As I said above, on the playbill site it is listed as equity.

Latest Philly clue - Cinderella. Third non equity tour to join the ranks and another add on to the season.

Latest Philly season clue is Miss Saigon, which I'm super excited about. I guess tomorrow will be the last clue since the full season have in reality been announced and Friday is the official announcement.

A tour can only go so many places in a year. SoCal is probably lined up for next season.

Sure sure, I guess I'm just not use to a major market like Southern California getting second pass

There’s also a LOT of musicals on the road right now — a venue can’t fit them all into one season.

Can anyone in the Houston area explain to me this upcoming season? In previous years, shows came for 2 weeks or more. Now, most of the shows are only 1 week engagements. In my experience, Houston has always done well selling tickets and providing great shows. Does anybody have an insight as to why we are now switching to one week engagements?

^^ I can live with it as long as there is more interesting shows I may want to see. In terms of Costa Mesa, I will most likely see Aladdin, Waitress (if I see the movie a second time to convince me) and Dear Evan Hansen. Hello Dolly is below radar for me right now.

It only pops up individually by show, but it seems Bass Hall in Fort Worth has (quietly?) announced their season. Since there's no announcement with all of the shows on it, I might be missing some:
The Book of Mormon (January 22-27)
Anastasia (May 28 - June 2)
Les Miserables (June 25-30)
A Bronx Tale (July 23-28)
Fiddler on the Roof (August 20-25)

Unless there's another clue on the day of the Philly season reveal, the final clue was Beautiful which I'm very happy to see come back. Thus, below looks to be the Philly season [as the clues have rolled in]:
1. Love Never Dies.
2. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
3. Cats.
4. Fiddler On The Roof.
5. Anastasia.
6. Hamilton.
7. Rent.
8. The Grinch That Stole Christmas.
9. Book of Mormon.
10. Cinderella.
11. Miss Saigon.
12. Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.
The only one[s] I'm not thrilled about are Charlie [which was just awful] and Love Never Dies [No desire], but the rest is very strong - a mix of some good new tours and returning engagements.

And Come From Away.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Can the Burlington market/theater financially/physically support any of these shows? The answer to those questions is "unfortunately no."

I'm eagerly awaiting Pittsburgh's announcement, too.
Based on the logo and tagline on their season announcement page, we can figure out "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is one of the shows they'll be getting.
https://trustarts.org/production/57233/2018-19-pnc-broadway-in-pittsburgh-season-announcement
We already know "Hamilton" is confirmed since it was announced last year to entice subscriptions, and I've heard a return engagement of "The Phantom of the Opera" is lined up.
It might be wishful thinking, but based on whatsnext81's spreadsheet, I'm wondering if "Dear Evan Hansen" might slip in May 21-26 in-between Buffalo and Minneapolis, or "Hello, Dolly" April 30-May 5 in-between Minneapolis and Columbus, OH.
Also, a different series but still relevant, we can deduce that the "Cats" tour will be a part of Pittsburgh CLO's 2019 series that June or July. They have it listed on their "CLO on Broadway" page as one of the productions they've helped produce on Broadway. They've presented each of these shows as the one touring production they bring in each summer in addition to their locally produced shows.

Interesting article in today’s Pittsburgh paper:
'Hamilton' is coming to Pittsburgh. And with it comes the cyber scalpers
http://www.post-gazette.com/ae/theater-dance/2018/03/25/Hamilton-Pittsburgh-Cultural-Trust-cyber-scalpers-BOTS-Bill-of-2016-CAPTCHA/stories/201803220196
As a Cultural Trust member it will at least guarantee me a ticket to the show, since I’ll have access before sales to the general public open:
“When single-season tickets to “Hamilton” go on sale, season subscribers and Trust members get first dibs. For “Hamilton” tickets in Pittsburgh, subscribers and Trust members will be first in line, and then watch the official Trust site -— trustarts.org -— for individual tickets.”

I've played Burlington a few times, at the Flynn. Lovely house, but VERY small. Most tours wouldn't fit there. However, Burlington's surrounded by other major hubs... Montreal, Ottawa, Syracuse, Schenectady all get major tours and are all reachable.

I always take everything Ms. Eberson reports with a grain of salt, ever since she spoiled the plot of "Next To Normal" in her review and was not apologetic about it. I think she means "single ticket sales" since there's no such thing as a "single-season" ticket.
If you're a subscriber, you should already be getting a "Hamilton" ticket, since it's part of the subscription series. It's strange that they say they're offering first access to additional tickets to subscribers and donors. A majority (if not all?) other cities are specifically saying subscribers and donors will NOT have access to any extra tickets, since the "Hamilton" producers require a certain amount of tickets to be available for sale to the general public.
It's running in Cleveland for 6 weeks this summer, and I know their subscribers/donors have no special access to purchase extra "Hamilton" tickets. Just the subscribers who have the show as part of their subscription packages are "guaranteed" tickets since they're part of the regular series of shows.
