Why would The Lehman trilogy look for another theatre?

My question is, why would they decide to do that? They aren't making money due to the shut down, and they did have some preview performances before the shut down. Considering that the sets etc are all set up at The Nederlander, wouldn't it cost them more money to move?"

It was a limited run and another show has already booked the Nederlander 

 

A logical choice for the Lehman Trilogy is the Ethel Barrymore.

IMO I would look for anther theatre if I were them.  The Nederlander is probably the theatre I dislike attending the most.  I just don't feel that safe when I leave that theatre after an evening performance and the street remains dreary to me.  I have felt that way since I was probably 16 and it was called the Billy Rose Theatre.  I don't have any unique issues with the interior of the theatre(just one in a long line of too cramped theatres)

I recall reading several months ago that Simon Russell Beale is starring in Ibsen's John Gabriel Borkman in London in spring 2021 but that has probably been postponed as well. Regardless, I hope all 3 actors are able to still perform on Broadway when it comes back!
