If it's true that Jordan Roth went over North Country in favor of Hadestown, then that's great news for the latter. Roth knows what he's doing when it comes to his houses.
What a a horrible theatre choice. They should have just waited until next season. Heck, even the Cort would have been better since they don't plan on renovating that anytime soon
Lunt has a dark, mysterious mood to it, so could work for this show.

Pretty sure its been widely rumored for TINA to play here in the fall. Id expect Dreamgirls at the Hudson after Burn this.
Any word on Girl From The North Country? You'd think they'd need an announcement soon for a spring opening to generate buzz and sell some tickets.

See I thought that girl from the north county would have taken the Hudson... or the booth but yes I would have expected something soon
I can also see DREAMGIRLS at the Sondheim if BEAUTIFUL closes this Spring.
Tina Turner has the Lunt for early fall.
Girl From the North Country has waffled SO many times on what they're doing. First is was the Kerr but they couldn't pull the trigger, so the Kerr booked Hadestown instead. Then GFTNC was just going to wait until next season. Then it was a limited engagement at the Lunt, opening right before Tony cutoff, with the promise to come back next season at a different theater (since they'd have to vacate for Tina). Now it seems like they might just wait until next season again.
So unless there is another play that could be ready quickly (or perhaps some concert), I think the Lunt could go dark until Tina.
