Season ticket holders can exchange one show from top to any other show. Any strong opinions out there?
I will be passing up on A Gentleman's Guide (very underwhelmed when I saw it on Broadway in Aug) But there are so many choices for an exchange! :) And the rest of the 5 show series are awesome!
Broadway in Detroit posted that "subscribers will receive their renewals next week," so I'm assuming it's safe to say the Detroit season will be posted in that same timeframe. Hope we get a good season!
why must Philly always be one of the last to announce their season!?!?!?!
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011.

If I didn't think our lineups could get any worse, Jacksonville, Florida's new season will be. The Phantom of the Opera, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, 42nd Street and Motown. Our extras are Beauty and the Beast and Mamma Mia.
Orlando's announcement is 8:30 tonight. Curious to see what we're getting, since this year was awful (three non-equity shows, which for a city this size, and with a gorgeous new venue, is a travesty).
If next season isn't any good, I'll be subscribing to the Tampa season, which is outstanding.
The Illusionists (Starting Sept.22) Newsies (Starting Oct.13) Cinderella (Starting Jan.12) Love Letters (Starting Feb.9) Motown (Starting Mar.22) Dirty Dancing (Starting May 24)
Eh. Kind of an underwhelming season if you ask me. But I guess its ok since we're only a short car drive away from Broadway! Looking forward to seeing what the other theatre in CT have to offer.
Very excited about Charlotte! I'm doing the 8 show packages for Bridges and opting out of Wizard of Oz (probably for BOM as that's what the the rest of the family wants to see). But thrilled to have Matilda and SOM and excited to here what the mystery show is!

"There’s nothing quite like the power and the passion of Broadway music. "
^^^ Seriously. I've been anxiously waiting for an announcement.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
