The Humans Transfer- NYT ad says 'The Cort' — Page 2

sassylash3s said: "For what it's worth, I had been hearing rumors about the transfer to the Schoenfeld weeks ago, so it seems unlikely to me that they changed houses at the last minute.

If the Cort was ever considered, I'm glad they didn't take it. I don't think this show would play very well to the balcony.



"the view from the front of the orchestra onto the upper level of this set is pretty terrible, you'd likely get a much better show from the balcony

Less than a month ago a member of Shubert security told an usher friend of mine not to expect a 90 minute show at the Schoenfeld as their next show. Since security has a master list of what's coming into and going from the houses, it was a strong hint that this wasn't the next tenant (Anastasia is rumored). So this was definitely a very recent decision, but that's not to say it was ever going to the Cort.

I was just wondering something. Could it possibly be, that their theatre of choice all along was The Cort but had to find another one since Bright Star was there? And, now that it's available they are going there instead?

If so, this reminds me of when Next To Normal announced their Broadway run. the were wanting the Booth, but that was taken, so they were announced to go into the Longacre instead. Once the booth opened up in time, they grabbed that up and set up shop there instead.

Schoenfeld is better location and better theater for this show in general.

There is no reason for them to choose the Cort over the more desirable Schoenfeld. So, no.

I don't know what's going on with the online ticket sales, but I walked by the Schoenfeld and the marquee is already up, so it is definitely going there.

I sat front row next to last seat for American Psycho and didn't have a problem. The very last seat on the end seemed to be partial view, but otherwise I think you would be okay.

And a word of caution that this highlights: giving advice about sightlines for one show for someone buying tickets for another show in the same space is fraught with peril.

"

per the Significant Other thread, Roundabout has stated it is coming in 2017 at a TBA Shubert Theatre.. a quick check of all the Shubert Theatres that are suited for housing a play (we can cross out theatres like the Broadway etc because no way in hell is a play going there)... only the Cort Theatre is currently open and has no announced tenants ... yet. Belasco, Gerald Schoenfeld, Booth etc are all taken / have incoming tenants.

Another possibility is the Music Box Theatre. Shuffle Along is closing soon and no shows have booked the theatre as well.
