Heard there was a reading of Piece of My Heart last week, which ran Off Broadway two summers ago. It's also listed on Playbill as coming next season.

http://www.playbill.com/article/schedule-of-upcoming-broadway-shows-com-113677

I believe a play called "The Encounter" is playing the Golden in the fall. It's a transfer from London. I know The Front Page is taking the Broadhurst for the fall as well. As for the Beaumont, anyone think Bart Sher will bring his To Kill a Mockingbird there? Or maybe The Master Builder?

surprised nothing's been announcement for the Longacre considering it's been empty since February.

I ask because I happen to love a big show/small show TONY race similar to Wicked vs Avenue Q and Billy Elliot vs Next to Normal. It would be entertaining to see that same contrast play out with Great Comet and Dear Evan Hansen. "

Ehhh I actually think Comet is similar to a "little show that could." I don't know the financials, but it's the composer's first show on Broadway and it's based on a section of War & Peace, which doesn't have the modern fan-base of something based on The Wizard of Oz. It also took several years to get to Broadway. I hope it does well (I've recently become a big fan) and I think it will be an entertaining season.

Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 is a big spectacular with intimacy. The show has apreciated apreciation due to the lavish and imersive set, the innovative and thrilling score, the arching story, lush costumes, lavish lighting and many other components. While the budget is most likely larger than average, it is still a little show in terms of fan base in the moment. The show does not have any tourist a traction other than the amazing material and the 3 previous iterations.

Nice! Just updated the list in post #25.

ACL2006 said: "I'd guess and say THE MASTER BUILDER will take the Lyceum. LCT likely has something planned for the Beaumont. A BRONX TALE to the Longacre? GOTTA DANCE to the Schoenfeld? I don't see FIDDLER lasting into 2017, so MISS SAIGON should be able to take the Broadway. Maybe SINGIN' IN THE RAIN to the Palace if AIP doesn't last past 2017?

Looks like you were right on the money for A Bronx Tale, which starts performances (previews?) Dec. 1 at the Longacre (http://www.nj.com/entertainment/tv/index.ssf/2016/06/a_bronx_tale_broadway_longacre_theater.html).

Has The Humans now become an open run? I see that they have tickets on sale through 12/31. Also, what's the latest on The Bandstand? Last I heard it had plans for the fall, but I'm becoming nervous with the lack of an announcement and the scarcity of theatres.

-Is The Bronx Tale @ The Longacre official?

-I too predict Miss Saigon will take The Broadway. We'll see.

Seems like its going to be more of The Illusionists.

Friend of mine works for producers behind Bandstand.. it's not looking good for them right now I'll just say that.

Amelie is doing another tryout run in LA, and I think the timing (December/January) would strongly indicates that they're still aiming for a spring transfer, as was previously reported

Personally I really hope they do. I had my criticisms of it when I saw the first preview in Berkeley, but the more I've thought about it this past year, the more I realized I really enjoyed it and hope it goes to Broadway.
