According to producers, the show, which stars Mary Bridget Davies as Joplin, will reopen at a to-be-announced venue in March. Joplin is moving to make room for the previously announced Broadway run of Will Eno's The Realistic Joneses.

I saw the play at Yale Rep. It was very well cast. It reminded me a little of Detroit -- with neighboring couples interacting -- but I like Joneses better. It's more accessible than Eno's other work but there is the usual strangeness. I wouldn't call it great but I found it entertaining. I really liked Parker Posey but I'm sure Marisa Tomei, who I think is playing her part, will be fine.

A solid, unremarkable work. I think I liked it a bit less than lowwriter but agree with his/her assessment: more accessible than previous Eno, some strangeness. There is craft, for sure. but rather unsatisfying.
I'm liked Posey as well. Not a big Tomei fan do like Toni Colette very much.

... if Joplin were to move to an Off-Bway venue in the same season it opened, would it still be eligible for Tony nominations? I assume it would given that it plays a minimum number of performances on Bway? Just curious..

Yes, it would be eligible.

I thought there used to be a rule that shows had to wait a certain amount of time before moving from a Broadway house and contract to an off Broadway house and contract. Now some shows seem to do it during intermission. What are the contractual implications of this?

I have never heard of any such rule, and I don't understand how it would operate. Whose contract would have this provision in it?
