Oh, I'm just making s*it up as I go along like everyone else in this thread (except for like 2 people).

Is it possible that Catch Me if You Can is going to open for the Spring?

[Smaxie]

No.

I think the St. James is perfect for American Idiot.

I think the St. James is much too big for American Idiot. It is like a Rent/Spring Awakening type show and should be in a smaller venue. St. James is one of the biggest theaters.

Does anyone know what's going into the Broadhurst now that hamlet is closed?

[mywonderwa11]

Posted: 12/8/09 at 5:20pm

I don't remember the explanation as to why...(it has to do with St. James himself)...but I also heard that Michael Mayer and American Idiot wants the St. James Theatre.

Looped has booked the Lyceum.

And Enron now has the Broadhurst.

Maybe for American Idiot, having a theater with a name so close to St. Jimmy is too tempting to pass up

The Barrymore may also be in play for spring.

Lend Me a Tenor and Come Fly with Me both have theatres, though they haven't been announced.

Lend Me a Tenor and Come Fly with Me will be taking the Music Box and Marquis, respectively.

Fela! and Memphis are going to hold on as long as possible. At this point they're both assured several Tony nominations a piece since (in addition to their overall good reviews) there's not a whole lot of other competition on the new musicals front.

Do you guys think that HAIR could possibly close in the Spring?

[Fanb]

Thanks for the thorough recap, Vodkastinger!

[wdwfreak]

Hair will most likely not close by the spring.
1) They aren't doing terrible.
2) They recouped already.
3) They are making above their weekly nut.

[Smaxie]

Posted: 12/17/09 at 2:19pm

Lend Me a Tenor has been officially announced for the Music Box.

[BroadwayBound115]

Posted: 12/17/09 at 2:58pm

Come Fly With Me hasn't publicly announced a theater yet, has it?

[WiCkEDrOcKS]

Posted: 12/17/09 at 3:10pm

No, but its going to the Marquis.

[Pgenre]

Posted: 12/17/09 at 3:14pm

You probably should update the thread. LOVE NEVER DIES announced officially today that it will open November 11 at the Neil Simon.

"Come Fly With Me" hasn't made any formal confirmation.

Marquis Theatre is where its going to end up, though. I mean, Twyla Tharp has had her last two shows in Nederlander owned theatres, and if I was running publicity for the show, the idea of Frank Sinatra in the middle of Times Square would be key, and amazing.

Posted: 12/17/09 at 3:20pm

" Come fly with me " is also going on a US tour.

Trokia Entertainment.

PGenre, where do you see it announcing the Neil Simon? All I've seen is the Adelphi in London and then opening November 11th in New York, with no theatre specified. I don't doubt that it will end up there, but I think there still has been no official announcement.

Posted: 12/17/09 at 3:26pm

So where will Fences be going?

[theatreguy]

Posted: 12/17/09 at 3:39pm

Fences is looking at the Neil Simon.
