MMS you made me laugh out loud today. Thanx. I think the point wasn't as much that things change in the industry and localonecrew may have been speaking from knowledge at the time of the post. It's that localonecrew's posts are often arrogant sounding, as if people don't know what they are talking about when they don't think he/she's info is correct. When often the info isn't correct.

I would guess that localonecrew is posting information that IS CORRECT AT THE TIME. Whether he sounds arrogant or not isn't my point. The fact that a week after he posts something the producers decide on a different theatre or a star backs out, or contract negotations continue to deadlock is something he couldn't predict. Does that make his earlier information wrong? Well of course it does. Does it make him wrong for posting it in the first place? Absolutely not.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Now I know that I don't have any idea of how the "industry" works but perhaps that's the reason why producers don't realease this information to the public until it's confirmed.
So, yes it does make him wrong for posting it.

And FYI, "Raisin in the Sun" was never going into the Shubert Theater.

Really? Never? Care to name your sources on that one as to how you know?

Ask Peter Entin at the Shubert Organization. I'm sure he'll confirm it.
PM me if you'd like his phone number.

The fact that he sounds arrogant is my point. Not that he posts something that may or may not be right at the time. If he is so knowledgable as to how the industry works, then he also knows that anything can change at any moment until the papers are signed. It's not what he posts. It's how he posts it with the condescending tones and arrogant attitude of trying to sound like he has the constant scoop. My guess is that he is just speculating like everyone else in the hopes that sometimes he's right, but hoping to post it first so he seems like he "knew" it was happening.

Maybe it's not going into THE Shubert theatre but it went into a theatre owned by the Shubert Organisation. It's not too much of a stretch to believe that they may once have been eyeing the Shubert for Raisin In The Sun. Gypsy did initially post a closing notice for February after all. Whether you've got Peter Entin's phone number or not really makes no odds to me.
