I'm with you adamgreer. Our of all the internet communities I've been a part of, this is easily the one that knows how to drag out jokes far, far, far, FAR too long.

Oh, if you don't like the jokes, don't try and ruin the fun of the people who are.

Finian's Rainbow will be closed by December for Fitzgerald to start rehearsals and I don't this Leveal's on a very long contract from what I've heard.

Ms. Leavel and Mr. Fitzgerald both have clauses in their contracts that allow them to exit their respectivbe shows to do MINSKY'S.

But why would they leave Broadway shows that they just joined? I would think that they would stay with their shows, expecially Chris cause he is in a revival that is coming to Broadway again after a long time. I don't think they would stay for a little while and leave after like 2 months.

Revival that won't last long v. A new musical
5th replacement in Mamma Mia v. A new musical
The new musical wins.

After speaking to one of the producer the Marquis is being eyed by Priscilla Queen of the Jungle.

WOW... The Marquis really has had an awful track record lately. And it's such a great location right in the smack-dab middle of Times Square. Odd.

Is that the sequel to Priscilla Queen of the Desert?

It is the only theatre available on Broadway that would fit Sister Act with its current set design.

I've heard Sister Act won't reach Broadway til fall 2010.
I'd personally love Catch Me If You Can to take it, great location.
Exiting the theater is not that hard: make two rights upon leaving the theater and follow the hallway down to the exit sign. The steps beyond the door lead right into the underpass. The same thing is on the left side.

Looks like it'll most likely be WHITE CHRISTMAS and then MINSKY'S.

Interesting that they're looking at other possibilities than Chris Fitzgerald for Minsky's

So I'm guessing Minsky's will probably open up in March/April if White Christmas was to do what they did last year when the closed the first Sunday in January

It seems Catch Me will have to wait for one of the other large houses to open up. Perhaps the Broadway if Shrek doesn't last the winter, or either the St. James or Shubert, depending on how Finian's Rainbow or Memphis do, respectively.
(My money is on it going into the St. James. Not sure why, just a feeling.)

MINSKY'S is supposedly going into rehearsal in December, so I would guess they'd start previews in February and open in March.
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.

Sorry for asking, but what's "Minsky's"
#73
Posted: 7/31/09 at 8:21pm
A new musical, according to press notes: "Inspired by the real-life Minsky brothers, whose legendary nightclub drew burlesque dancers, bawdy comedians and some notorious police raids, the musical follows Bob Minsky (played by Christopher Fitzgerald) as he struggles to keep his risqué establishment in business."
I get the feeling that CATCH ME won't even come this season ... and if it does, it will be right before the Tony cutoff. Just a hunch.

I saw Minksy's in LA. It's a cute entertaining old-fashioned show but the score is quite middling (without ANY hits). I don't see it succeeding on Broadway.
"It does what a musical is supposed to do; it takes you to another world. And it gives you a little tune to carry in your head. Something to take you away from the dreary horrors of the real world. A little something for when you're feeling blue. You know?"

Good point, Rocks. Maybe they'll try to emulate Hairspray (again) and open in the summer?
