With news of "Hell's Kitchen" closing in February - What will be next at the Shubert?
Might it be "Purple Rain" sneaking in before the Tony nominations?
Tune of “When Doves Cry” (from Purple Rain)
Dig, if you will, a theater,
Empty just before season's end.
Could we take Best New Musical?
Ready for Broadway,
Timing could be our friend!
Dig, if you can, a lean year.
When nominations seem sure.
Gotta move, the Shubert is open -
No movie names, but Prince's name's a lure!
How can we get tourists spending?
Prospects are harsh and so cold.
Straight plays with stars will be trending
But get some Tony nods - we could be sold!
Gossip is surely worth floating,
The publicist's making some tries.
Is Reddit what they'll be quoting.
That’s what shows sound like
When buzz flies.
