Nathan Lane's final performance in the play November (I discussed it here) will be July 13 so if you're anywhere near Broadway before then, that's the time to go see that one. Previews started on December 20 and the play opened January 17.
The producers haven't yet announced if they'll bring in a new star or close the play down. I'm guessing the latter since last week, Playbill reported attendance was at 49.5%. If you have Nathan Lane and good reviews and you're only selling half your seats, what kind of business will you do with your second choice?
You might get a kick in the box office from the Tony Awards. They're June 15 and it's not unlikely November will win a couple…but the most likely is for Nathan and he's leaving. So the show probably will, too.
Speaking of the Tony Awards, it's been announced that Whoopi Goldberg will be the host this year. Anyone have any theories regarding that pick? We can all name types of people who need some extra encouragement to watch the Tonys…but can you name one kind who'd say, "Oh, we have to watch the Tony Awards. Whoopi's hosting!"?
