It's one of my favorite theaters and with all the new shows trying to come in, I too am amazed that no show has taken it up yet. Unless something has been booked and they have just been holding out on announcing.
Is there still any bite for People Places and Things now that Denise didn't win the TONY? She's incredible in both pieces, but I can't imagine doing either show 8x a week. She must be exhausted.
I don't know how big these planned revivals of Crazy for You or The Secret Garden are suppose to be from a production standpoint, so it's hard to tell if the Longacre would be a fit for either one of them.

Someone on here mentioned Moulin Rouge is circling the Hirschfeld. Jagged Little Pill or Hadestown would make sense for the Longacre or Walter Kerr (or... the Belasco or Nederlander if their shows fold quickly).
There's also Tootsie –– though Scott Ellis is also directing Kiss Me Kate (previews 2/14, opening 3/14), so Tootsie would probably have to start previews in very early January, or open at the very end of April.
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

FYI, The Longacre has ~1100 seats, and typically houses plays or smaller musicals. I feel like A Bronx Tale or Allegiance are the largest shows that have been in it. And I don't think of them as particularly huge...
I think there's no way Moulin Rouge would fit in there.
