TIME STANDS STILL to re-open this September

Going into the soon-to-be-empty Broadhurst?

TIME STANDS STILL, which yesterday received a Tony nomination for Best Play, will transfer this fall to Broadway to a Shubert theatre to be announced. The play, by Pulitzer Prize Winner Donald Margulies, directed by Tony Award winner Daniel Sullivan, will star acclaimed original cast members: Laura Linney, Brian D'Arcy James, and Eric Bogosian.

TIME STANDS STILL, which enjoyed an extended sold-out run at Manhattan Theatre Club's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre this spring, will resume performances Thursday, September 23, 2010. Tickets for the production will go on sale Monday, May 31, 2010. The production will be on hiatus until the fall to accommodate Linney's commitment to her new Showtime series "The Big C" which is now in production and will premiere Monday, August 16, 2010.

Transferring with the production will be original cast members: Laura Linney, Brian D'Arcy James, and Eric Bogosian.

I'm glad because this is one that I didn't see. Was always GOING to see it and then something else came up. Hope it will be a nice way to start next season.

Too bad Silverstone won't be joining them. One of the best performances of the season, in my opinion.

This certainly explains why Brian D'Arcy James' engagement in next to normal is "limited."

now for next season would it be eligible for tony's? like revival or something like that? don't know exactly how that would work.

What's Silverstone up to?

^ As much as I may love Brian, he's hardly a "name" outside of Broadway circles, so I don't see him being a big ticket draw for your standard tourist.

I still think it smells fishy. Why was the word "hiatus" never mentioned when it closed? Everything said "closing", not "the show will go on a hiatus to allow Linney to film blah blah blah". I suspect had there been no nominations we would never have heard of this alleged "hiatus".

If they think they can turn a profit, more power to them. But the whole thing seems way too suspicious to me.

And I thought it was rumored that it would be going to the Cort Theater?

"And I thought it was rumored that it would be going to the Cort Theater?"

I was going to say, hasn't that rumor been going around since March/April? I agree with the idea it was in the plans all along (or at least very early on when they got the critical/audience response that they did), but they wanted to see how award season turned out to officially say or do anything about it.

Also, according to some of the articles on 'The Big C', it is filming now or soon (" THE BIG C will begin shooting 13 episodes later this spring for a fall 2010 debut,"), so that part is true. I'd imagine they didn't say this earlier on to draw audiences to see the show then as opposed to putting it off.

I don't get why this is a surprise to so many. It has been all over the internet for months.

jeffmiele- This would not be eligible for any Tonys as it is not a revival. A revival has to be 3 years after a show closes to be considered for any Tony awards.

rocks- people saying how the term "hiatus" is fishy. How they are just trying to get the Tony now. Comparing it to Pajama Game.

No, the Tony nomination is probably what finalized the re-opening.

I'd imagine it still would... It did very well the first time around, and I imagine it would again.

i'm glad it'll be back because i missed it at MTC
