talking to a coworker today whos uncle works for the shubert org, and he said there was a clause in DEHs contract that would force them out when a certain production was ready for broadway in late 2019/early 2020. Anyone else know anything about this?
Considering the show is still selling out to SRO crowds almost three years in, I don’t think they are shuttering any time soon barring a major surprise.

Anything is possible. And, I'm sure you would agree. That doesn't make any sense.
If anything, it could move to another Shubert owned theatre - if Shubert producers are eyeing that specific theatre for an upcoming show. That happens quite frequently.

Who knows?"
100% agree it makes zero sense. That’s why I’m wondering if anyone has heard anything of the like. But why not give the other production the other Shubert theatre? Or is t because the music box is smaller
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
There could be a clause that another show would get that theater (which doesn't remotely mean such a clause would be exercised, only that it exists). There would never be a clause that the show had to close at that point.
Yeah, and I heard from my best friend's aunt's friend's goat that Once on this Island is getting another revival. Don't believe everything you hear, especially if it seems absurd. Just Evan was told to do, you just nod and confirm.
This thread is great! Please don’t lock it.... Let’s guess what could be the show..... hmm. It has to be an obvious his so I’d say a HOLLER IF YOU HEAR ME revival

Hi all, while there is likely zero chance that "Dear Evan Hansen" will close any time soon, we don't see any reason to close the thread just yet. From our perspective, and as others have politely pointed out, the OP's question probably comes from at least a nugget of contractual truth, even if the likelihood of it happening is practically nonexistent.
As other posters continue to share insight as to explain how contracts, closings, etc. work, we think that there is certainly value in communicating that knowledge to other folks. If at some point the valuable information ceases, and things get way off point, we will consider whether or not locking is appropriate. But, for now, we don't think we're there yet.

If this was the first thread to be opened about something not really based in truth I'd understand, but this is just one in many. No need to get up in arms about it, maybe just don't bump it?
I'm sure there are some stop clauses in their contract, but as other said, even if they do have a "once this other production is ready to open here you are out", I doubt they would exercise it and move a sure hit for many years to come
