Oof. That could be anything.

I think that is going into the Imperial"

Imperial seems too big for this show, no?

The Outsiders is the only movie adaptation I've heard mentioned recently as coming in sooner than later.

What’s the trajectory of how to dance in Ohio? Is that still eyeing a transfer?

Could Suffs be a possibility?

Shubert's have offered it to Manilow/Sussman's HARMONY.

Not sure if they want to move from Barrymore. Barrymore is one of the premiere theaters but Music Box is on a better block - although, clearly that didn't help DANCIN

Could it be Trading Places? I remember seeing they had an industry reading of it in NYC a few months back, and Kenny Leon is in hot demand right now.

If Kevin McCollum is trying to extend PETER PAN beyond July 9th (which would also necessitate moving EL MAGO POP), that would be a reason to move HARMONY to the Music Box. And Ken Davenport has relationships with both Shubert and Kevin McCollum, so could be advantageous for him to accommodate since there's no significant difference in those theatres scale.

Peter Pan Goes Wrong is not extending even if playing to SRO crowds. The production is opening a the Ahamson in Los Angeles less than a month after it closes on Broadway. I have to assume they will not be building a new set and will just be shipping the Broadway set across the country, which will take at least 1-2 weeks to break down the set at the Barrymore, ship it across the country, and rebuild it at the Ahmanson. Then because this production was not built to tour I have to assume at least a few days for tech. That leaves the show with at most maybe a week or at most 2 it can extend on Broadway.

Pretty sure it's The Notebook, no? (Which I hope they've worked on a bit)

One person has mentioned the right show, and no it is not HARMONY

If you know the show, just say it already. If you’re right- yay you have credible info. If you’re wrong- oh well.

Yeah, it's The Notebook. It's ready for Broadway and is coming in hot!

[RippedMan]

Posted: 5/3/23 at 3:21pm

Eh, it wasn't ready in Chicago. The whole thing is just a wet blanket of a show. There were some great parts and then some cringey parts and the opening song is dreadful. Hopefully they've worked on it.

Way better than the sh*t fest that was The Devil Wears Prada. WOOOOOF

I thought someone here said they wanted a bigger house than The Music Box.

It’s how to dance in Ohio

I would be positively shocked if Ohio was coming in this season. I saw it’s premiere and it ain’t ready.

[Sutton Ross]

Posted: 5/3/23 at 5:25pm

I was wondering about that show. Why is not ready? Any good/great things about the show in general? Looked cute.

Posted: 5/3/23 at 5:27pm

Yeah, I heard The Notebook wanted it.

It was sweet, but way too long with a very unmemorable score. This IS a good show in there, but it really needs to be a 100 minute one act, not a 2 hour and 45 minute two act. There is a LOT of filler, especially since it’s such low stakes.

I NEED Suffs. I don’t care what theatre, I just need it.
