Jordan beat me when it came to creating a thread for this topic. Like I said the show had a very good run. I do wonder if the rumored 'The King and I' revival playing at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre is true.

Posted: 9/4/12 at 7:35pmUnfortunately the revival can't happen until at least the spring as long as Kelli O'Hara is still attached.. She is doing a show at Playwright Horizons.. Personally I'd rather see it sooner than wait to see it with her.

If O'Hara is unavailable then I'd like to see Laura Michelle Kelly play Anna. She sounds and looks amazing in the Muny production from last month.

Posted: 9/4/12 at 7:44pmAs soon as a show opens we speculate when it will close, as soon as it announces closing we speculate what will replace it. Until that show opens and the cycle begins again.

Posted: 9/4/12 at 7:55pmOf course, it's part of the fun of theater going. Out with the old and in with the new. I love WAR HORSE and mean no disrespect to it and I hope those who wanted to see it got to.. But now we get to see something totally new or a new production of something else, it's exciting and fun to speculate about what's coming in.. Especially when it comes to that gorgeous theater.

Well of course you don't want to wait for it to die. Nobody wants to eat rotting meat

Posted: 9/4/12 at 8:05pmI spoke to someone who works at Lincoln Center who goes out to public schools and teaches lessons connected to the show currently playing at the theater and then the class goes and sees the show. Apparently she was told to put together a lesson based around The King and I.

Posted: 9/4/12 at 8:22pmDouglas Carter Beane's new play THE NANCE with Nathan Lane will be at The Beaumont in the spring, directed by Jack O'Brien.
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.

Posted: 9/4/12 at 8:24pmAre we sure about this, BWW? I had tickets for 1/19...called telecharge to see about switching dates. They say it's not true. They are selling through 1/26.

Posted: 9/4/12 at 8:38pmTelecharge had probably not yet been informed.
#15WAR HORSE To Close 1/6/13
Posted: 9/4/12 at 8:46pmYou'd think they'd be the first people they'd tell. Is there usually much of a lag in these things? There are some good seats available on another day. I should probably just snatch them up and take the refund for the others rather than trying to exchange them.

#16WAR HORSE To Close 1/6/13
Posted: 9/4/12 at 8:58pmThe lag is no more than a day usually. The press release went out less than two hours ago, so it's not that surprising that the news hasn't filtered all the way down to the phone operators.
#17WAR HORSE To Close 1/6/13
Posted: 9/4/12 at 8:59pmAt least this went out like a true Kentucky Derby winner, not some mange thing that fell at the first fence and ends up being shot. Not many plays perform over 500 times on Broadway.

Posted: 9/4/12 at 9:05pmI'm surprised it held up this long.... Hoping to catch the tour though just to check it out.

#22WAR HORSE To Close 1/6/13
Posted: 9/4/12 at 9:35pmAre you certain THE NANCE is coming in? Seems like an odd choice of venue for a play like that. Sure, you have a subscriber base, but Nathan Lane is a big enough name to not need to rely on season ticketholders to get a sales boost...
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 9/4/12 at 9:53pmNathan Lane in a MUSICAL is a bigger seller than Nathan Lane in a play. Butley and November hardly did gangbuster business. But sales for Addams Family dropped during his vacations.

Posted: 9/4/12 at 10:40pmSuch a brillant show. It'll still do very well on tour & overseas.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Lincoln Center doing the play in the spring has been public knowledge for some time, so I'm not sure where your comments about relying on subscribers for a show with Nathan Lane are coming from. Even so, how is The Beaumont an "odd choice of venue for a play like that"?
