considering they've been doing one new musical lately every season makes figuring this out even harder.
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.

I hear the new musical will be "Bandstand," as a pre-Broadway run.

If the new musical is Bandstand, which photo is that?

Movin' Out seems like a good guess.

^The one of the bandstand with the "support our troops" banner.

I'm guessing the first one is something like Hair or American Idiot.

Last one made me think of The Light in the Piazza, also the middle is probably a play, because usually they always have a play as the 3rd slot.

Isn't the first one "hang loose?" Is their a musical about love in Hawaii?

The last is a wedding in a plaza with a peacock. Piazza was my first guess, but why the peacock?

These are either hyper-specific where every detail matters or as broad as can be.

The American premiere of From Here To Eternity?

Home Street Home?

I think "hang loose" is just the pinky and the thumb. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that is the hand gesture for "punk rock" where I'd also guess American Idiot with the heart but I feel like that wouldn't happen so soon.

You're right. I should have googled before saying that.

They often do shows that closed only a season or two before on Broadway. So now I'm certain it's American Idiot.

Nope. It's the sign language for "I Love You"

I'd be surprised but interested if that were true.

The punk rock sign also has the thumb on the two middle fingers, so that's true. But I feel like the "I love you" sign and the heart is redundant.

No it's not, GreasedLightning. The punk rock sign has no thumb. just the pinky and the pointer finger.

You're literally proving my point. Paper Mill's image has the thumb sticking out. It is different. It forms an L.

For what it's worth, the last image is of the Elephant House at the Bronx Zoo.

And you're literally misunderstanding me. I said the punk rock symbol HAS the thumb and that you were right. It's just a guessing game. No need to get worked up.
