Rumor: a Broadway World forum member spotted a (since deleted) job posting that stated “The New Amsterdam Theater is currently seeking friendly, enthusiastic, and reliable individuals with strong communication skills to join the Ushering Team for the opening of one of our shows in September.”
This has led some forum members to speculate Aladdin may be closing for Hercules to move in.

Re: Hercules on Stage
I don't buy it. As much as I would love to see Hercules open on Broadway, there's just no way Disney would close down Aladdin when it's consistently one of Broadway's top earners. Just this past week, Aladdin was the #4 highest-grossing show after The Lion King, Wicked, and Hamilton.

Re: Hercules on Stage
Yes, the forum members point that out. It is very strange, and the reference to “opening” a show may have been in error, or even for a one-night limited engagement.
