Have Therese Raquin and Old Times announced theaters yet? Or are you just assuming they will go into those two?

You may want to re-categorize Finding Neverland and The King and I.  They are not long-running shows, as neither has opened yet.

Old Times is going into the AA. Im assuming Therese Raquin is going into Studio 54 because it announced it was coming to Broadway Fall 2015. Noises Off is going into the AA in the spring which i guess means She Loves me will go into Studio 54. 


Finding Neverland and The King and I are selling so well. Just like Wicked and South Pacific 


I thought American Psycho was fall

By that definition, you should add Hamilton as a long-running show

Annette....even I have to say that was pretty funny.


If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I appreciate this list being put together, however without some of the shoes opening yet I woulnt place them as being vacant theaters (ie the visit, Gigi) does anybody know if roundabout will transfer on the 20th century to another Broadway house as they did with shows like "she loves me" and "1776" ? Some friends of mine are already talking about hunchback going into the nederlander is that too early of a call?

Yes, the producers of Hunchback made an announcement that it would not make the transfer.

Classifying Finding Neverland as a long-running show and Hedwig as "well-selling, but possibly closing" is pretty laughable. The first hasn't even opened yet, and I doubt the second will close. They'll get a boost of tickets every time they bring in a new Hedwig, which is why they're keeping everyone's run after NPH short and sweet.


BROADWAY: The Cripple of Inishmaan, This is Our Youth, If/Then, Hedwig and the Angry Inch (x3), Cabaret (x2), The Real Thing, A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, Chicago, Les Miserables (x2) Disgraced, Finding Neverland, On the Twentieth Century, Wolf Hall Part I, On the Town, Fun Home; TOURING: Jekyll and Hyde, The Book of Mormon; LOCAL: The Twilight Zone, Anne Boleyn, Death and the Maiden, The Lying Kind, Chorus Line, Stupid F**king Bird

Finding Neverland is gonna have a good run. It just perfectly fits the formula for a financially successful show.  Hedwig will get a boost every time a new Hedwig comes in, but how many more famous people can they actually get who want to come in and be the millionth replacement? I say it will close in September or January.


"In some ways, Wicked's massive commercial success comes as no surprise, as it fits the formula for the popular megamusical. With catchy music, clever lyrics, quirky and recognizable characters, huge sets, lavish costumes, and spectacular theatrical effects such as robotic lighting, smoke, fire, trapdoors, and flying actors, Wicked epitomizes to a certain degree the kind of crowd-pleasing musical theatre that has dominated Broadway since the "British invasion" of the 1980s. Wicked's familiar source material also accounts for some of its popularity, as it imagines the back-story of one of America's most well-known and beloved tales."


Sound familiar?

They keep the Hedwig's contract shirt so they can get big name people.  Big names often have too many commitments to sign on long term.


 


And, for once, I don't disagree, I could see this closing at the end of summer or right after the holiday season.

It's slightly premature to list Finding Neverland and The King and I as "long running" when they've not even opened yet...

They ARE both selling extremely well though, that honestly I would have to say it's very likely they'll be open still come the Fall (Unless Harvey has a meltdown or something and runs up on stage one night and says "Close this stinking show. I can't take it anymore."  while yelling incessantly, lol!

Philly. Even *you* should know by now that there is no formula for a financially successful show. That's why Broadway is hard.

I think when it comes to fairytales and Disney type stuff they usually succeed.
