Hadestown transfer

Has anyone heard anything about a potential transfer? Or at least even a cast recording?

This show on Broadway would close at intermission.

Not according to what I've heard...

 

(Have you even seen it?)

Yes. And even if I thought it was a great performance it is not Broadway material at its current state. 

It was definitely not sold out at the NYTW performance I attended. The two parties in front of me didn't come back after intermission.

The man to my right got so bored he started taping Act 2 and one of the actors had to walk to him and take his phone away.

I sadly think it's too sophisticated for Broadway.

I really liked it but I think it would tank in a Broadway house. It would lose all of its intimacy even in a smaller house.

If Natasha, Pierre does well I think the chances of a transfer go up significantly, given that it is the same director and people said similar things about it when they saw it off-broadway 2 years.  If not, I doubt it will receive a transfer despite the great things I have been hearing about it.

Not everything that does well downtown needs to transfer.

Just for the hell of it, I asked Anais Mitchell on Twitter if a cast recording or transfer was going to happen. Her answer, and I quote, was "trying!" So, on both fronts, I guess we'll have to wait and see.
