Another season, and no "Rebecca." I doubt anyone is surprised.

Audrey, the Phantom Phanatic, who nonetheless would rather be Jean Valjean, who knew how to make lemonade out of lemons.

I doubt anyone is sad or really cares even.

I wouldn't rush this apology. It might never make it based on the lukewarm reviews.

I'd say they have mostly positive reviews. And the songwriters just said it's going to transfer in the spring

Oh, Rebecca. I hope Ben Sprecher is doing well.

Anastasia is definitely transferring and they're aiming for spring. Tom Kirdahy is producing.

Smokey Joe's Cafe is looking less likely since they couldn't find a theater this fall and Jerry Zaks has a full plate with Hello Dolly and Bronx Tale.

I hope Rebecca will get a premiere at SOME point in English. It's not a bad show. I quite like the score.

I really enjoy the title song of Rebecca and looks like a cool production. If Dr. Zhivago can make it, anything is possible.

I maybe the minority but I love Dr. Zhivago. Or at least the cast recording.

Do people consider The Great Comet to be a "big show"? I ask because I happen to love a big show/small show TONY race similar to Wicked vs Avenue Q and Billy Elliot vs Next to Normal. It would be entertaining to see that same contrast play out with Great Comet and Dear Evan Hansen.

I (very sadly) think we can pretty safely add the Cort to the list of available theaters for the next season. With luck and and increase in grosses post the Tonys Awards performance Bright Star might live through the summer, but they will not be open in the fall (unless some miraculous miracle happens).

I agree about the Golden, Glass Menagerie is so far away, other play with a limited run will go in there in between.

Does anyone have an updates list of shows looking for theaters for next season?
