Broadway Real Estate Thread?

[Phantom of London]

With so much closed or about to close, it has been manic with notices on Broadway lately, we all need to draw breathe and start a Real Estate thread, to get things in perspective of what is likely to go where.

The following theatre are dark or about to become dark:

St James - Premature failure of Leap Of Faith, so Bring It On: The Musical is taking up temporary residents, will this extend or what is next up?

Neil Simon - Jesus Christ Superstar closing Sunday, what next?

Al Hirschfeld - Anyone know what is next in line after Fela?

Broadway - Those great nuns are going to stop singing soon, who is going to start singing there again?

Shubert - Memphis doesn't live in Broadway anymore, what will?

Circle In The Square - Another biblical show gone, will the next get a revelation of a long run, what will it be?

Richard Rodgers - The Gershwins Porgy and Bess only playing until September, I got a feeling this will extend, but if it doesn't, what will fill the boots.

Stephen Sondheim - Sadly thew great Anything Goes closes in August, what will pick up the mantle?

Golden - Is dark, what will lighten it?

Music Box - One Man, Two Guvnors, surely will close as planned in September?

Lonacre - Getting a knockout show next, but unfortunately only running two weeks, whats up next?

Anything Goes is now closing on July 8th.

St James will be home to A Christmas Story come November

Neil Simon: Motown musical

Hershfeld: Into the Woods

Shubert: Matilda (I have a feeling Glen Gary is coing to change theaters so that Best Man can play though Election Day since it is selling very well)'

Golden; the exorcist/the Heiress

Appear toy the Sondheim house is being gotten int a sports bar. Eff that ****e.

[musicman_bwayfan]

I was told at the theater on the closing day of Seminar that the Golden theater is going to be renovated - don't know how long that process will last. Maybe they will get some seats that allow a normal sized person fit their legs in front of them!

[bobs3]

Glad you mentioned the Golden. I'm 6'3" and have trouble with leg room in most theaters but the Golden and the Jacobs are sheer hell when it comes to sitting without turning my knees at an angle.

[dramamama611]

iNIck -- no, it's not. (Unless, of course, you are just referring to the other foolish thread.)

[Emmaloucbway]

Is The Mystery of Edwin Drood going to play the Sondheim?

[aasjb4ever]

DROOD (i know) will play Studio 54. I thought I read that THE HEIRESS was going into the Kerr...

[RippedMan]

Surely one of the new musicals will pick up the Sondheim. It's a mid-sized theater. It's not in an awful location. And it has that giant billboard above it.

[EponineAmneris]

ANNIE is moving into the Palace.

[lisa902652]

the Golden is being renovated

[Jonwo]

Roundabout are in charge of the Sondheim and it's primarly for shows that they hope will have an extended run, when they don't have a show planned for it, it can be used for commericial productions but it'd mostly be plays or events rather than musicals.

Does anyone know where Cinderella could be heading? I read Kinky Boots was looking at the St James somewhere

[bwayphreak234]

Cinderella could pretty much pick any theatre... lots of empty houses. For some reason I see the Richard Rodgers or the Broadway being a good fit.

[Schuyler]

Cinderella is going into the Broadway theater

[somethingwicked]

I'd heard quite some time ago that BIG FISH was looking at the Imperial for a spring opening this coming season, but the validity of that remains to be seen.

[ACL2006]

if Nice Work continues to post numbers above $650,000; they're making a profit. And if they find a name to replace Broderick(David Hyde Pierce, please!!), it'll remain open for a while.

[NakedMaid]

I've heard that the crazy producers of SOUL DOCTOR are hoping to transfer to CIRCLE.

[bwayphreak234]

Random question, by looking at the grosses how can you determine if a show is turning a profit or losing money?

[wdwfreak]

You can't determine that without knowing the weekly running cost, which is for the most part kept private. However many people can estimate how much it is based on size of production among other factors or it gets leaked somehow.

[philly03]

The Jekyll & HYDE revival is booked (for an engagement) at a Nederlander Theatre TBA in March 2013, as well. Perhaps it could be the Lunt-Fontanne if "Ghost" lasts through January?

[jamiekennywicked]

Is Cinderella still looking to open this coming Fall? And is The Nutty Professor coming in this season?

[theaterfan862]

I really hate the idea of so many Broadway theaters being dark for too long! Now that I got that out of my system I would love for Matilda to take the Shubert or the Winter Garden if that big theater musical chairs actually happens. I am also glad that the Golden is getting a much needed renovation.

[bwayphreak234]

I wish Matilda would announce a theatre and some dates already! I really hope Cinderella happens this season. There are not enough shows confirmed for this season, and there are too many empty theatres.
