What is next at the Shubert?- Page 2

Smokey pay some respect to Broadway's biggest theatre star. She'll turn out a better performance than Bette and who knows what the sales will be - but if the first few months of Follies are any indication, and if Donna can keep the show treading water, then perhaps with Bernadette (who is one of the few theatre stars with genuine name recognition outside a small group of dedicated theatre fans) it will be just fine. It is a slow time of year though.

Could it be Dreamgirls will come into the Shubert?

Deleted.  Theatre Mania seems to be suggesting a discount with Bette performances, but when you get to Telecharge, it's only for those with Murphy.

The Shubert is too nice a house for this Dreamgirls revival.

Starring Bette or Bernadette? Maybe Oak can play Patrick?

I've heard Zaks has made some choices to add the additional songs from the Hello, Dolly! movie to this new production of Mame. I think it's a great choice, personally. Bernadette won't be Mame though, she's too subdued. Definitely the Vera type.

Even if Bernadette only manages to keep the show open 3 months (and considering she was able to keep Night Music running for 6 months, I think 3 months is easily doable with a show like Hello, Dolly!), that would leave Dreamgirls with virtually no time to load in, tech, and preview in time for the eligibility cut off for this season's Tonys. So if they really want to get in as part of the 2017-2018 season I would not put money on seeing Dreamgirls in the Shubert anytime soon.

Hello, Dolly! is closing August 25. Anything coming in for the fall?

I'm a bit puzzled with Hello, Dolly!'s closing announcement...very surprised. I'm guessing something big must be coming into the Shubert.

With the cher show announced for the neil simon do we think the rumored dream girls will open here?

What a great run for DOLLY...and 3 fabulous leading ladies.

Maybe Rudin will put TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD at the Shubert?

Could they finally film it for real?

Maybe Moulin Rouge?

Beetljuice has its tryout in the fall, though. So that timeline wouldn’t really work. Unless they got a limited engagement of a play in there before Beetljuice could start.

Moulin Rouge seems most likely, but on the other hand a fall opening conflicts with Karen’s appearance in Fun Home

edit: oh and I guess dreamgirls could work too, but then Casey would have to be opening The Prom and Dreamgirls Simultaneously. It will be interesting to see what show has its eye on the theatre.

Moulin Rogue in spring, dark in the fall? It’s way too big of a house for a play, and a musical the right size for the theatre wouldn’t be interested in a short fall run.

Also, there’s no reason to believe this, but maybe because Moulin Rogue wasn’t confirmed when Olivo took on the production of Fun Home, she’ll drop that production? Or she’ll do it in the interim.

It's not. Many plays have been housed there, the Blithe Spirit revival being the most recent.

the Crazy for You revival?

[uncageg]

Bette is closing the show out.

[CapnHook]

MOCKINGBIRD seems possible.

As does DREAMGIRLS and CRAZY FOR YOU.

MOULIN ROUGE won't be going to the Shubert.

What if it was THE SECRET GARDEN?!
