Thank you, Wanna Be A Foster. I had heard rumors about where both of those were being placed, but didn't know it was official. I don't think it's in the playbill.com listings yet...

And I think the Guys and Dolls at the St. James thing may be true, but it is not officially announced as of now.

Is Cry- Baby going into the Longacre?

Cry-Baby is going into a Nederlander Theater.

I should find out for you all by the end of next week. I am also suprised that they have not announced the cast yet.

Wtf is going on with the Longacre? Is anyone as curious about this as I am? Are they renovating it for a specific upcoming show?

The Longacre was rumored to be getting a new orchestra pit so that the theatre can house a musical more easily, and I have to imagine (or hope) an interior overhaul as well. (That baby diaper brown color of the entire theatre has got to go). Boeing Boeing has been mentioned here and elsewhere as going into that theatre in the spring, although I had heard Boeing mentioned for another theatre.

Well I knew that, other than the Boeing Boeing stuff, but is it being renovated for a specific new musical production coming in? I thought that was the rumor.

No, it was just in terrible need of a general renovation.

No specific show is causing the update of the house.

LuPone Gypsy is opening at the St. James in January 2008.
