Xanadu Musical A No-Go After All#1

Seems Krakow crapped out.

A Wontorek blind-item:
"No, she’s not corroded or overloaded, but my sources say that Dinah the Dining Car doesn’t look likely to roll back to Broadway this spring after all. Apparently, she’s happy as ever being queen of the rock. We love her a bushel and a peck and hope she comes home to the theater soon."

That's the easiest blind item I've ever read.

I'd say 13 should go into the Helen Hayes, but I heard from the crew that it would need to be in a huge theater to justify the production costs.

I doubt 13 will transfer.

Wasn't Cheyenne attached to the Xanadu project, and that upset people because they wanted him to be Eric in Little Mermaid? Well there ya go. (Could be off base, trying to remember and don't feel like searching).

[title of show] can take the Helen Hayes! But not until after the Tony cutoff. This season is busy enough.

As great as it would be if [tos] took the Hayes, it'll never happen. The show couldn't sell out the Vineyard, so it's chances on Broadway aren't great.

Do you know how inexpensive it is to keep that show running? 4 actors, 2 understudies, 4 chairs and a piano. They could get that woman who was on EMPTY NEST!

Foster - hilarious. Is [title of show] still running?

Craig - Yeah it's weird because I remember seeing all those previews for Opposite of Sex and then it kind of disappeared.

Title of Show, as cute as it is, would never succeed on Broadway. It didn't sell off-Broadway for very long, and could not sell on Broadway- even at the Hayes.

I'd love to see [tos] move - but a little bird told me one of them is going to be busy with a new show coming in the fall.

That would be Dinah Manoff... a Tony winner... Lee Grant's daughter... and Marty in the movie Grease.

Whaddaya think about Altar Boyz transferring? It wouldn't work in a big Broadway house, but in a small theater like this? Can't tell you how many folks I've told about this show on the TKTS line; most tourists have never heard of it.

I hope that Treasure Island play doesn't want it. Is anything set for the Cort after Little Dog?

Radio Golf is set for the Cort, to open sometime in March, I believe.

Altar Boyz won't transfer. It's not making any $$ off-Broadway.
