What's Next for the Belasco?

Shall we?

Apparently Network.

If the Network speculation is true, does this mean the Cort will undergo renovations or could something else slip in there this season?

My guess would be renovations during the fall and maybe something in the Spring.

The Prom and Network will both have jumped ship to a different theater from the Cort....odd

I'm late to the party, what are the Network rumors? 

I'm still hoping for Dreamgirls to transfer so maybe..just maybe. lol.

To be honest when I walked bathe theater it looked very run down and old, same goes for that street. I can see why productions are leaving it.

The rumors are just that it's moved to the Belasco (plus some casting, go to the Network thread for that).

And I hear ya about Dreamgirls, but I'm not that interested in it if Amber Riley is no longer apart of the cast.

My interest in DREAMGIRLS disappeared when they decided to replace all the music at the end with “Listen”.

[RippedMan]

Odd that Dreamgirls has had multiple casting notices and dates announced, but no theater. Maybe they're waiting for "Head Over Heels?" 

And is the Belasco "bigger" than the Court in terms of backstage? Maybe that's the advantage. I don't think the Court is bad, and Network is bound to be a hit regardless of which theater.

For some reason and I dont know why but I feel like Crazy for you is gonna end it up here..

[SomethingPeculiar]

Belasco probably has better backstage features than the notoriously small Cort, since it was renovated only 8 years ago.

I, too, am very curious about where CRAZY FOR YOU will land, if it is still coming in. Hudson? Winter Garden? The Lunt?
Worth keeping an eye on Band’s Visit. It still has amazing numbers, but they’ve dropped 7 of the last 8 weeks. It hits 1 year in December; will it be able to survive the winter?

[RippedMan]

The Band's Visit is fine. It won't be a smash hit, but it will be a "Fun Home" type hit. It will make back its money. 

But I think the Belaso, at this point, seems like a better fit for Network. 

[HogansHero]

no one has ever bragged about the backstage attributes of the Belasco.
