Will Something Rotten change theaters? — Page 2

Motown is also running as a limited engagement.

I thought it was open-ended

Let's face it, Frozen wouldn't go to the Nederlander anyway. It's going to want a big broadway house for both capacity and also staging

The fact that an original musical with no out of town buzz can fill that theater and continue to run for over a year is pretty incredible! Wish producers would start spending money on original works as that seems to be what people want to see nowadays.

^i think they were saying when the theatres were being looked at as possibilities.

Just wondering something. I had always been under the impression that you don't announce the theatre a show is going into unless the theatre is dark or the show occupying it has posted a closing notice. I just find it odd that The St. James has been mentioned as the home to Frozen since Something Rotten has not posted a closing notice. I am not saying that Rotten is a show that is going to last forever. But, officially, as of right now, there has not been anything said about it closing. Anyone able to shed some light on this?

The original source was the New York Post, and they didn't use the word "rumored". It's official set. Just not officially announced.

^ if that is the closing date for something rotten would jujamcyn want to keep the st. James dark for an entire year? Maybe they'll use something rotten as like a buffer and help it run until frozen gets in there.
