I have heard from a board member of Hartford Stage that Anastasia is now aiming to open before of after next year's Tony's. I'm not sure how long before or after but that's what I heard.

Hot off the press:

I heard that Wicked was closing, either before 2020 or after.

I heard Hamilton will take over the Gershwin in addition to the Rodgers sometime in the early 3000s.

So this could open before or after I die.

It has to be before right? What the heck good would it do to open soon after the Tonys? Also, before the Tony's would match what a previous poster said about Anastasia taking the Broadhurst after The Front Page. 

I just hope Anastasia isn't next year's Tuck Everlasting.

It's already received better word of mouth than Tuck Everlasting and is also a more well-known name.

After having seen it at Hartford, it looks like to me it will enjoy a long and healthy commercial life on Broadway. There are a few kinks to work out before it arrives, but it is 95% there already; beautiful set design, well directed, great cast, incredible costumes, and great music.

Then why the almost one year wait to transfer? There should be plenty of theater vacancies before then so that's what I don't get.

So they can make sure they'll be open for the Tonys? Unless they open after the Tonys, but I doubt that.

I would just think that a winter opening would be a better bet for both money reasons and the show's health but perhaps I'm wrong. Delaying an opening until just before the  Tonys makes me nervous because then you have a small group of people completely controlling the fate of your show.

I don't know, I think a Spring opening would be best. With other highly anticipated shows opening in Winter, they could get lost in the mix.

Has it closed ? Caroline O'Connor is due to start rehersals any day now for Funny Girl in Melbourne--a short 2 week season at end of July---can't wait as her Gypsy was sensational.
