Anyone else surprised that there hasn’t been more announcements for shows in the fall between the amount of open theaters and stars definitely available due to strike! Perhaps more will be announced after Labor Day? Any inside info anyone?
The August Wilson is going to need to be heavily renovated for CABARET, so I assume it’ll be dark until the Spring.

I have no inside knowledge but I feel like anything coming in this fall would already have been announced aside from some possible holiday short-run events.
The situation where Broadway had shows lined up every season for every theatre is a fairly new phenomenon. I'd say it began around 15-20 years ago? With all that's happened since then economically and in world events, I won't be surprised if we regularly go back to the situation where there are large gaps between shows in some houses, and not every theatre is filled every season. Maybe for the short term, or longer. Who knows?

I've been saying this for a while now! With the ongoing strikes, they can totally do a limited run on Broadway this fall! You can count on me buying a premium ticket for that!
The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince
I see that Crazy for You West End is selling tickets through January. Originally a limited run was planned, because there had been a revival of it only six or seven years ago.
The singing and dancing must be spectacular if the thin plot and corny gags are excused.
Nice to see Susan with a hit financially as well as artistically. She has been trying to get this to Broadway since 2018. Charlie Stemp has right of first refusal for Broadway. The long time the show will have run in England might keep him home, or on Broadway for a short time.
That would likely be a deserved break for Tony Yazbeck, who played the role in the 2017 one performance anniversary production. If Charlie is better than Tony in the role, it wouldn't be by much.

I think Crazy For You is coming in the Spring. Charlie was absolutely phenomenal and he deserves to bring the shoe back to Broadway. I think Lincoln Center is gonna put this on in NYC.

I do find it odd that THE WIZ hasn't announced a theatre yet. Unless they've been promised the Shubert and need SLIH (lead produced by Shubert) to post notice first?
I suppose the same could be said of the Nederlander or the Lunt if they are working with the Nederlanders.

The limited run in London has always been selling through to January. To call it a financial hit is wrong though, it’s really struggling to sell and is being really heavily discounted. That said, it’s a wonderful production. Maybe it would do better in NY.
