Probably the Broadhurst.

My birthday it opens! Anyone feeling generous...?

[Smaxie]

Posted: 10/6/05 at 5:45pm

It ain't the Broadhurst.

[aces25]

Posted: 10/6/05 at 5:46pm

Then what is it? The Al Hirshfeld?

[FOAnatic]

Posted: 10/6/05 at 5:49pm

It's slated for a Jujamcyn theatre.

My guess would be the Hirschfeld...I don't think the others will be availabe by March.

MY GUESS IS THE Hilton/Ford THEATRE AS THE rumor is that Chitty is closing in January.

Sweet Charity isn't going anywhere.

It wont be the Hirschfeld.

[FOAnatic]

Posted: 10/6/05 at 10:08pm

First off, it would NEVER be the Hilton. And it's not even a Jujamcyn theatre.

Second, rumor is CHARITY will close when Christina leaves.

Third, there's no other Jujamcyn that will be open. Unless SWEENEY and JERSEY BOYS gets incredibly bad reviews, which I think is unlikely. And THE PRODUCERS and DOUBT aren't going anywhere. It's the only logical solution.

Oh yeah. That's a good rumor!

and an awfully fake one. Considering it's been announced that the Weisslers are already looking for a replacement for Christina.

[FOAnatic]

Posted: 10/6/05 at 10:13pm

Then where, may I ask...do you see it going ljay? Since you know oh so much. Did I say it was definitely going there? No. I said was my prediction.

oh and wedding singer at the hilton might be the scariest thing i've ever heard

If it's going to a Jujamcyn Theater, that sort of limits its options.

They own:

The St. James- and The Producers sure isn't closing anytime soon, so that's out.

The Hirshfield- The Weissler's aren't going to just close up Sweet Charity if they can find a new name to step in (and we know they're after Claire Danes right now, and probably others), so that's probably out.

The Virginia (or whatever its new name is)- Jersey Boys is there now. Who knows how long that will last. Maybe it will go there if Jersey Boys is a flop.

Eugene O'Neill- I think Sweeney Todd will still be around come the spring, so that's out.

Walter Kerr- not a musical house, so that's out.

[FOAnatic]

I think JERSEY BOYS will be around, too. It got great critical feedback in LaJolla and it's getting great audience feedback in NY so far.

[InfiniteTheaterFrenzy]

water kerr has had a few musicals... chu chem was there! haha...

and wasn't the show that the theater opened back up with in the '70s a musical? with nell carter and peter allen i think?

well, that's not the point, i guess. doubt probably isn't going anywhere.

are we SURE it's going into a jujamcyn house?

"Producers Margo Lion, New Line Cinema and the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle announced that the production will open at a Jujamcyn theatre in April 2006; previews are set to begin in March."

I've heard the demo or whatever for this, and it sounds pretty good! I'm excited!

[RentBoy86]

So the Broadhurst is out? That seems like the most logical to me. I'm not sure if its the right company, but I can't imagine them post-poning this show until a Jujamcyn theater is open. This show doesn't come off as needing a big theater, seems like a smaller show - sorta "in my life" ish.

let me just put this to rest: chitty is NOT closing this January.

[blaxx]

I LOVED the demo too.
"It's your Weding Day", "Single" and the new duet version of "Growing Old With You" are awesome.
I really look forward to this show, I love the eighties sound.
