non-eq Hairspray Tour
*non-eq Sweeney Todd Tour
Stomp (Tour)

While we're at it, let's talk about what we're seeing this season. Don't forget to * what you're looking forward to most!

Definitely:
non-eq Camelot Tour
non-eq Wizard of Oz Tour
Mamma Mia! (Tour)
non-eq Beauty and the beast tour
non-eq Avenue Q Tour

Maybe:
Lord of the Dance (Tour)
*In The Heights (Tour)

Your turn!

If you meant the shows opened this past season, you have seen none. But if you mean shows in general then that is a different story
