Rent 20th anniversary tour, most likely during THIS season because the 2015-2016 season is already on it's way. http://www.thebookinggroup.com/

This season is way better than the one that is about to start 2015-2016 season.

Really hope Rent is true. So far San Francisco is the only place that Hedwig is going to, so it will go on tour.

It would be awesome is Les Miz and/or Aladdin go on tour.

SF is so far the only city that's specifically mentioned Hedwig? Interesting.

(For future reference: http://iatse.net/content/hedwig-and-angry-inch)

I think Les Miz is going on tour since rights appear to be on hold (nothing listed after August): http://www.mtishows.com/show_detail.asp?showid=000134 

Also, The Booking Group misspelled "inquiries." Oops: http://www.thebookinggroup.com/rent/

Got an email earlier this week that Houston (Broadway Across America) will be announcing shortly. No word on when TUTS will announce but usually they're around the same time.

Broadway in Chicago currently lists 15 shows coming into Chicago between February 9, 2016 and December 4, 2016.  Most runs are for one-three weeks.  Exceptions are The Book of Mormon (3rd visit - 6 weeks); Sponge Bob the Musical (pre-Broadway tryout - 4 weeks) and Hamilton opening an unlimited sit down production beginning September 27.)

Some omissions so far:

An American in Paris

Hedwig

Honeymoon in Vegas

Something Rotten

Curious Incident

On the Town

Newsies is returning in July/August for only two weeks (big mistake - could have been here for two months at least)

Other news: Lyric Opera opens a large scale production of The King and I in May - no casting announced yet

Drury Lane Theatre has a world premiere of a new musical based on Hazel (the maid) starring Clea Brockhurst

Christopher Wheeldon (An American in Paris) is choreographing a new Nutcracker for the Joffrey Ballet which has its world premiere in December, 2016

What is that Little Mermaid tour? The same one that was in TX this past year?

[Patti LuPone FANatic]

Posted: 1/9/16 at 9:13am

That Little Mermaid tour in TX was a non-Equity show associated with Theatre Under The Stars (TUTS).

[RippedMan]

Posted: 1/9/16 at 10:20am

It was Equity. 

Posted: 1/9/16 at 10:29pm

Anyone have any idea when PANTAGES will be announcing this month?

Theatre Under The Stars (TUTS) Houston 2016/2017 Schedule (I don't have exact dates just the dates of my subscription seats) so this hasn't been "officially" announced but these are the shows listed when I try to renew.

Main stage:
Grease - September 2016
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying - October 2016
Shrek the Musical - December 2016
An American in Paris - February 2017
Jesus Christ Superstar - April 2017
Fun Home - May 2017

TUTS Underground:
Rocky Horror Show - November 2016

I know Fun Home and Paris are tours. Typically TUTS is 50/50 locally produced vs. tours so I'm not sure on the rest. Best guess is Grease is a tour to follow TV special and the rest are local but I could be wrong.

Broadway in Houston/Broadway Across America should announce shortly.

Ehhh. That TUTS schedule is slightly disappointing. Ah well, I don't live there full time anymore.

Looks like the Keybank Broadway Series in Cleveland is announcing March 22nd. And they've already announced that they're bumping up to a 3 week run for each show!

[dwirth]

Posted: 1/13/16 at 9:48pm

The last published total I saw, from August, was that Cleveland had 32,000 season ticket subscribers - the most of any Broadway Series in the country. That means that about 75% of each two week run is already sold out prior to any single or group tickets being sold = a three week run is needed.

Many things can be said about Cleveland.... BUT Playhouse Square and its multiple (beautiful, restored) theaters and theater companies is a major local asset and theater-going draw.

Apparently there is a Non-Union Fame tour going out. It's not a company I've heard of it.
