Roundabout to Re-Open the Henry Miller; Cabaret 1st Show?

The New York Times reports that the Roundabout Theater Company will be re-opening the 89-year-old, 1,000 seat Henry Miller's Theater on 43rd Street in the fall of 2008. The company is in the final stages of negotiations with Bank of America and the Durst Organization (whose co-president, Douglas Durst, is on Roundabout's Board) for a 20-year lease. While the Theater will undergo a $30 million renovation, there are no plans to change its name.
 
The Roundabout currently owns or leases the American Airlines Theater on 42nd Street, Studio 54 on 54th Street, and the Off-Broadway Laura Pels Theater, part of the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theater, on 46th Street.

Roundabout President Todd Haimes told The Times that he hopes to give a popular show an extended run in one of the Broadway Theaters, while the others will be used for Roundabout's usual two-or-three shows a year schedule. The New York Times states that the first extended-run show could be a revival of Sam Mendes' production of Cabaret, which played Studio 54 in 1998.
