Since Carnival/Mardi Gras is now behind us, I'd be willing to bet New Orleans will announce soon, if not this week. They tend to wait til after the news buzz surrounding Carnival dies down and newsworthy stories are slim to get the maximum amount of attention.
And meanwhile, DC's tour announcements....

Re. West Palm Beach - is that the first Matilda one-weeker we've seen?
^ No. It is also playing Tampa for one week.

Both the Kennedy Center and the National Theater confirmed to me that they would be announcing their seasons in the next few weeks. I don't know why the Warner Theater doesn't release an officia season because they get quite a few shows even if it's just for a night or two. What are people hoping for in DC? One would think that because it is the nation's capital that evey touring production would come to town! I live in Virginia and am also waiting to hear the season announcements for Broadway in Richmond and Broadway in Roanoke and am hoping that the Broadway in Charlottesville returns to the John Paul Jones Arena!!

Durham Performing Arts Center is going to be announcing their season next week! Below is a video giving hints at the shows.
Beautiful: The Carole King Musical (Confirmed)
42nd Street?
If/Then?
A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder?
Matilda?
The Sound of Music?
Trying to figure out the other two hints...
^^If my memory is serving me correctly, I'm associating "singing and dancing in the aisles" with being a tagline of Mamma Mia's. I'd hardly call it a classic, though, as she does in the video.
Updated On: 2/27/15 at 02:59 PM
Anyone have any guesses to what Boston is getting? I'd say for sure Beautiful, Gentlemen's Guide, Sound of Music, and maybe Matilda. Plus I wouldn't be surprised to see Wicked and Jersey Boys return. Any guesses or inside info?

When I saw the "Gentleman's Guide" itinerary several months ago, Boston was not on it; I then heard we'd get it in the tour's second year. Things could have since changed.
