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 knew who I was this morning, but I've changed a few times since then.”
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.

And, despite announcing the move, Telecharge is STILL (as of 5 minutes ago) selling tickets for the Golden. Makes no sense to me. My Network ticket worked out OK after that venue change; can only hope this one works out as well.

I'm not holding my breath. Unlike the Network change, it's not a simple transfer of seat numbers. The center orchestra section of the Cort has only 12 seats. Center orchestra at the Golden is from 17-23 seats. The configuration of the mezzanine is also completely different. In my opinion, they should have refunded all the seats sold so far and halted sales while they figure out what they're doing.
