Wow, they went out of their way to hide this on the web site.

Not bad, though Stomp should be a special, I believe.

So did anyone notice that (unless it's a typo) subscribers to the second Sunday evening performance are scheduled to see In The Heights at Thursday, 11 am???

Really, we're supposed to take a day off of work?

That really had better be a misprint!

An observation -

For Dreamgirls, Baltimore is the first stop after the Apollo Theater.

A not-too-bad upcoming season for the Hippodrome.

Does anyone know if Topol will be with the tour when Fiddler heads to Baltimore?

Renewal notice shows that it is Topol in Fiddler.

Also shows 3 specials - Mamma Mia from Nov 24-29, Nutcracker from Dec 1-6, and Phantom from April 8 "for a multi-week" engagement

As much as I want to believe that, the renewal notice two seasons ago listed Michael York in Camelot. That didn't stop the bait-and-switch to Lou Diamond Phillips.

I am hoping this casting holds up, so it can be at least 5/6 of a decent season.

I am really ticked off at Stomp being a part of the season. When are they going to stop scheduling gimmic shows as Broadway shows (Cirque Dreams and The Grinch being the ones I refer to). I would much rather have had Mamma Mia in the season and Stomp as the special.

I wonder with Phantom's multi-week schedule if it was originally going to be part of the season. Mamma Mia and Phantom have both been here recently, so maybe that's why neither of them got added.
