‘Music City’ Transfer Put on Hiatus Over Legal Issues at New Times Square Venue

Undisclosed legal problems at the new Times Square venue prompted refunds, with producers instituting a brief pause.

Overview

  • The affected site is 512 West 42nd Street, a former Playboy Club space being converted into a Nashville-style bar called the Wicked Tickle.
  • Producer Gabrielle Palitz said legal problems came to light during tech preparations and described the stoppage as a regroup.
  • Ticket buyers were directed to return to their original point of purchase for refunds.
  • The musical drew strong notices and multiple extensions at Bedlam’s West End Theatre, with the original cast previously slated to return for the transfer.
