North Carolina Theatre is currently giving clues to guess what their 2017-18 season is going to be, so I thought I'd try to get some help from anyone of you.

Clue #1: Newsies

Clue #4: At first, I thought it was West Side Story, but the hint suggests something else...

So what do you think of my guesses? What do you think is Clue #4?

"Our Guess the Season clue 4 is a bit of a doozy today. Here's a hint. You may not have heard of this musical yet but you probably have heard of the late 80s/early 90s TV show it's based on."

The Wonder Years?

Wonder Years was my thought as well (TV show + jacket), so I guess that means there's a new production happening there (ala NERDS?).

I haven't seen a show at NCT since A Chorus Line, but if Gypsy turns out to be correct I may have to go back.  Really excited for DPAC releasing their season soon.

Pink Floyd's The Wall?

But, I'm guessing #5 is The Wiz - looks like a bunch of yellow bricks to me.

As for #4 - I didn't find anything on the internets suggesting there is a musical based on The Wonder Years - even if the clues fit.  There was a musical based on The Princess Bride who was in the film and in The Wonder Years. But the clue says the musical is based on a TV show.
