Magic Mike is in development hell. It would need to get new creatives and a book a new tryout get before coming in so I highly doubt that this season is realistic for it.
I think "Marie: Still Dancing" is a possible announcement waiting for the ink on the paperwork to dry. It seems like of all the recent out of town tryouts, it's about as ready as Diana was to move and so it might have a similar time frame as that one.
Urban Cowboy kinda ALMOST did this? It announced it's closing after the first preview that would have resulted in only 4 shows (plus previews) but they changed their mind the day it was meant to close and ran another month and a half, keeping it open long enough to be seen by the Tony nominated committee but when it resulted only 2 nominations, they gave up. That was 2003.

Gershwin was the one I was going to name drop as well. I have sat all over that theatre over the years and the view has always been perfect from where seat and angle I have sat in. Even when I sat off to the side and up close for Wicked once. Yeah you missed some of the upstage stuff but that comes with the set design and it was still a great view for 95% o
This was a totally unexpected move but I suppose as someone else said, the theatre was gonna sit empty until Diana loaded in so save a little money with a show that already has a tour set that they can put up for basically a long sit down. The cast will likely mostly comprise of the tour cast as well. This is basically like Bring It On all over again. Something to give people options during the holiday season when there is a lot of space available and then be gone once the holiday boost is ov
Same audience, perhaps. But I would not call them direct competition really simply based on ticket prices and making it accessible to audiences. If anything, Moulin Rouge's uncalled for high ticket prices might only HELP Six. People that can't afford to pay $200 to sit in the balcony of Moulin Rouge might be more willing to pay $140 for legit good seats to see Six. BUT Moulin Rouge comes with a built in fanbase unlike Six's fanbase because Moulin Rouge is a piece of Pop
Found a picture. Pretty sure this was the actual Broadway set back in the day. I saw it and the lounge space is very familar. If it's not the set, it's still the same concept:
One of the biggest disappointments I ever have seen on Broadway. This sinking effect was the most interesting thing about it. I am still amazed it won Best Musical
I can honestly say that I have not been THIS excited about a show in a very VERY long time. Yes even at it's short length. It's not always about the length of a show but the quality of the work. I mean... in truth this show is pretty much designed for my personal interests. I am a huge Renn Faire enthusiast and my home faire is coming off a 5 year run of the rulers being a young Henry and Katherine of Aragon. Fell in love with the performers that portray

Good idea. Maybe the Majestic?"
I love this idea and it would the only theatre that would be perfect to be named after him in New York.

West End. The understudies have BARELY gone on at all in the US so far minus the one covering Parr one or two times and then taking over the Aragon track to the end. The second understudy has only gone on once so far and I'm FAIRLY certain she was put in because it was around her birthday (saw a bunch of birthday wishes on her Instagram around that time) so they gave her a show before the Chicago ru
So not only did the new alternate go on.... EVERY alternate was on. And this new girl was thrown in so fast she doesn't even have her own costume yet. She was wearing the back up spare costume. So that's FOUR out of SIX queens were the understudies/swings/alternates. That is REALLY kind of ridiculous and if you think about it if not for this new girl being ready early, they'd like have had to throw in someone else or cancel again.

ALL of the tracks have been available on KARAFUN for months. I've been belting these songs out at my fave karaoke bars in Chicago for a while."
The tracks on KARAFUN are not the official tracks. There are tracks out there that were made by

Also, I think the rules are a little different for closing night. I saw a lot of people in gold lamé at Head Over Heels closing, and that was really fun."
Yeah I know a lot of people dressed up in elaborate costumes for the closing of Priscilla a few years ago as well. And there have been other nights (rare) that shows have ASKED for it. Like
Personal opinion, there are limits. From someone that is in the "Disneybound" community, I feel like the same rules of that movement should be the limit here as well. Suggestive clothing with colors and accessories that are kind of clever and subtle to suggest a character BUT at the same time can be viewed by and outsider as just a nice outfit... that's the way to go. I don't PERSONALLY want to see anyone showing up in like full on costume at a musical because as someone sai

It could mean that Ordway was expecting a certain amount of "enhancement" money from commercial producers, and the producers couldn't deliver. Or it could mean the show is READY for Broadway and doesn't need a third out-of-town engagement."
Okay, yes, let's actually bring this up. WHY did Phantom loose. I think someone else or maybe even multiple people have said it. It's not in the music part of the score but in the lyrics part. Sondheim weaves his songs in Into the Woods with clever rhymes, smart wit, comedic gold, heart touching beauty. There is a wide and skillful range to the lyrics of Into the Woods almost as diverse as the personalities of the characters in his play.

The chances of winning the lottery are slim, and purchasing tickets at house prices or through resellers is out of budget for many, especially those who gave up so many hours to be on that rush line. Now it’s even less accessible, and the rationale why is unclear. Blah."
I think the rationale is fairly clear. They adjusted the system to cut down on people camping out and spending hours and hours in line was working at first, bu
