Harry Potter, Olaf the snowman and Spongebob Squarepants all plan to perform on Broadway this season, as will Michael Moore, Mark Rylance and Elizabeth McGovern; new plays by Ayad Akhtar and Tracy Letts; and revivals of My Fair Lady, M. Butterfly, and Carousel.
Of the 18 shows listed in the link above, which are you most looking forward to?
Though neither are confirmed: SWEET CHARITY & DREAMGIRLS.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
My Fair Lady, of course. The side story of who will play Eliza may be more entertaining than the show.
I'm really pretty excited about City Center production of Brigadoon in November. Never seen it. Been wanting to see it and now get it with Kelli O'Hara and Steven Pasquale in the leads.
Honestly? Probably Harry Potter, thought I don't want to admit it. I'm a big fan of the books and though I know the script for it is kind of horrendous, everyone I know who's seen it in London says it's a technical spectacle.
If Hadestown gets confirmed, though, that blows everything else out of the water imo.
- "Frozen" (still not impressed w/casting...I think the set design will be impressive; lighting design will send ice freezing all over the stage; puppets..the stageworks will be the star)
- "Sweet Charity" (will they stage it for a smaller theater like 9th Ave or re-stage and blow it bigger; please keep the all female orchestra)
Farinelli & The King, My Fair Lady, and Carousel. Carousel I'm honestly only interested in because of Joshua Henry and Jessie Mueller. I'd see anything with them in it.
