It is no secret now that Spiderman is set to go to the Hilton next year, it is a long time to hold a theatre on hold to wait for the next production, so the Hilton needs a temporary show, what would you like to see go in, for say a run of 350 shows?
I would like to see a revival of Evita!!

"Any show that uses only one question mark. "
There is only one thing worse than a sarcastic person and that's a sarcastic person who fails to be funny!

TITLE OF SHOW revival
See, it's funny because [title of show] would be swallowed whole by the cavern-sized, soulless, spiritless, corporate whore that is the Hilton!

Posted: 2/19/09 at 9:28pmI personally see the Hilton sitting vacant for QUITE some time. There are plenty of smaller/cheaper Broadway houses open.

With 9 to 5 very likely to run at least until the end of the year, I wouldn't be surprised if White Christmas did the Hilton come the holiday season.
Can't think of anything that might work before that.

Posted: 2/19/09 at 11:25pmJust because SPIDERMAN isn't opening until next year doesn't mean things aren't being done inside right now to prepare for it...

Yeah, Michael Riedel said that the house has to undergo major alterations in order to accommodate Spider-Man.

Really? Like, how big of alterations? Is it not doing an out-of-town tryout? Wouldn't they need to start "working" on that theater first?
I'm kind of excited for the day I walk past the Hilton and see the Spiderman marquee up.

Posted: 2/20/09 at 12:16amThank you BLAXX. I won't say what suits you. Not printable, I'm afraid. You're quite a piece of work. Lovely photo, by the way.

Apparently they would need to alter the physical structure of the building in order to install whatever flying mechanism they're using.
Now this is Riedel, so take it with a grain of salt, but it doesn't sound totally implausible.
