So a limited run of GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY this Spring/Summer? TINA arrives here in the Fall.

Totally baseless fantasy in my head: limited transfer of City Center's Chorus Line in the spring before Tina in the fall.

The City Center production of A CHORUS LINE isn't happening. Half the cast would need to be replaced.

JLP? Timing works with the Lab.

I assume you're saying Jagged Little Pill? From what I have seen and read it seems like a small show, some were even suggesting the Hayes Theatre whenever it happens. So I think the Lunt may be too big. 

 

Dreamgirls to me makes the most sense. Big musical house with a big marquee, and only 1 other show to compete with in its category. Id take Girl From The North Country as well though, while I have been absolutely loving the plays this season, Id like a musical to go here as well. The way this week has been going in terms of announcements, Id expect an announcement soon if not before Christmas.

Not getting the obsession with pulling hypothetical musical revivals out of thin air. We'll survive with only one.

Would Sutton's Sweet Charity get any traction?

TINA with Adrienne Warren is booked in there already. Opens Fall 2019"



The theatre will not be empty for 9 months. With the Palace out of commission, the Nederlanders can't afford to have 2 musical houses dark.

"

 

That's for sure!!! Look what happened sadly to the Mark Hellinger in the late 80's!
TINA takes it fall '19 but in the interim???

Girl From The North Country has been announced for a Fall 2019 Toronto run, so either it will see a limited spring/summer run or not until afterwards...?

TINA is going here. In Fall 2019. 

 

They will either have a filler show..or not. That I don’t know. All I know is that Tina has booked this theatre for an October opening. An announcement is going to be made in the next few weeks.

Is Girl From North Country no longer playing Toronto? There seems to be no mention of it on the Mirvish website or ability to purchase tickets in February

^It was cancelled for the spring but they just announced (via instagram) that it will be in Toronto next fall.

A smaller house is needed for Girl From North Country anyway. It's more like a play with music and the Lunt would swallow it.

I agree but I only said because the London production said they were going to Broadway with Amber Riley I believe so there's a little more speculation with that, but if we're pulling musicals out of thin air give me a Urinetown revival this February.

Wow, that'd be an even bigger theatre than Lunt (according to the number of seats on Wikipedia -1761 seats vs 1591).

Curious no one has mentioned this?

Possible a slate of music stars might snatch up the Lunt-Fontanne?

New article from Michael Riedel on the New York Post is saying GFTNC producers were "blindsided" by Hadestown going into the Kerr, and that it will play a six month engagement at the Lunt-Fontanne before Tina moves in.

"Commercial prospects for 'North Country' are iffy: The show’s about depressed people during the Depression and is about as uplifting as a razor blade to the wrist."

LMAO.

a negative prognostication from Riedel is the best thing that's ever happened to this show. 

[ACL2006]

Posted: 11/29/18 at 10:04pm

but what if the show's a hit? Does it opt to move theaters?
