Will there be any more shows for the fall?

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?

There will surely be more and at this point it's better for them to wait to announce until the week after Labor Day.

The following are currently vacant (or about to be) and don't have announced tenants.

Imperial
Longacre
Lyceum
Studio 54
Vivian Beaumont
Marquis

The following could do a limited run as they have spring tenants:

- August Wilson
- Jacobs
- Schoenfeld

The August Wilson is going to need to be heavily renovated for CABARET, so I assume it’ll be dark until the Spring.

I think the Schoenfeld is probably not getting a fall show either with notebook starting early February

They could get something that closes in early January, like a holiday special.

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.

I thought the Beaumont was bringing in The Lehman Trilogy?

The reason more hasn’t been announced? Shows simply don’t have their $$$/funding ready … it’s hard out there right now

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’d really like Mescal in Streetcar. He has to finish Gladiator once the strike ends, but he seems to love theater and NY, so I’m hoping it happens.

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!

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.

From my understanding the Jacobs and Studio 54 do have Fall tenants lined up that have simply yet to be announced.

What are they? Days of Wine and Roses?

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.

Have two of the five slots remaining for my Oct 20-23 trip. Holding off to see what else — if anything — is announced.

What’s coming to the Jacobs? And also is Lehman definitely happening?

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.

With the amount of PR the producing team and the Goodman are doing... I'd be incredibly surprised if we don't see TOMMY this fall or spring ... 

[broadwayben3]

I have one spot left in my trip for November, does anyone know if Days of Wine/Roses will at least be in previews by then??

[Robbie516]

Posted: 8/28/23 at 4:14pm

I think if the rumor is true a play with a name will go to jacobs for a run… Tommy would most likely be planned for a opened ended run

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.
