Sad to bring this up, but now that Bandstand is out...

Dreamgirls? Or if Carousel will be a smaller production, maybe that. 

But that doesn't matter, because we're all here. And with all of our differences we have one thing in common. We're all gay.

Carousel? Mean Girls? I'm not sure which show would fit best. Mean Girls could probably play here with no problems.

I think this is a better fit for Carousel than the Imperial would be

Mean Girls makes sense to me. Do we know what owners are courting it? I've heard Nederlander and Jujamcyn houses mentioned for MG but no Shuberts. Could also see MG at the Nederlander if War Painf closes before spring.

These threads are getting ridiculous.

 

The show only announced closing a couple of hours ago...

Why is it ridiculous when these are the actual discussions going on with the people in charge?

What? When a show announces closing, that means the theatre is about to become vacant, which means it's an appropriate time to discuss what's coming next... it's only "ridiculous" to actively discuss tenants before closing notices are posted.

Of course these discussions are already going on behind the scenes. No landlord wants an empty building. He wants $$$. Nothing ridiculous about us speculating.
