With that great Times review and high name recognition of the show, I wouldn’t be surprised if the 3 main New York theatre owners are bidding to get the show now. This show would be awful in the Hirshfeld as others have said and would be better in the Winter Garden and those 100 extra seats a night means extra $$$$.
I could even go one step further and say even stick it into the Broadway which also be perfect for this and move King Kong to the Imperial, where it has a better capa
If I managed Jamie, I would bring it to New York. In a 499 seat off Broadway house, that will build word of mouth and then you can access if there is a way to market for Broadway. If it doesn’t go too well, then you haven’t lost too much.

I’venoticed that as the years have gone on, more and more August: Osage County gets written off as soapy melodrama. I think this is a shame because the original production was so utt
Potential shows may have got ‘cold feet’, knowing they were going to compete head to head with Frozen, which was expected to win massive, but people have been deservingly sniffy towards it. If Comet, Groundhog Day or Bright Star open this season instead we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
