Itamar Moses and David Yazbek’s new musical The Band’s Visit may be eyeing a Broadway transfer in fall 2017, according to the New York Post. The show officially opened Off-Broadway December 8 to a large number of positive reviews from New York City critics, and sold out the remainder of its run shortly after. Following a second extension announcement, the David Cromer-helmed production is now playing through January 8, 2017.
According to the Post, because the show requires a larger Broadway house and availability is limited in the spring, a transfer is more likely in the fall.
The cast also includes George Abud, Bill Army, Erik Liberman, Andrew Polk, Rachel Prather, Jonathan Raviv, Sharone Sayegh, Kristen Sieh, Ari’el Stachel, Daniel David Stewart, and Alok Tewari.
According to the Post, another Off-Broadway show may also be making the jump to Broadway, with hopes for a spring transfer—Sam Gold’s contemporary staging of Othello at New York Theatre Workshop. James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli is attached to the downtown production as a commercial producer.
The cast of Othello also includes David Wilson Barnes, Marsha Stephanie Blake, Blake DeLong, Glenn Fitzgerald, Slate Holmgren, Anthony Michael Lopez, Matthew Maher, Nikki Massoud, Kyle Vincent Terry, and Finn Wittrock.
Both NYTW and Atlantic Theater Company were asked for comment.
