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."

The revolving seats used for Cinderella in London is not something that can be duplicated in any Broadway house. It is a feature extremely unique to the Gillian Lynne Theatre alone.

It's more than just a revolve built into the deck... In London the Gillian Lynne Theatre has a section of actual seats in the theatre that are able to rotate. They used this feature for Cats there and, most recently, Cinderella. It's not something that can be replicated easily in another theatre without a ton of renovations being done (which is possible, I suppose, but not likely).

Yes Find something better for the WInter Garden.

Andrew Lloyd Webber would probably seethe "THEN MAKE THEM TALLER!"

anything new on this? could Joseph end up taking this theatre?

Back to the Future tickets go on sale Friday at 10am so we’ll get confirmation then or at least be able to tell by the seating chart.

do we have dates yet?

Are we anticipating them trying to get into this season? Or will they wait till later Summer 2023 months? I think it would be wise to wait till next season.

Summer. Which seems an odd time.
