It is, it has the Hudson, but I don’t remember if it’s the fall or next spring (limited run either way).

If it's at the Hudson, it will probably be similar pricing to Merrily (with Daniel Radcliffe)? Or do you think it might even be more given the possible demand.

I think one hand Rpmeo and Juliet is a limited run, which Merrily is going to run for a full year if I'm not mistaken or around that time, especially if we add the Off Broadway engagement. Radcliffe has a huge popularity of different generations, plus he has Groff, Sonheim and the critics helping him to sell tix. On the other hand, Holland is a hotter star, maybe the most popular young actor now with Timothee Chalamet and a couple more, but his limited engagement will sell well I'd say. It depends on how limited it will be I guess?

I would expect ticket prices to be wild - it was one of the most difficult tickets to get the demand was wild. This is a major a-list celebrity and 'heartthrob' personality in one of the most iconic plays, playing Romeo. A very, very rare Broadway event. Daniel Radcliffe is incredible but even if he is not quite the same celebrity as this.

I suspect a large portion of the audience that the casting choice is aiming to attract might be in the rude awakening that this is a Shakespear play that requires a proper understanding of the English language rather than West Side Story where the bar is much, much lower.

I feel like this will attract the big Tom Holland fans, and then slow down so I imagine it will be a short run.

You would need to sell a kidney to have the money for a ticket! That said, given that this is a Jamie Lloyd production, I would expect there to be a certain amount of "Under 30" tickets for cheap prices. I was able to get one when I saw The Effect a couple of weeks ago. Jamie Lloyd wants to continue his vision of making theatre accessible to younger audiencegoers.

Would this come in spring 2025?
Sony/Marvel Studios want to start filming the next Spider Man movie right after this ends in London.

There is almost nowhere in this country you can go to school where you don't have to study at least one Shakespeare play before you leave the public school system so this attempt at condescending is a snooze. Maybe if we were talking Chekov or Ibsen.

I agree. I went to a public high school here in the USA and the one Shakespeare play every student had to read was Romeo&Juliet. The advanced English classes would read other Shakespeare plays like Macbeth, Hamlet, etc.
I still remember my English teacher telling us that plays are meant to be seen, not read, and encouraged us to watch a Shakespeare play in person someday.
If this play goes on Broadway, I can see school groups watching it during matinee or school trip (if they can get tickets!)
