WAR HORSE To Take The St. James Theatre — Page 2

If War Horse vacating the Vivian Beaumont means by some random chance that the Arena Stage production of Oklahoma! could transfer to Broadway, I would be so happy. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen, and I'd love to see it on Broadway. Truly a revival done right.

I don't know if they'll be able to find the investors, though, or how the Beaumont works in terms of its affiliation with LCT, but if everything worked out, that would be marvelous. That production works so well in the round, but I think Circle in the Square would feel too small for it, and I think it would adapt well to the Vivian Beaumont.

Well, what show?

If "War Horse" switches to a proscenium stage I'm sure they'll find a way to make it work. I saw the "Spelling Bee..." tour in Boston after having seen it twice on Broadway. While I did prefer Circle in the Square, it worked just fine with some minor adjustments on a different stage.

Just a question...was the Speilberg movie that much like the show? I heard that it was based on the same true story but not on the play...kind of like the movie "The Elephant Man" back in 1980, which came out right after the show won a Tony.

The international Warhorse tour is re-designed for pros staging.

Wrong R&H show. War Horse is vacating The Beaumont to make way for a revival of The King and I with Kelli O'Hara.

I've heard good word that the Arena Oklahoma would only come to NYC if it could have the Circle in the Square, as that is how it is presented in DC. So, if/when Godspell closes, perhaps it will come in after that.

And Bring it On at the St. James? Hm.... Not sure how I feel about that.

I find it odd that How to Succeed's ads on broadway.com say that it MUST end May 20th. As if it's being forced out. I know the sales have been pretty bad, but MUST has some force. Maybe War Horse really is taking the theatre.

Pick-a-little talk-a-little post-a-little chat-a-little cheap cheap cheap talk-a-lot, post-a-little-more.

Can someone please do that song and "Rumor Has It" as a mash-up?

SO many meetings about SO many possibilities. After this spring's giant cluster of shows occupying almost all of Broadway's 40 theaters, producers aren't wasting any time trying to nab the best houses for this summer/fall.

That's why VIRGINIA WOOLF? and more very-soon-to-be-announced shows are announcing their Broadway engagements. Generating buzz will put slight pressure on the Shuberts, Nederlanders, and Jujamcyn clans to give them the theater they want.

If I had a time machine, I'd go back and tell my great grandparents to invest in real estate. BROADWAY THEATRE real estate.

@CapnHook same!! my family was in the textile business (sails for clipper ships & the Barnum & Bailey big top) but I totally would have told them to do some investing in a broadway theater!

It is still possible though cuz bio is a limited run and War Horse is selling fix at the BOUMONT till about a month after bio is sched to close no matter what the move wasn't going to happen like that it would make sense if they waited till right before Christmas to ensure that people know that they moved

I don't see it being THAT popular.

Bring It On only has the theatre until Oct. 2. A Christmas Story is trying to get it for the holiday season. So if War Horse is really moving in to the St. James, it won't be until 2013.

O.......K.
