What's going into the two soon to be vacant theaters?

"Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" and "Sweeny Todd" are leaving. What two shows are coming into those theaters, please? Any info would be great! Thanks!

"Search Function: The Musical" is going in the Imperial.

"A Couple of Threads Down: One Poster's Journey Into Oblivious Bliss" is going into the Eugene O'Neill.

It's gonna be GREAT!

Thank you all for your help!

Patronus wins!

A much better question (unless im out of the loop) is what is following Inishmore into the Lyceum?

---

Curtains is pretty large, and the Lyceum is too small for it. I imagine a play from one of the non-profits will find its way there. Keep your eyes on The Clean House at Lincoln Center or Regrets Only at MTC.

does PRINCESSES still exist?

i hope CURTAINS goes to the Lyceum...it could fit!, and then it could go to Broadway sooner, because with the new stunt casting in WEDDING SINGER, the show might be running a bit longer than expected....

:)

Lizzie, I think that is at least the 2nd time you've posted that same message on various threads! I'm close to making that my sig file. :)

Well, you keep WINNING!

So I've lurked on this thread for awhile, and now I (not so) proudly present...

"Search Function: The Musical"
inspired by Patronus

And now, ladies and gentlemen, a special preview...the title song from Search Function: The Musical.

[spoken dialogue]
Character 1:
I have a question
what do I do?
Character 2:
Ask it!
Character 1:
But...
Character 2:
But what?
Character 1:
I don't know if it's been asked before.
Character 2:
Well. I've got just the remedy for that!
Character 1:
You do, huh? What is this magical remedy, you say?
Character 2:
The Search function!
[music starts up]
Ever feelin' down? Obvious questions make you blue?
Well there, have I got the thing for you!
Type in what ya need, and voila, it's there!
All the answers you need, without the fare,
Read the threads, read the posts
What you need without the roast!

Search Wicked, search Rent,
make no thread, have no dread,
read what's already been said!

Character 1:
[spoken]
Search function, huh?
You sure I can't just start another thread?

Character 2:
Fine! Start another thread! Do what's been done.
But I'm tellin' ya, it ain't fun!
Enjoy the laughs, enjoy the ridicule.
Y'know some people (on here) can just be cruel!

So do us a favor, not meet your demise,
Use the Search function, and you'll be with the wise.

[spoken]
In closing, my friend, searches are what's good in life.
They make it simple.

[sung]
You'll find what you need in the search function,
You'll find it lickety spit,
You'll find it without the rejection,
and putting up with that S**t!

You see, ^that's what happens with sleep deprivation and xanax.
It sucks, but hey, at least it rhymes...sorta

In defense of original poster, all you smarties - the Search Function is useful only if you can guess the right key words. Try searching "Vacant Theaters" and you'll come up with this thread only. "New Shows" yields one other relevant thread. We all phrase things differently - English is a big language. "Search" is not the universal answer, so give people a break, and add that verse to your song.

catharsis - Really nice work. Here's the winner's button. :)

MissMommy - In this case, there were actually threads not more than 10 posts down that addressed the posters question. I understand that the search function isn't helpful 100% of the time, but reading the boards before posting a question isn't an unreasonable request.

leefowler - Ah, but how else will they learn? We have to fall in life and occasionally get trampled so that we can learn how to pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off. It's the way of the world.

ummm, you don't know that. What if they get Hilary Duff to take over for Julia??
