Just to play devil's advocate, this could be for a movie and not a Broadway revival. It's just a picture of Harold Hill's suitcase, it doesn't say anything like "Broadway 2020."

It looks like Michael Arden and John McGinty have joined the cast, though it's unclear who they're playing. Curious to see how Sam Gold interpolates the ASL elements.
Malkovich has been a bit snotty in interviews about this, and it's definitely a loaded subject. But that's Mamet's bread and butter- he literally wrote a play called Race.
As one of the only people who liked China Doll (it's no Glengarry, but also not the trainwreck it was made out to be) I'm cautiously optimistic about this piece. Wonder if there'll be a U.S production if British reviews are positive.

People on this board have speculated about Anastasia closing in the spring- if that happens, it could take the Broadhurst. Otherwise, it seems like Belasco would make the most sense.

Updated: Jerome Preston Bates joined the cast as an understudy for Jeremy Jordan."
He was already Eugene Lee's understudy, so he's doubling up now.
