KING LEAR Moving to the Cort

[QueenAlice]

I actually don't think this is a question of Metcalf pulling her power. I think Scott Rudin is a shrewd producer and knows Glenda Jackson as Lear is going to sell well in whatever theatre it plays in. Metcalf in a new play by a still up and coming playwright is going to need the greater visibility that the Golden Theatre provides to sell tickets.

I read this as KING KONG moving to the Cort and was so confused. I clearly can't read and have lost my mind.

My guess: it's entirely related to timing:

At the Cort, Mike Birbiglia closes on 1/20, and Lear now begins previews 2/28. 

At the Golden, Waverly Gallery is scheduled to close on 1/27 and Hillary begins previews 3/16. That gives Rudin wiggle-room to extend Waverly by 2-3 weeks if he wants to. There'd be no room for an extension if Lear was starting 2/28 at the Golden.

Yes, exactly.
