The 2009-2010 Broadway real estate thread- Page 3

Walter Kerr seems like the most obvious choice for A Little Night Music.

If SISTER ACT transferred to Broadway, the most obvious choices would be either the Hilton or the Neil Simon.

If Addams Family would move to a Nederlander Theatre, I would hope it moves to the Marquis.

Spider Man has the Hilton.

I know that, but what if it is no hit?

Thought I'd bring this thread back to life for a moment since we know a bit more now with some more announcements. For sure, the following theaters are taken by these shows:

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
Nederlander: The Neil Simon plays

Rumored:
Circle in the Square: Our Town
Walter Kerr: A Little Night Music (pretty much a sure thing)
Lunt-Fontanne: Addams Family

Productions without announced homes:
Ragtime
In the Next Room (the vibrator play): my money's on the Belasco
Superior Donuts: I'd place a bet on the Music Box

Could Ragtime get the Neil Simon? So much has been rumored for that spot. Would it fit in the Broadhurst?

In addition to what's already been confirmed, it's widely speculated that the following will occur-

Neil Simon- RAGTIME
Broadhust- HAMLET
Schoenfeld- A STEADY RAIN
Belasco- IN THE NEXT ROOM (or the vibrator play)
Golden- LA CAGE AUX FOLLES
Walter Kerr- A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC
Music Box- SUPERIOR DONUTS

Might as well add the Music Box to the empty list since AOC just had a closing notice put up it seems..

The Donmar's production would be making the trip across the pond? With Jude Law in the title role, mehopes...

La Cage? In the Golden? Well, Avenue Q can't last forever, I suppose, but it's been doing some decent buisness.

[Fosse76]

Posted: 6/18/09 at 11:51am

Broadhust- HAMLET - Semi-confirmed: the staff was notified weeks ago that this is their next show (and yes, with Jude Law)

Schoenfeld- A STEADY RAIN - Semi-confirmed - the staff was notified today that this is their next show

Golden- LA CAGE AUX FOLLES - this theater is way to small for that show

Not this production.

Having seen the production of Ragtime... A Smaller house for this show would be very cool. It needs to be that way so it feels like the show is about to burst at the seams......

[Fosse76]

Posted: 6/18/09 at 12:48pm

"Not this production."

Avenue Q barely fits in the Golden. Even a minimal La Cage wouldn't fit.

"Could Ragtime get the Neil Simon? So much has been rumored for that spot. Would it fit in the Broadhurst?"

Ragtime's producers looked at the Simon weeks ago, and the manager said the next show is an existing production. So if they come through with the Broadway transfer, it's Ragtime at the Simon. It would fit at the Broadhurst, but the Broadhurst was booked months ago with Hamlet.

I think this production of LA CAGE... could (and will) fit easily into The Golden.

[Yankeefan007]

The largest set piece is the birdcage that comes out in the title number. In fact, that's the only set piece that isn't a flat or a background. This ain't the musical extravaganza that the last production was. This version makes the last one look like WICKED.

The question is, wherever it goes, will the pull out the first few rows and create table seats like in London?

I've seen this production- it is very "cosy". It would fit with no problem!

[WiCkEDrOcKS]

Posted: 7/3/09 at 11:11am

Bump. Could LA CAGE go to the Helen Hayes...?

Or are there still rumors that EVERYDAY RAPTURE is going there as 2ST's first Broadway venture at the theater?

[Smaxie]

Posted: 7/3/09 at 11:39am

This is an intimate production of La Cage, but the Helen Hayes is probably too small. I think La Cage will be in one of the 800-1000 seat playhouses. 39 Steps will probably run through the end of the year, so I don't think the Hayes is available for Everyday Rapture just yet.

[Yankeefan007]

Posted: 7/3/09 at 11:44am

The Hayes is too small.

You forgot A Little Night Music at the Walter Kerr

[givesmevoice]

Posted: 11/4/09 at 3:51pm

I thought Minksy's wasn't planning on transferring this season.

i would have loved to have seen Adams Family go to the Belasco. I think it would of added the perfect atmosphere for that show
