tl;dr for December 4th

• "The Boss" extends again - "Springsteen on Broadway" will now play at the Walker Kerr Theatre through June 30, 2018; tickets for the extension will be made available on December 19th via lottery to those who already signed up through Ticketmaster's Verified Fan
• On the other side of the scale, Julie Taymor's disappointing revival of "M. Butterly" (read my review) will close on January 14th, six weeks earlier than previously planned; meanwhile, Ms. Taymor's next project, a stage adaption of her Beatles-inspired film "Across the Universe" (2007), is picking up steam
• Michael Riedel reports a revival of "The Unsinkable Molly Brown", a largely forgotten Meredith Wilson musical from 1960, is headed to Broadway next season, following a well-reviewed summer production at The Muny in Saint Louis; as luck would have it, the ship sinking that brought her fame might also be back, with a revival of "Titanic", the 1997 Best Musical (currently playing in Seoul, South Korea), in the works; Broadway might also be graced by a revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber's 2005 flop, "The Woman in White" from London
• Lea Salonga called it in this tweet, but last week saw increasing revelations of sexual assault from men in the arts, from the Met Opera's conductor James Levine, to playwright Israel Horovitz, and casting director Justin Huff; expect more 
• Joe Papp (1921-1991), the Godfather of Off-Broadway and creator of Shakespeare in the Park and the Public Theater, has been memorialized with the intersection of Lafayette Street and Astor Place (location of the Public Theater) co-named "Joe Papp Way"; "Illyria", a play about Papp's early years, runs at the Public through Sunday; free tickets are given out 90 minutes prior to each performance
