For "Hamilton" which has essentially sold out its extended run at the Public Theater off Broadway, the question has never been whether he would go to Broadway, but when. The musical, tracking Miranda its winner Tony "In the Heights", had already built an amazing frenzy based solely on the windows of the industry title development rumors, and the crowd standing-room and rave reviews in audience seemed only to have fast track transfer of the series.
It would have been feasible - if only briefly - to get the show in a house uptown before the deadline of April 23 for Tony eligibility this season, and the team of producers, including commercial producer Jeffrey Seller and the public, seriously considered the option to capitalize on the momentum.
"The agreement we have reached is that this show is too good not to take the time to be the most perfect version, Plato himself," Eustis said.
Although not so late that the spectator enthusiasm fade theater, early summer give Miranda, who wrote the songs and book and also stars in the show, time to work with other creative to improve production before moving. "The spectacle of a work of art and a work in progress," said the salesman. "Lin is not done."
Besides that, holding off Broadway avoids putting "Hamilton" Tony containment "Fun Home", another well received alum Public Theater will open its own transfer Broadway in April. Other titles "Hamilton" will not compete this season include "Finding Neverland" and "Something rotten!" Harvey Weinstein (The next season is much more of a blank slate, with only a handful of new musical on the agenda - so far -. Including "Loyalty")
The production of $ 12 million Broadway "Hamilton", staged by director Thomas Kail and choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler (both partners "In the Heights"), Miranda and his team returned to Rodgers, where "In the Heights "ran for about three years and won five Tony Awards in the process.
"Hamilton" ends his career in the Public May 3 and will return to trial for two weeks before the July 13 start of previews. The show opens on August 6th Rodgers.
Actor Brian d'Arcy James currently has a scene-stealing turn as King George in the musical, one-infused hip-hop look at the life of Alexander Hamilton. But soon it will come out production to star in "something rotten" and its replacement by the Broadway run of "Hamilton" has not yet been chosen.
