What is still to be announced for 2018-19 season ?

[ACL2006]

Moulin Rouge isn't coming until next Fall. It's taking the Hirschfeld and reworking the inside of the theater. Company appears to be aiming for next Fall as well with LuPone extending in London until March 30. Hadestown & Girl From the North Country seem like the only locks to be coming in for the Spring. Jagged Little Pill probably depends on theater availability & how the December lab goes.

So, no announcement for Nerds, Rebecca or The Nutty Professor?

<not intended to be a serious comment>

Pretty sure we're not seeing Jagged Little Pill this season.

The last I heard Hadestown was in talks with the Shuberts, but that information is from January so things could have changed -

Is Love Never Dies um... dead?

A chilling revival of Holler If Ya Hear Me is going to be announced soon.

Williams will continue in an engagement through June 2, 2019.

Unless something happens, Hadestown may not take CITS, which they've been reworking configuration-wise, anyway.

Remember when someone on here was saying that LND was coming to the Marquis this fall for a limited engagement with most of the tour cast, and that an announcement was being planned for the week before the Tonys?

I'm still scratching my head at everyone who assumes that the Longacre will be available because The Prom is going to bomb. It's been open for a mere two (three?) previews, and has gotten overwhelmingly positive unofficial buzz so far. I get that there's no celeb attached, but what on earth am I missing that so many people have it closing so fast? Personally I can't wait to see it. I really, really hope that it proves everyone wrong. 

FWIW, no one outside of people who follow theatre had heard of Come From Away before it opened, and it's doing great entirely because of positive word-of-mouth. People need a feel-good break these days. 

Back on topic, I'm personally hoping for both Hadestown and Girl From the North Country this season.

People are saying it’s going to flop because it’s barley selling tickets. If you look at the seating charts for november/ december you will see that basically the whole mez and balcony are empty.

Has anyone heard anything about The Inheritance transferring? It is getting overwhelming positive reviews in the West End and a few of my friends saw it and are raving about it. Sonia Friedman is behind it so I could see it coming over. Maybe as early as this spring because it closes in the West End in January. Thoughts?

God, I so love that quote.  I hope to see barley selling tickets for years to come.

Would love to see Usual Girls transfer (preferably to the Hayes). But I’m not sure selling out a 64 seat black box at $25 translates to success on Broadway.

I'm certain we'll see it in NYC, but since Sonia Friedman is also behind this year's big London-to-Broadway transfer, The Ferryman, they'd be smart to wait til the 19-20 season. (And there seem to be no theatres available.) I do wonder if they'll recast with American actors, like Curious Incident and Network (or John Benjamin Hickey and Vanessa Redgrave + new actors) since it's by an American playwright about America.

If for some reason the London production doesn't transfer, I'm sure one of the Off-Broadway non-profits would jump at the chance to produce it. Or Hartford Stage, which commissioned it.
