The 2010-2011 Broadway Real Estate Thread

Anyhow... tell us something we don't know.

Isn't the Belasco undergoing renovations right now? If so, I doubt anything will go in there before WOMEN ON THE VERGE comes in the fall.

RED is a limited engagement through June 27, so you can add that to the Open Houses column.

Although I would not be surprised if the show extended if it does well at the Tonys.

From what I know, the Shubert Organization is trying to rush backstage renovations. Stage to the street is pretty much done, and I think they're trying to have a limited engagement of some sort before WOMEN/BREAKDOWN comes in.

Don't shoot the "messenger."

And since when is The Addams Family in danger of closing? It's grossing over a million bucks per week.

What houses do you think will be a good fit for Hank and Scottsboro Boys?

the Golden & the Kerr would both be perfect for Yank^

However, the thought of Scottsboro Boys playing the Kerr is just to perfect to resist...

I have it on good authority that the producers of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson are eyeing the Walter Kerr. They've been in talks with Jujamcyn about it. I wonder if this contributed to the closing of ALNM. I also heard they had Marin Mazzie lined up to play Desiree.

If they bring Andrew Jackson to Broadway I hope the theatre owners allow them to decorate the house as they did at The Public. It really created a wonderful atmosphere. I think they shoudl take th Helen Hayes. I imagine Next Fall will close shortly after it loses the Tony to Red.

When does Second Stage take over at the Hayes? It feels like I've been hearing "next year" for ages.
