I mentioned in the Newsies thread, but it'd probably get lost as the discussion re: tickets, reviews, etc. get posted.
But could DAMES AT SEA (Announced for 2014) or FORUM (which is planning for Spring) be moving into the Nederlander?

Posted: 6/22/14 at 3:39pmDid FIDDLER announce a theatre? I cannot remember...

Posted: 6/22/14 at 3:40pmI believe Fiddler was coming in the 2015-2016 season.

No, FIDDLER didn't announce a theatre, but I think Danny Birstein, who was announced as being courted for Tevye is tied up with Cabaret through January.

Posted: 6/22/14 at 3:45pmDisney DID workshop a Muppets musical recently, right?

Posted: 6/22/14 at 3:50pmThe Nederlander is a good size for a mid-size musical and I could see either Dames at Sea or Forum or perhaps even Can Can fitting in. Before Rent it's location so far south was considered a major factor in the theatre being a flop house. My guess is with a decent number of theatres opening up it may not get booked until the spring.

FORUM... isn't coming in until the spring. I can't see the Nederlander sitting dark all fall.
With its positive Times review, I wonder if SIDE SHOW will be part of the equation for this coming season.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Posted: 6/22/14 at 4:10pmIf the producers of Fun Home are smart, they'll wait for Circle in the Square after The River closes. It would get swallowed up in the Nederlander.

Posted: 6/22/14 at 4:12pmI think Fun Home could work well in the Booth after Elephant Man.

Posted: 6/22/14 at 4:17pmNederlander being open perfect time to bring back RENT!
#15What's going into the Nederlander?
Posted: 6/22/14 at 4:20pmYes, because it's been 10 minutes since Rent was in NYC!

Posted: 6/22/14 at 4:25pmWell if Disney wants to keep it, and it wouldn't be book until 2015 anyway, Hunchback is premiering late this year/early next year.
#18What's going into the Nederlander?
Posted: 6/22/14 at 5:10pmI'm wondering if "Allegiance", is looking. I *think* a Nederlander House is what they were looking for after the San Diego run. Also, I'm wondering if "Dames at Sea", "Forum", possibly "Side Show" (although I doubt it), but what about "Finding Neverland" is looking for houses if the Boston/A.R.T. run goes well, it could open December/January.

Posted: 6/22/14 at 5:12pmThere is no way Newsies would close so suddenly without them having something lined up. I would assume something is going to be announced soon.
#20What's going into the Nederlander?
Posted: 6/22/14 at 5:17pmI heard that On Your Feet, the Gloria Estefan musical is opening there.

#21What's going into the Nederlander?
Posted: 6/22/14 at 5:22pmI believe On Your Feet was slated for a 2015-2016 opening.
#22What's going into the Nederlander?
Posted: 6/22/14 at 5:25pmKeep in mind: Disney doesn't necessarily need the Nederlander specifically if they want to keep a third show open on Broadway. They have a good relationship with the Nederlander Org. and very well may be looking at one of their bigger theatres (the Palace and Marquis both could surely be open in the spring.)
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

Posted: 6/22/14 at 11:28pmAlthough mum was the word on the specific show, I am aware that Newsies was closing to make way for a new show in the fall. At least thats what I was told about a month or so ago.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's Side Show considering the recent transfers of Kennedy Center's Follies and Ragtime. If Newsies is closing in August, and Side Show closes at KC on 7/13, it could still load in and start previews before the end of the fall. Follies announced their transfer a few days before it closed at KC and within 2 months was able to start previews at the Marquis.

Closed @ Kennedy Center: 6/19/11
