2014-2015 National Tours Seasons — Page 8

What a total letdown! I have a internship in Orlando from August-December and I was really hoping to see new shows. I saw Phantom in 2011. And I don't feel like driving an hour to see Cinderella in Tampa

^^Yeah, I'm trying to see it, but Idk if I can afford it since I'll live on with so little money

Is it just me or do pretty much ALL of the seasons just suck this year?

Buffalo's season is pretty nice, I must say.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat-October 7-12
Rogers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella-Dec. 2-7
Motown The Musical-Jan. 20-25, 2015
Chicago-Feb. 17-22, 2015
The Phantom of the Opera-March 18-29, 2015
Kinky Boots- April 21-26, 2015

Our Special Engagements for the upcoming season are:
Mamma Mia-November 7-9
Million Dollar Quartet-February 6-7, 2015
The Book of Mormon- June 2-14, 2015

I am definitely underwhelmed by their season. Chicago? Phantom? M$Q? Mamma Mia? Yawn.

I'm from Syracuse, so I'm more likely to subscribe/go to the seasons in Rochester or Syracuse but I really love the Shea's theater. It's so beautiful and I enjoy being in Rochester. I missed Cinderella on Broadway (and honestly with all the things I want to see, it isn't high on my list, so I will probably end up missing it for good) but depending on casting and where else it plays around here, I may go see it. Same for Kinky Boots.

As for Rochester, their announcement is coming next week and I'm pretty positive they will have Pippin. Their poster announcing their announcement is circus themed and at the top says "we have magic to do!"

Yeah like Baltimore is like:

Once-Great choice, but I'm missing it. Luckily, it's coming back next year
I Love Lucy-WHY? There could be Cinderella or Kinky Boots in that slot, but we have a random show?
Newsies-Seen it, would have missed it anyway
Annie-If it's not the revival, no thank you
Chicago-Hmmm...maybe
Wicked-Seen it, and it was just here O_o
Dirty Dancing-Is every major 80s movie (YES, AND DISNEY MOVIES) a musical now?
Pippin-The ONLY good one. I'm looking forward to seeing it!

Here's hoping 2015-2016 is significantly better

I'm a little disappointed we didn't get Pippin and that they couldn't get anything else other than Mamma Mia again but other than that no complaints from me!

Cleveland just announced its season:

Motown October 3-19 2014
Newsies November 4-16 2014
White Christmas 2-14 2014
Pippin February 3-15 2015
Dirty Dancing March 3-22 2015
Kinky Boots April 7-19 2015
Cinderella July 21-Aug 2 2015

Cleveland also announced they have 29,000+ Broadway Series subscribers - the most in the country (so about 11 performances worth of seats, out of the average 16 performances in the normal two week stand, are pre-sold before any seats are sold to the general public...)

I'd also expect to see announcements soon about a 3-4 week summer Phantom run - and the return of Book of Mormon... And perhaps a non-subscription Annie.

I fully expect the new Phantom tour to hit CLE - as it'a already scheduled for secondary tour cities and would seem a big, standalone draw. Right now, however, Summer 2014 and 2015 are already booked with cities - one isn't CLE. That's surprising. CLE's PlayhouseSquare usually books a big Summer show - usually 3-4 weeks - sometimes two of them (last year Lion King and Book of Mormon..) and there's nothing announced for this Summer.. and next Summer just two weeks of Cinderella... Phantom tour currently has gaps the first half of December 2014 and March 2015 and almost all of January 2015 (when no other show would be playing in CLE).

Book of Mormon has already been announced in Denver for the 3rd time - 2015 - so a second stop in CLE is expected. Currently the tour has some open/unannounced weeks in late June/early July 2014 - and also around Xmas 2014/January 2015. The Summer 2014 timing would seem short - as not yet announced - but will sell quickly. I wouldn't be surprised to see it one of those time periods as non-subscription show.

The first national of Wicked is closing in LA after February 2015.

Does anyone have any idea when the National Theater will announce its season? All that's know is that NEWSIES is coming (Source: The Newsies website)

Better yet: Is there a way to see the touring schedule for CINDERELLA?
