Amazon says October 30, but the cast album website at http://castalbums.org/recordings/Lady-Be-Good-2015-Encores-Concert-Cast/29488 says October 16

Hoping it's Dames at Sea, or even Noises Off!

We'll find out if it's officially announced this week (and not a surprise) or if BWW does another live blog of the Tony rehearsal. I went last year and that whole rap thing Hugh Jackman did was not done during the rehearsal and was a complete shock when I saw the actual ceremony at the Times Square simulcast.

Will they be singing the "All I Ask Of You" Duet from his STAGES album?
