The 2009-2010 Broadway real estate thread

Here's what we know:

Barrymore - Race
Longacre - Burn the Floor
O'Neill - Fela!
Shubert - Memphis
St. James - Finian's Rainbow
Jacobs - God of Carnage
Friedman - Royal Family
Studio 54 - Wishful Drinking
American Airlines - After Miss Julie
Henry Miller's - Bye Bye Birdie
Hilton - Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark

Tenants for the Schoenfeld, Nederlander, Lyceum, Broadhurst and Belasco are still yet unannounced. I would imagine LCT's production of "in the next room (the vibrator play)" will take the Belasco. Circle in the Square apparently has OUR TOWN.

The Kerr and Music Box contain bubble shows, as does the Golden. And doesn't 2nd Stage's contract with the Hayes begin this season?

The Nederlander and Walter Kerr are both booked for fall. Second Stage's deal for the Helen Hayes wouldn't go into effect until late in 2010, from what I'm hearing.

I wonder where Brighton Beach/Broadway Bound are going.

What is going into the Neil Simon?

There's a rumor that A STEADY RAIN ( Jackman/Craig) will go to the Schoenfeld. Can anyone confirm this?

May I ask where you heard that OUR TOWN is transferring?

Thats news to me...

whatever happened to Dirty Dancing taking the Simon?

Heard that Brighton Beach/Broadway Bound is going in the Nederlander. Only a rumor, though.

and I wonder where Superior Donuts will end up.

Great thread.

Keep 'em coming, Yankeefan.

There's the rumor that keeps popping up that Everyday Rapture is going into the Hayes. Has that been substantiated at all?

[winston89]

I would guess that Everyday Rapture would take the Hayes when Second Stage owns it. And, from what I understand that doesn't take place until sometime in 2010.

But, I do wonder how well 39 Steps is doing. It is a show that has transfered twice during its commercial run and I do know that these days it isn't cheap to transfer a show regardless of the size. So I guess that what I am asking is that for arguments sake if 39 steps is doing well would Second Stage kick them out so that they could put in one of their own shows?

[Kad]

The 39 Steps is doing fairly well- the BO will fluctuate, but it's a dirt cheap show to run. However, I could easily see it closing after winter at the latest.

Thanks,

I could see Everyday Rapture being the first show that plays in the Helen Hayes when Second stage owns it. However, I feel that it would have to be a limited run. I can't see the show being nothing more then a limited run due to it being basically a one woman show.

Pianolin717, hedge your bets on SUPERIOR DONUTS taking The Music Box (though that's just an educated guess.)

Yankeefan, you can add SPIDER-MAN: TURN OFF THE DARK going into The Hilton to your list.

Posted: 6/10/09 at 1:19pm

That's what I was thinking.

[RippedMan]

Posted: 6/10/09 at 1:25pm

I'd say Superior Donuts in the Kerr.

[Smaxie]

Posted: 6/10/09 at 1:33pm

Not the Kerr.

[frogs_fan85]

Posted: 6/10/09 at 1:35pm

I'm going to say the Golden for Superior Donuts. I am basing this on absolutely nothing but pure speculation.

[ljay889]

Posted: 6/10/09 at 1:35pm

I wonder if A Little Night Music has a theater yet.

Posted: 6/10/09 at 2:12pm

Weren't there rumors that the Ragtime transfer was going into the Neil Simon later this summer? Is that transfer even happening?

[WiCkEDrOcKS]

Posted: 6/10/09 at 2:17pm

We haven't heard anything official about RAGTIME yet.

But keep hoping...

[somethingwicked]

Posted: 6/10/09 at 2:20pm

I think RAGTIME could take The Kerr.

The rumor on ATC today is that the producers have secured all the proper funds and have sent out breakdowns to agents for auditions in NY and LA for late July/ early August.

The next step for them is securing a house.

Ragtime needs a musical house and the Kerr is too small - and plus, the Kerr is booked with another fall show. Ragtime looks likely to come in, but it will be either in October or in January, depending upon when an appropriate musical house opens up. The Neil Simon is being held for another show, so it is unavailable.
