It's only listed on Playbill as "in the works" which is where shows seem to go to die. (or are so deep "in development" that they aren't anywhere near to production.)
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
If the cast is available I don't see why it shouldn't. The crop of new plays so far this season has been sub par at best, so it would have a very good chance of at least a nomination for Best Play. Hell, two of the fall's new plays (PERFORMERS and ANARCHIST) probably aren't even eligible for Tony nominations because they had such short runs. The only unknown quantities left this season are LUCKY GUY and THE NANCE.
Right, I totally forgot about that too. So those three plus DETROIT equals your Best Play nominees. I don't see anything from the fall season or THE OTHER PLACE being recognized with a nomination.

To give you an idea of how infrequently that "in the works" list is updated, the DETROIT listing there is from when the original production was planning to move directly to Broadway from Steppenwolf. It even lists Austin Pendleton as the director and says something like "direct from Steppenwolf". That thing never gets updated; it still lists stuff like the Cromer/Kidman SWEET BIRD that have been dead for a while.
I can't imagine DETROIT would be terribly expensive to run, and the PH production has recognizable names and good reviews on its side. I wouldn't be surprised if a transfer happened eventually.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body
I totally realize that -- it seems that if there has been ANY inkling/rumor that a show has sights on b'way, it ends up on that list.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
And somehow producers and creative teams are still able to shock us with show announcements without any sort of buzz/gossip/rumor. This season, before official press releases, I hadn't heard a drop about THE TESTAMENT OF MARY.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
Same as Scandalous that appeared on Broadway out of nowhere and disappeared off Broadway out of nowhere.
Detroit would be amazing at the the Circle in the Square.

Circle in the Square couldn't accommodate the set.
