"I Love My Wife."

HogansHero said: "There will be no Broadway before the summer, there will be no Broadway with social distancing (regardless of cast size), and there will be no Broadway until a critical mass of people decide it's ok to go back to the theatre (including, for many shows, tourists who are of course currently persona non grata). Every sane epidemiologist is telling us that the country is about to experience a far worse experience than before. Whether New York can shelter itself from

Phantom of London said: "Phantom of London said: "If Broadway does come back in a not meaningful way i.e. social distanced performances, then Lungs would be the perfect play, as would be Yerma and give Billie Piper a short at the Tony, which she richly deserves to win."

No one knows how and when theatre is coming back.We do not know how theatre will come back, whether it is distanced audience or a non distanced audience, that is down to Andrew Cuomo and

"Phantom of London" did, I believe. "If Broadway comes back in a socially distant way..."

"Broadway," meaning traditional Broadway theatres, will reopen when social distancing is no longer needed, meaning fall of 2021.

 

Broadway will reopen, probably, Fall 2021.

As far as I know, anyone can volunteer to be in a clinical trial. Due to his age, he is a good candidate.

Please, producers, revive this show on Broadway!

A logical choice for the Lehman Trilogy is the Ethel Barrymore.

The Inheritance has always been an open-ended run. The 3/1/20 date was for the initial block of tickets. It was not the closing date.

Thank you.

"End of Summer" was in Act 2 when I saw it on Sunday evening, but it seemed to have been shortened.

They are using the 2004 revised libretto. "Patterns" has been restored to Act 2, the story of the older parents, Arlene and Alan, has been expanded, and the new song "End of Summer" has been added to Act 2, also. 

yes..definitely! Go!

I agree with you completely regarding "I Love My Wife." I was sad when it closed.

And, I wish "Baby" could have a first-class revival on Broadway. It's long overdue for one. I loved that show, too. Liz Callaway singing "The Story Goes On" was magical. A magnificent way to close Act 1.

Greetings, but my post wasn't referring to "Baby." "Baby" opened 12/4/83. "I Love My Wife" was the show that pushed "American Buffalo" out of the Barrymore. "I Love My Wife" opened  4/17/17.  "American Buffalo" lasted another two months at the Belasco. It colsed 6/12/77.

 

"Baby" is another story altogether. "Baby" was probably below its stop clause, except for two wee

In the winter of 1977, the first Broadway production of "American Buffalo" (with Robert Duvall)  was nudged out of the Ethel Barrymore to make way for "I Love My Wife." "American Buffalo" moved to the Belasco, but its ticket sales, which were miniscule at the beginning but were going up 3 or 4% every week, couldn't sustain the momentum after the move and closed in June. Wasn't this sort of the same situation as now? The show was coming around, catchi

The space is very small..about the size of a studio apartment with chairs around the perimeter. You won't miss anything. Probably the least desireable seats are in the "kitchen area" of the loft. Almost all of the action takes place in the "living room" or main stage area.

I saw it last Sunday, 12/9, 7 p.m. I thought it was glorious! It was such a pleasure to hear that wonderful score again, live, for the first time since 1984. The audience was very enthusiastic. I hope it's reviewed in one of our local outlets. I'm not a new member of this board. I haven't posted in about 10 years. I had to "rejoin" to post. I have absolutely no connection with the show.
