Pippin will be non-equity. The current tour will close after their engagement in Amsterdam and the new non equity tour will launch.
Confirmed for Philadelphia 2016-2017:
• An American in Paris.
• Cabaret.
• The Bodyguard.
• Wicked.
• The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightime.
• The King and I.
• Fun Home.
Speculated:
• Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
• Motown.
• Mamma Mia!
I just hope Fun Home goes into the Merriam or the Walnut. I feel the show will get lost in the Academy.
In theory, it should go to the Merriam or the Forrest, but the Kimmel Center has this way of putting way too small of shows into the gigantic Academy of Music. They put Spring Awakening, Once, and next to normal all at the Academy. During the most recent run of Book of Mormon in Philly, I remember saying to the lotto lady/house manager that they really should put more things into the Forrest because it's a much nicer option for smaller shows that have no business being in the Academy. Guess we will see, but I have a feeling it'll be the Academy. I do believe Hedwig will play the Forrest though.
