear this news.

Wonderful news! Let's get Sutton that third Tony!

What if there's a plot twist, and this turns out to be fake news?

I agree. I mentioned the Hudson because it has fewer seats than the Cort and could see it working in that space. My top choice, personally, would be the Kerr. I think it'd be a wonderful space for it.

I heard that Sonia Friedman is considering the Hudson for Dreamgirls next season but nothing set

I'm beyond overjoyed at the thought of a new cast recording of this show. The 05 Revival is a decent recording of the show, and if truth be told, the Revival cd is far more enjoyable than it was for me to actually sit through the out-of-town pre-Broadway engagement in Minneapolis is 2005 with Christina Applegate, however as exited as I am for this to transfer, I'm even more excited at having Sutton's renditions of this classic score on repeat in my iPhone!!! ????

Will the wig transfer too? Too soon?

I think the Belasco would also work well. I wonder if they will come in during the fall or spring.
