About two weeks ago there was a test event up for a show at the Lyceum theatre has anyone heard anything about this? Usually once a test events goes up news goes out a few days after? I wonder what show it could be and if it possibly fell through like a man of no importantance

I kept hearing the Lyceum will be home to the West End cabaret but I think that was debunked. Do you happen to have a screenshot of the test event?
The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince

Last I heard, Kate Berlant’s one-person show Kate was set to play the Lyceum early next season.
Oh look, a bibu!

Looks like the mystery has been solved:

Synopsis of the play from its 2019 run in Chicago:
"After a brutal car wreck in the mountains of Oregon, a young couple seeks shelter from a blizzard in a small cabin. But the cabin's seemingly innocent inhabitants: four children and their minder, quickly start to expose the couple's secrets, unmake everything they know about themselves, and hurl them towards a potentially sinister destination. Grey House is a new horror play about the gravity of the past, and the cruel inevitability of its pull."

Love a horror play! But this sounds like a movie or something I watched not too long ago but can’t place exactly what it was..

Sounds like they must have names attached with Joe Mantello at the helm.

A Red Orchid, where this play premiered, is a TINY theater. Where the front row is on stage and there are only two rows of seats. It's hilarious to imagine this playing at the Lyceum. I adored this play but you should know it's not just a horror play but also incredibly WEIRD and a little gross.
I'm excited!

Very surprised this is going into the Lyceum and not CITS
and yes, this play gets VERY weird and gross (wondering if they keep the nudity as well)

Posted: 2/20/23 at 5:02pmWouldn’t be surprised if Laurie Metcalf is in this…she works with him a lot and there is a character who fits her well that has been cast.

Posted: 2/20/23 at 5:21pmMetcalf being cast would test my lack of interest in the horror genre.

They can always beef up a production. That's why you've got tiny productions of Sweeney and massive productions. Someone must have seen it and loved it to open it cold on Broadway.

She has a Tony nomination from her work in MISERY, so I definitely would think horror is somehow in her wheelhouse

Metcalf can do anything.
And I’m still holding out hope that Mantello’s pre-pandemic revival of Virginia Woolf? starring Metcalf will see the light of day again.

Yeah, I know it is in her wheelhouse and hopefully didn't suggest otherwise. It's just not high on my interests in what I want to see on stage.

I highly doubt that but weirder things have happened. As we know, Metcalf really doesn't sell tickets, and her costar Rupert Everett means even less. Maybe at an off-Bway nonprofit or for Audible.
The whole Metcalf run felt like a Rudin exercise in trying to "build" a star. He produced LADY BIRD, DOLL'S HOUSE 2, THREE TALL WOMEN, HILLARY & CLINTON, and VIRGINIA WOOLF. We got some good plays out of it, but 3TW is the only one that recouped (and barely so at that).
