The title of this thread should be changed to "WRONG INFO ABOUT THEATER SELECTION"

somethingwicked, you thought Hair going into the Shubert was "common knowledge," but days later you "called it" all along that Blithe Spirit would go there?

Those are some really obnoxious comments. Somethingwicked has often given reliable information on the board way before it had been announced on the press. Sometimes sources are wrong, sometimes things actually change, the asshole-ness is uncalled for.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

I do wonder where "Reasons to be pretty" will go, and I hope someone takes the Circle in the Square soon! I really want to see that theater, ha!

Really? You're preaching not to be an asshole on BWW? Look around... this is an internet community, it's expected.
And if you're going to contradict yourself in two separate threads, expect to be called out on it. If you're that concerned with someone being harsh (and neither my comment nor Yankee's were really mean, especially compared to the other trash on this board), then don't post information from an unconfirmed source.
In short: get over it.

perfectliar, HAIR taking The Shubert was common knowledge. What I was referencing in saying that was how widely believed this "fact" was because of something Michael Reidel printed in The Post, but nowhere did I say that the notion was actually true.
Anyone that actually knew anything about the situation was aware that Liz McCann committed to a deal with Jujamcyn months ago, so The Shubert was never even an option for the show.
What I meant by saying I "called it" in regards to BLITHE SPIRIT was that I'd said in the thread announcing Lansbury's casting that the producers would try to make a play for The Shubert (based purely on my own common knowledge and no "inside information,") which they did. I wasn't referencing anything but that initial post.
And the truth is that the producers of reasons to be pretty did have a bid on The Lyceum that fell through within the last two weeks due to a contractual snag.
As you said, this is a message board and should be treated as such. Things in this industry change, and anything you read here should be taken at face value. If you're choosing to hold it to a higher standard than you should, that's your issue.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Playbill announced today that Vanities will take the Lyceum.
I absolutely love the Lyceum. In fact, I would say that it's my favorite Broadway house, both because of its beautiful design and because so many productions that I love played there. I'm not sure if it's necessarily the right house for a big musical, but I hope it does well.
