Most anticipated production for the 2016-2017 season?

Of course, like many of you, I am excited to see the "Hello, Dolly!" revival, but I am also interested to see how "In Transit" will be.

Personally, I am looking forward to Great Comet more than anything else. 

I think that Hello, Dolly is highly anticipated purely because of Midler.

I should add - as far as plays go, I am extremely excited for the incredibly well-cast production of Les Liaisons Dangereuses.

possibly Midler's HELLO, DOLLY? For new shows: GREAT COMET & DEAR EVAN HANSEN.

I'm the most excited for Great Comet and Dear Evan Hansen! I saw The Bandstand at Paper Mill, so I'm also excited to see it again and see how it changes.

Speaking broadly, Hello, Dolly! will be an super hot ticket.

Within the theatre geek world, I believe War Paint will have at least a solid few weeks of being sold-out and difficult to obtain.

In the family/kids world, Anastasia and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory look to be hot as well.

I also think Amélie will have a pretty sizable audience with Phillipa Soo's name attached.

I'll say Dear Evan Hansen and Hello Dolly and if its true that its coming i'd say Sunset Blvd.

Personally, it's Great Comet, The Front Page (that cast!) and Significant Other for me. In terms of mainstream attention, I can't think of anything that will get more press than Bette Midler and Dolly.

Well, I had the blessing to see Anastasia (and planning on seeing the final version on Broadway next year), so for me Hello, Dolly!, Dear Evan Hansen and Miss Saigon. Charlie peaked my interest when I read yesterday that it'll be more like the film version by adding the film numbers (thank God!)

It is at least incorporating some of the songs from the 1971 film adaptation, so we'll see how they blend in with Shaiman & Wittman's score.

Don't really care about anything else, except maybe Heisenberg because I love MLP, but I won't be seeing it so it doesn't matter.

I'm excited to see Front Page because of the casting, and I'm hoping to see Les Liaisons Dangereuses if I can find someone to go with!

Definitely most excited for Hello Dolly and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory of the ones I've seen. I really hope I can afford to go up and see them sometime in the year. Some of the others sound great too, but Dolly and Charlie are at the top of my must-see list.

I do wonder just how much they'll add from the 1971 movie to Charlie though. I get the feeling the main additions will just be adding in the "Candy Man" and "I've Got a Golden Ticket" songs. I kind of hope they don't give Veruca her song from the movie as I feel giving just one of the kids their own song in the 2nd act would just kind of...offset everything somehow. They could also move Pure Imagination to its 1971 placement, but from what I've heard of the London production it works well in its placement there, so if they move it they'd need to make a new song for that part.

War Point I hope. I thought it was great. It seems to have a mixed reaction on this board though

Anastasia is my most anticipated. Also looking forward to Singing' in the Rain, Sunset Blvd, and Miss Saigon.
