Water for Elephants at the Alliance Theatre - Has Anyone Seen? — Page 2

Wonder if that could be for an investor presentation or en route to storage or just an old label on the crate? Almost impossible that a musical of this scale would be loading into a theatre before an announcement was made.

Are legit rumors of this playing the Imperial or Jacobs? (or coming to Bwy at all?)

Investor presentations generally do not happen at a Broadway theater but at a rehearsal space like Open Jar, New 42 etc. It would be too expensive to have it in a theater?

Isn’t that in front of the St James?

Casting notice on Backstage just says “2024”.

YOU'RE RIGHT! Wrong side of the Shubert.

Which makes it even less probable that this is loading into a theatre."

99.99% of the time this is just an old label that didn’t get ripped off the road case, probably in this case from the Alliance run. Many out of town tryouts use NYC shops.

My guess is the imperial or the broadhurst

Actually it says that every single role is on offer.

Well presumably those offers are to the Alliance cast.

I believe that that “on offer” or “offer out” means a verbal or written offer has been made, but an AEA contract has not yet been signed.”Cast” means the contract has been signed and it’s a done deal. I’m sure casting directors are not always consistant with these terms, but they is what I have always interpreted them to mean.

Thank you.

Tommy I believe is eyeing the Broadhurst for the Spring, so I could def see this going into Imperial. We should find out soon!

But I can’t find it on any official social media pages so"

It got taken down as quickly as they put it up. I'm sure some poor ad agency intern is getting a talking to today

There’s already been casting calls saying Broadway 2024. Their theater of choice just must be currently occupied or else they’d have announced it.
