Posted: 5/15/06 at 10:00pmCry Baby is set to open in Spring 2007. I wouldnt be surprised if Wedding Singer closed early January and then Cry Baby took the Hirschfield.

MARY POPPINS, A CHORUS LINE, and LES MIS all already have theatres.
But I *did* forget to mention PIRATE QUEEN.

THE TIMES also has a theatre (The BROOKS)
Martin Short also has a Theatre.
and it looks like PIRATE QUEEN has the Paris Hilton Theatre.

I have faith in Sweeney. Gah, it's too good to close so soon! Plus they're not even looking for replacements yet and I want to audition for it, so I have to have faith that it'll still be there in the future, haha. Maybe if/when it wins the Tony, more people will come to see it...

Posted: 5/16/06 at 1:42amI hope Wedding Singer can hold on. I know it won't run for a while, but I don't want it to be a major flop. I think it will sell well on tour anyways. At least we're getting a recording. And I agree about Cry Baby taking over for Wedding Singer. Although, they seem to be basically the same thing. They both did out of town tryouts in Seattle..etc.

Isn't Legally Blonde set for a spring of 2007 opening?
I really think The Producers has one more year left in the run, and will leave in '07.
ThreePenny Opera is set to close in June, too.

I predict WS will lose a lot of $
but unfortunately not stop Producers from making musicals from bad Movies.
Ugh!
and THE PRODUCERS has a way to go before closing.

Posted: 5/16/06 at 8:02amI think Threepenny will close.
#16re: Which musicals do you think won't make it through 2006?
Posted: 5/16/06 at 8:10amI doubt that Producers will close this year, maybe 2007, but not right now, espeacially with the DVD release.
#17re: Which musicals do you think won't make it through 2006?
Posted: 5/16/06 at 8:13amSadly Lestat will leave but if it is recorded then I think I can cope. I think Sweeney will stay open if they can either renew just about everyone or get amazing replacments.

Posted: 5/16/06 at 8:16amSweeney is running at 50% capacity right now..they need some pretty darn good replacements! Or, a new marketing strategy.

Posted: 5/16/06 at 8:22amRenthead: Threepenny is a limited run... of course it will close this year.

LESTAT (it might be dead by Thanksgiving, depends on how the Cd and marketing do. I think it will last the summer tourist rush)
SWEENEY TODD (probably won't make it past Christmas)
THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA (was set to close this summer anyway)
THE PAJAMA GAME Rnd2(unless its got Harry/Kelli, it won't last long)
HOT FEET (won't even get to July)
3PENNY (ltd. run)
Now that the Tony nominations have come out, I think Wedding Singer has more of a chance. haven't seen it, but it looks fun and a number on the Tony's will be like a big commercial. The Cd will be out soon and with clever marketing, could hang on into 2007 and then launch a tour (which would go over big outside of NYC).
