What theatres do you think will be open in time for 2018-2019 season and which shows do you will open where?

I think the Al Hirschfeld, Belasco, Brooks Atkinson, Cort, Longarce, Lunt Fontanne, Marquis, Palace, Stephen Sondheim, and Winter Garden theatres are all mostly likely to be empty come next spring.
And I remember this musical I remember their brilliance And I might never sleep again...

I don't know about the Brooks Atkinson being open come spring, I think Waitress has at least 1-2 years left, and with very savvy producers behind it.. I am sure they will find stars to filter in.

Kinky Boots may have the same fate if they don't get more recognizable names to a 2018 audience.

A Bronx Tale should be gone by Labor Day.

I think the Broadhurst may open up for the spring.

I could see The Bands Visit running out of steam shortly after the Tonys and closing by the New Year.

I hope not, but the Imperial may very likely be open.

I hope not, but Circle in The Square may be open

I hope they fill it quicker, but The Lycuem

The Kerr might be open if Springsteen doesn't extend again
Depending on how it fares with NY audiences, The Hudson may be open.

I agree the producers behind Waitress have found a way to keep Chicago running with stunt casting, but they tried the same thing with Pippin and we all know how that ended.

The Lunt-Fontanne will probably still have Summer, unless there’s a sharp drop off at the end of the summer. It’s a hard show to predict because word of mouth amongst Theater folks is so bad, but it’s been holding strong with grosses over $1mil since it’s opened.

I don't think Mockingbird will close in under a month though. It opens in early December, it certainly won't be closed in time for a show to go into the Shubert by the spring.

It seems like we might be in for an incredibly slight new season. With so many shows succeeding incredibly well right now, there doesn’t seem like there will be a whole ton of turnover this year. Could this be one of the slimmest years of new openings in the past few decades? It seems like rather little has been announced for the new season, and I’m just not sure there’s going to be space for much more.

If there is no dinosaur on the stage of Broadway next year, I doubt I’d root for King Kong to last longer than maybe the Tony season.

As long as Hadestown finds a theatre, I'll be happy!

Honestly, I doubt Beautiful, Waitress, Kinky Boots and School of Rock will close in that time- those shows have proven that they still hold up well in both the tourist months and the rest of the year. Also, all of those shows have recouped their initial investments, so unless there's a pretty sharp drop in ticket sales I can see them each sticking around for a few more years. I also think Nickelodeon will keep pumping money into Spongebob for as long as they possibly can whether it does well at the Tonys or not- besides, I'm going to guess that it's going to start pulling in more money as kids get out of school for the summer and start vacationing in the city. I have a feeling they'll treat Spongebob the same way Disney treats all of their shows- unless they start really losing money it's going to stick around.

God, the almighty and all-knowing, has misplaced a cup?

Also, I know they’ve kept saying this for years, but even if Spongebob closes, the Palace will be going under construction, so it might not even be available next season.
