If it's already been posted my apologies but The National Theater in Washington DC has announced their 2015-2016 season. Somewhat underwhelming to me. Thoughts?
Cinderella
Motown
Annie
Jersey Boys
The Wizard Of Oz

Well that's a bit underwhelming.

Annie and Wizard of Oz are def. Non-union. Cinderella, I'm not sure. So that's a pretty ho-hum season. Nothing really new besides Motown.

BRIDGES and GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE are still coming to DC, but they are playing the Kennedy Center as well as BEAUTIFUL, MATILDA, KINKY BOOTS, and PHANTOM. I was hoping for WICKED and CABARET. This particular set of shows playing the National are just so blah.

Ray: It's not the tour, but Cabaret is actually playing at The Signature Theatre in Arlington starting May 12th-June 28th.
The Kennedy Center is my second home (besides the Signature Theatre), and it looks like it will stay that way!

There is too much wonderful theatre in DC to waste my money on that lousy lineup (with the exception of Cinderella - unless it's non equity).

Awful season. Guess I'll be staying away from the National for the most part this next year.

Wow, what a truly boring season. And wasn't Once at the Kennedy Center like three seconds ago?

Yup, Once was at the Kennedy Center summer of 2015.
I must admit I'm quite pleased Fun Home was announced. I was rather disappointed when it wasn't in the Kennedy Center line up. Anyone have any idea when tickets for just Fun Home go on sale? I have a horrible time trying to navigate the National Theater's website and find any information on there.

Is it typical for them not to have anything on from the end of July through to November?
