As BroadwayWorld reported this afternoon, Paper Mill Playhouse has just revealed its 2016-17 season, featuring four musicals, one play and a highly anticipated US premiere. Following the company's annual picture game inspiring audiences to guess the upcoming season, Paper Mill has followed it up with a second image, this time explaining the first. How many productions did you guess correctly?

Paper Mill Playhouse will open its 2016-2017 season with the Mel Brooks' laugh-out-loud musical spectacle The Producers (September 28-October 23). In November, Paper Mill Playhouse will launch the national tour of the US premiere musical The Bodyguard (November 25-January 1) starring Grammy Award nominee and R&B superstar Deborah Cox. Based on Lawrence Kasdan's Oscar-nominated Warner Bros. film, which starred Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner, and adapted by Academy Award-winner Alexander Dinelaris (Birdman), The Bodyguard had its world premiere in London's West End where it was nominated for four Laurence Olivier Awards including best new musical and won best new musical at the Whatsonstage Awards.

In February, Paper Mill Playhouse presents A Comedy of Tenors (February 1-February 26), the critically acclaimed sequel to Ken Ludwig's Lend Me a Tenor. Paper Mill Playhouse presented Lend Me a Tenor in 2013 and it remains one of the theater's most popular plays.

Next spring, Paper Mill Playhouse will bring some classic rock to New Jersey with Million Dollar Quartet (March 29-April 23), the smash-hit musical inspired by the famed recording session that brought together rock 'n' roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins.

Paper Mill Playhouse will close its 78th season with the practically perfect musical, Mary Poppins (May 24-June 25). Based on the book by P.L. Travers and one of the most popular films of all time, Mary Poppins is an enchanting mixture of irresistible story, unforgettable songs and breathtaking dance numbers.
