adamgreer I felt the same way when The Illusionists was announced in our season here in LA (pantages) but I saw last week and it was a really great night at the theatre.

Kennedy Center will officially be announcing its season on Tuesday the 8th.
Posted: 3/6/16 at 11:43pm
The 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle will include the touring productions of Fun Home and The Little Mermaid. It will also include a new production of Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, which is most likely a Broadway tryout. We also get to see Murder for Two, The Pajama Game, The Secret Garden, and Man of LaMancha.

I just looked back to the OP's first post, and I see that some of the 'ETA' listed shows are Gigi, Into the Woods, On The Town, and Honeymoon in Vegas (with Tony Danza). I haven't seen anything about any of these shows touring.

I have confirmation that the Tony Danza Honeymoon in Vegas tour is canceled. It might pop up as a non-equity somewhere down the line, but not likely.
Networks is producing the Fiasco Theater Into the Woods tour for next season. I know it has been announced for at least a few markets in this thread.
No idea about Gigi or On the Town-Safe bet that they're off at this point-So many new full week tours opening next season.

Is Into the Woods based on the original Broadway production or the latest Off-Broadway revival?

Well that's a disappointing season. I also noticed there's no reference to the Barbara Cook Spotlight Series in their announcement. Has it ended? I always loved those concerts.

I'm not sure how it's that disappointing. What else would you have hoped for this season?
And I could definitely be wrong, but I don't think they announce Barbara Cook Spotlight shows during their March season announcements? I think those come throughout the season.

It just seems like a season that belongs at the National (Chicago, Wicked, Sound of Music, & Cabaret) and there's not a single production originating at the Kennedy Center whether as a true Kennedy Center production (a la Follies, Mame, The Sondheim Celebration) or an out of town tryout (Gigi, Bright Star).

Oh. Count me out then.

For the Kennedy Center, there is a huge gap in the season from Jan after Wicked to April before Chicago. A pre-broadway try out or original Kennedy Center show could go there and just not be ready for announcement yet perhaps?

Does anyone know when the Ahmanson will be announcing?

@diego_jimenez They announced last year on March 14th, so maybe in a couple of days. I predict that it will most definitely be getting Fun Home and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.

Someone mentioned a large space in the Kennedy Center's season, this could be why. If this is true, then I understand why they would wait on announcing it.
Posted: 3/8/16 at 11:22pm
The Orpheum in Memphis is making an official announcement Saturday, but they've been giving (fairly obvious) daily teasers for a show a day on social media.
Looks like so far we'll have Dirty Dancing, Jersey Boys, Annie, and The Bodyguard.
Here's hoping they're saving the best shows to tease toward the end of the week. The only one I'm even remotely interested in at this point is The Bodyguard (though I would like to see Jersey Boys again).
