Might've been announced without their permission, but here's a link to an article http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/culture/la-et-cm-view-bridge-ivo-van-hove-ahmanson-20160322-story.html

Jeanine Tesori and Ted Chapin have also been on stage to discuss the season. They've really put together an impressive announcement.

Cleveland's announcement also included a visit by the Kirkpatrick Bros who penned Something Rotten...Cleveland also noted they have 32,000 season ticket subscribers, the most of any Broadway Series in the country...That means roughly 12 perfs already sold out per show before single seats sold. Hard to get tix... compelling them to move to 3 week / 24 perf runs this coming year. http://broadway.playhousesquare.org/

wow pre-broadway production of Roman Holiday...Im excited and also to see into the woods tour

have not heard anything about this from ANYWHERE

very surprised  that

something rotten 

american in paris

not part of the season

guessing those will both be add ons.....

[ErinDillyFan]

Posted: 3/23/16 at 2:17pm

Something Rotten doesn't start until Jan 2017 and is booked through July.  So, SF and Detroit will have to wait until 17-18 season.  Dallas is as far west as they booked so far.  I have the option to see it in Cinci or Cleveland...

Detroit is always last to announce, but Fun Home seems to be on the bill according to the tour website.

Finding Neverland will not be in Detroit.  Hopefully The Curious Incident will...Maybe Honeymoon in Vegas...

“Cabaret” (Sept. 13-18, 2016)

“The Sound of Music” (Oct. 18-23, 2016)

“Beautiful — The Carole King Musical” (Nov. 22-27, 2016)

I think Colleen Jennings-Roggensack (Executive Director for ASU Gammage) hit it out of the park with this season! We are very lucky to have her.  It was also announced that Hamilton and Fun Home will be part of the 17/18 season!

Detroit finally announced:

A Gentlemen's Guide to Love & Murder
Fun Home
Beautiful: The Carole King Musical
Hedwig and the Angry Inch

And "more exciting shows" to be announced, but which aren't part of the subscription.

edit:

From this article, looks like the non-subscription shows will be: Motown the Musical (April 2017); The Book of Mormon (November 2016); Phantom of the Opera (January 2017); and The Lion King (February 2017).

Dirty Dancing is also a season special. I forget the dates, though, as I am uninterested in going.

Trailer for the new Rent 20th Anniversary tour. Gave me goosebumps. Love it. https://vimeo.com/143895166

La Mirada Theatre has announced their 2016-2017 to subscribers:

 

It begins with "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"  Yay!

 

Next is "Lend Me A Tenor"

 

"The Last 5 Years"

 

"West Side Story"  Yikes! Musical Theatre just did this and it will be hard to top their production which used the original Jerome Robbins choreography.

 

It finishes with "Man of La Mancha" which is the musical that I first saw live with Richard Kiley and made me a musical theatre aficionado.

really surprised Fun Home didnt kick off in SF/LA where it would have received warm LGBT welcomes

Anybody on the boards involved with the tour and the thinking of launching in cleveland pittsburgh detroit and other midwest/east locations?

La Mirada isn't a touring house... those are all regional productions.

[Brave Sir Robin2]

Posted: 4/8/16 at 12:17am

The rumor going around is that "Hunchback" at La Mirada is a co-production with Tuacahn and Music Circus. It's cool to see them do all regional productions - usually there's one tour ("Jekyll and Hyde," upcoming "Little Mermaid". Sad the rumor about "Heathers" didn't come true though!
