I live in Syracuse. They usually don’t announce until around May. I would expect an announcement with Dirty Dancing.
Posted: 3/15/18 at 1:28pm
Based on the Costa Mesa colors, I'm guessing the shows are: Waitress, Dear Evan Hansen, Fiddler, Dolly, Come From Away, Anastasia, Cats, Falsettos, and Charlie

First clue for Costa Mesa's new season is Fit Family Shingle Sunrise Tradition which is obviously Fiddler on the Roof.
ETA Clue #2: Flo, Brave, Dreamer, Recipe, Server and it's Waitress.

Philly's latest is a tease of Hamilton which we all knew was going to be in this season, but still it's super exciting.

#5 is Cats with 4 more shows still to be announced. The real question is which of these will be in Curtain Call and not part of the season subscription as there will NOT be 9 new musicals in 2018-2019. I'll predict that Dear Evan Hansen will be in Curtain Call since it's going to the Ahmanson first. Hope I'm wrong but have a feeling I'm not.

Can't wait to see what Boston has coming!
Come From Away will most certainly be part of the schedule, which is great. I'm crossing my fingers that Bat Out of Hell plays here, but I won't hold my breath...not sure how big the production is, but I could see it maybe ending up in the Shubert as part of the Boch Center offerings. Also hoping that with the Colonial reopening, we'll get something in there as well after Moulin Rouge.

Bwayfan292 said: "How does the curtain call work? can you buy tickets for both the 18/19 season and curtain call or?"
Yes, you can buy both, but I don't want to. There's no savings if it's like when I purchased it in the past just to see the return of Wicked. I've seen them do this in the past where a big musical plays at the Ahmanson or the Pantages and then doesn't show up at Segerstrom until the end of the season and it's included in Curtain Call. I hope Cats is in Curtain Call as I have no desire to see the new revival at all.
The current Segerstrom Broadway series includes 6 musicals: Something Rotten!; The King and I and still to come, Love Never Dies, Hamilton, School of Rock and On Your Feet.
Curtain Call has already had Motown and Kinky Boots with The Color Purple still to come in June.
2 additional Bonus Events included Jersey Boys in January and The Book of Mormon beginning on March 20th for a 5 day run.
Thus this year Segerstrom had 11 musicals of which only 6 were part of the Broadway series. Guess we won't know until Monday which of the 9 that they're revealing thru clues will be in the Broadway series.
ETA that the 6th musical clues-Welcome, Rock, Journey, Globe and Screech are definitely Come From Away.

For those interested, the Non-Eq tours for the 2018-2019 season are Rock of Ages, Fiddler on the Roof (rumored), Something Rotten, Finding Neverland, and Rent.
I might be missing some, but those are the bigger ones.

Fiddler?? Really?? That’s highly disappointing. At least the other shows you mentioned are either current equity tours going non-equity, or shows that have had equity tours in the past. I wasn’t thrilled about getting Fiddler to begin with, but the prospect of a non-equity Fiddler is even worse.
Posted: 3/17/18 at 8:57am
Latest Philly clue is RENT and thus our first non equity tour of the season. I feel like generally there's at least two non equity tours per season.

Broadway in Birmingham (AL) announced their line up earlier this week:

https://theaterleague.com/birmingham/1819series/
This will be the fourth season Theater League will present Broadway in Birmingham.
Posted: 3/17/18 at 9:13pm
Final clues for Segerstrom in Costa Mesa are for Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Beautiful and Hello Dolly joining the other musicals: Fiddler on the Roof, Aladdin, Waitress, Cats, Dear Evan Hansen and Come From Away. Hopefully the mentioned non-equity tour by RippedMan for Fiddler on the Roof will mean it will be in Curtain Call and not the Broadway Series.
Posted: 3/17/18 at 11:10pm
Aladdin and Hello Dolly I will see for sure. Dear Evan Hansen depends on money Waitress I'll see but I have to rewatch the movie first

Looks like the Grinch will be our Christmas show here in Philly and our second non equity tour (I assume).
