Posted: 8/13/14 at 5:43pmNow that Finding Neverland won't be going there, is there any word on what's headed to the Winter Garden?

Posted: 8/13/14 at 6:06pmCould be any number of things.... Can Can, Bull Durham, Ever After, Hunchback, Amazing Grace, all have out of town tryouts at major regional theatres or commercial venues and all with sights on Broadway.. I'm 100% sure I'm missing SEVERAL productions from this list. I'm guessing they'll have some holiday filler of some kind and then a big new open ended production for the spring.

Posted: 8/13/14 at 7:05pmI would hope it would be CAN-CAN, as such a beautiful theatre deserves a piece that fits it (not just a great show, but one that stylistically fits the decor of the WG).

Posted: 8/13/14 at 7:14pmIt won't be Hunchback, as Disney has had a pretty exclusive association with the Nederlanders.

Miss Saigon?
Mackintosh has a pretty exclusive relationship with the Shuberts.

Posted: 8/13/14 at 7:36pmSaigon would fill the wide stage well. i'd prefer to see it there than at the Broadway

Posted: 8/13/14 at 7:36pmDames? Forum? Allegance? Hunchback won't come here until next year after Playmill.

Posted: 8/14/14 at 11:22amI heard a rumor that Finding Neverland was eyeing the Winter Garden, but that's purely speculation.

Posted: 8/14/14 at 11:28amIt's way too big for Dames, and Finding Neverland has a Nederlander house (Winter Garden isn't a Nederlander). I don't know much about Allegiance but it seems better suited for a smaller space. I could envision Hunchback in there, but Disney usually uses Nederlander so I'm not too sure about that. This is a tough theater to put shows into.

Not on topic, but yesterday I finally broke down and went to see Rocky. While there it occurred to me that I hadn't been inside that theatre since I saw MAME in 1966 --my first Broadway production. I saw Cats and Mama Mia -- but only in London, never on Broadway.
Damn that theatre is WIDE! And boy is that mezzanine far back!

Posted: 8/14/14 at 12:08pmIf Cats ever got revived, it would be cool if it played once again in the Winter Garden.

If MISS SAIGON heads to Broadway, the Winter Garden would be a perfect fit.

Posted: 8/14/14 at 12:22pmRight I'd think Miss Saigon would be perfect there. But I doubt they'll leave it empty until next fall-which is when it's supposedly coming I thought.

Posted: 8/14/14 at 5:48pmPerhaps An American in Paris. ?
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Instead of making a new post, figured I'd bump this one. Any ideas?

Feels like it’ll be Back to the Future.

The word on the street is that Back to the Future is going there, but that Andrew Lloyd Webber DESPERATELY wants it for Cinderella to do his revolving stage thing.
Personally, I would give it to neither of those shows. Leave ALW in the Imperial and put Back to the Future in the Broadway. Find something better for the WInter Garden.
