The Kennedy Center just emailed its 2015-16 Broadway lineup. (Apologies if someone already posted -- I didn't see it).
Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, Oct. 6-24, 2015 Matilda the Musical, Dec. 15, 2015-Jan. 10, 2016 A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder, Jan. 13-30, 2016 Kinky Boots,June 14-July 10, 2016 The Bridges of Madison County: A New Musical, June 28-July 17, 2016 The Phantom of the Opera, July 13-Aug. 20, 2016
There appears to be a huge gap between January and June, so I'll bet there are additions. Also, the last three can overlap because I believe that Bridges will be in the Eisenhower Theater, while Kinky Boots and Phantom will be in the Opera House.
Audrey, the Phantom Phanatic, who nonetheless would rather be Jean Valjean, who knew how to make lemonade out of lemons.
As for the other DPAC (Durham) clues, I'm guessing that the "impossible" one means Cinderella. I think the one about a time when music was a way to handle your troubles is Cabaret. They announce Saturday.
Just remembering you've had an "and"
When you're back to "or"
Makes the "or" mean more than it did before
The Little Mermaid Sept. 15-20 Cinderella Oct. 27-Nov.1 Newsies Dec. 1-6 Beauty and the Beast Dec. 29-Jan. 3 Motown Jan 19-24 Kinky Boots Feb. 16-21 The Book of Mormon March 8-13 Cabaret April 5-10 Wicked May 25-June 19
Wicked and B&tB are season specials.
*sigh* All I can say is...they want New Orleans to be a first-run theatre town. Problem with that is...you can't be a first-run theatre town if you don't bring the first-run tours in! Was hoping for Beautiful, If/Then, and/or Hedwig.
@OperaBwayLover "The reason that I know Avenue Q, Cabaret, and Little Mermaid will all be touring is because I work at a theatre as a house manager" Did you make up Avenue Q??
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

AHLiebross, I highly doubt that there will be any additions to the Kennedy Center's lineup. The gap that they have is common. The Kennedy Center even has a gap this year. Gigi ended in February and The Book of Mormon is coming until June, I think.
I got an email saying A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder will be coming next year at the Golden Gate and I could not be happier. They also said the next season will be revealed in late April.

BEYOND EXCITED! What a great season. Maybe this Titanic will transfer to Broadway.
Great season from the Ahmanson. Sad they only have 1 slot left since the remaining possible shows are all shows I'd love to see • Little Dancer • Ragtime • Hedwig
Has the Ahmanson ever brought in a non-Equity tour (which last I heard Ragtime is going to be)? Just curious if Ragtime would even be considered by them.
