At this point, I'd suggest leaning a little more towards Anastasia. We shall see if the creative team of Amelie will be able to workout all the problems by the team it gets to Broadway.

That's true @Jeffrey. After I saw the footage clip recently, I'm a bit more intrigued by it. If anything I would see it for Pippa. However I saw a full bootleg of Anastasia in Hartford and loved it, plus they already sent me a discount code.

I haven't heard anything about "Amelie" other than what I've read on this board. However, I have my doubts that it will work if it closely follows the movie. While I enjoyed the movie, and thought it was sweet, I didn't like the gimmick of the narrator, and I thought the reason that she stopped and then started aging again to be lame. I just don't think there was enough "there" there to support a musical. Hopefully, I'll turn out to be wrong.

Correct. Typo on my part. I knew it was based off of the 1950 Billy Wilder movie, so may have confused myself.

The Price.

My May trip is basically all booked.

Wed- Groundhog Day & 6 degrees of separation

Thursday- Dear Evan Hansen

Friday-Sweeney Todd

Saturday- Come From away & A Dolls house Part 2

Sunday- Great Comet & The Play that goes wrong (only Sunday evening performance, but it does look funny)

As mentioned everything is finalized and tickets have been purchased. No buyers remorse at all, but would have liked to see Bandstand. (that was my final cut) and lately Miss Saigon. I don't know much about Miss Saigon, but so many people are looking forward to it, I would have liked to check it out. But can't possibly squeeze in any more....

Wait until either has a first preview?

I have five slots left in my Playbill Binder. I plan to fill them with War Paint, Anastasia, Miss Saigon, Sunday in the Park with George, and one other TBD. And all these shows are subject to change depending on my budget...etc....

Is there just a plain old list of all the new shows opening this season somewhere? I need something for the roommate to research, so I know what I can just book on short notice and see without him...

While normally I would, my worry is what seats will be avaliable by the time the previews start. I looked at Anastasia and it seems like they've sold a decent number of their orchestra seats. While Amelie hasn't sold out much yet, people might rush to it if they don't already know that Pippa is in it, depending on how strong her fan base is.

I'm booked to see Great Comet in Jan, so excited about that. And seriously considering coming back to see Come From Away, it's supposed to be stunning.

(Also it certainly won't be on broadway but I've been keeping an eye on Popstar the musical, the clip Sydney Harcourt posted sounded great and I love him as an actor)
