Posted: 1/28/19 at 7:37pm
For those who haven't been keeping track of the clues Minneapolis is giving out, here's what's up so far:
- Anastasia
- Come From Away
- My Fair Lady
- Rent
- Summer
They have two (maybe three) more to go until their announcement on Thursday. They'll stream their announcement on Facebook in the late morning.

I bit the bullet & subscribed to the Vancouver broadway series for next year. Usually I just pick 1 or 2 shows, but at least there wasn't anything lame like Illusionists in the series this year, all the dates work with my proposed 2020 vacation dates, & good seats came out to half what I paid to see shows in mezz seats in NY. I just saw DEH at Xmas in NY, & wasn't blown away, but I'll give it a second chance. The one thing that I kinda wonder is about Finding Neverland - not the show itself, but the producers: does Harvey Weinstein still get a cut of this?

Rent, Waitress, Finding Neverland, Dear Evan Hansen, Wicked, and Hamilton in 2020/21.
Anyone know, which tour versionsare most worth it? I figure Hansen and Waitress?
Is the Rent 20th any good? Non-Eq? Whos doing it?"

I've only been to the Dolby once but the parking structure is pretty big, and it takes you directly to the main entrance. 17 bucks is a bit more than the $10 for parking at the Montalban structure though.

I know Hollywood & Highland parking structure is easy and direct to the theatre. However, $17 will get old quick. Music Center is $9, I normally park at the Monltaban structure for the Pantages. It might be cheaper to walk to one of the movie theatres, buy a ticket, get validated and then head to Dolby.

I have seen Rent four times, the last being the non-equity 20th anniversary production. I love Rent, but was very disappointed by the 20th production. I almost left at intermission. The band was noticeably paired down and the vocal performances were weak. Didn't know it was non-equity until after the show.

Well at The Dolby Theatre, you're still able to get validation for parking. Granted, not at the actual theatre, but most of the shops and restaurants there do validate. It may not save you a bunch of money, but it still helps. Each time I've parked there, the most I've had to pay was about $12. If I get lucky, I pay as low as $8, since I'd be there for a few hours.

I've heard very mixed things about the current non-equity RENT tour.

Full season will be announced in February."
Any other information or rumors about the Austin Broadway Across America line-up? I'm hoping for Come From Away and DEH. Never seen JCS, so that's cool.

As of right now, yes! It should be around in Texas in January 2020. More will info will come next week. Don't know about the lead, though. I doubt Betty Buckley will be back, but you never know.

Is the On Your Feet tour done after this season? I haven’t seen it pop up for next season yet. I had been hoping to see it one more time.

Me too! I’ll be there for each opening night. I went with centre orchestra which still ended up cheaper than buying tickets individually. And I agree, finally nice to see a lineup with all good shows, although how many tines does Wicked have to come through town?

Bass Concert Hall (Broadway in Austin) will be announcing their 2019-2020 season on Tuesday, February 12th. Already announced, is that the Jesus Christ: Superstar tour will open at the venue.
Less than two weeks out, excited! Really hoping for Come From Away.
Posted: 2/1/19 at 4:15pm
For Austin, in addition to Jesus Christ Superstar, I'd expect Come From Away, Dear Evan Hansen, Hello, Dolly!, Aladdin, and a couple more, like Les Mis.

Les Mis is part of the current season. I'm hoping many of the subscribers that joined last yr to get priority tix this year will not renew so we can have better tix choice and easier tix exchange.

I wonder if Spongebob, E2M, and JCS will return.

Les Mis is at Bass Performance Hall in Dallas, not Bass Concert Hall in Austin. I think I’d rather have Frozen than Aladdin but that’s just personal preference, I saw it in NYC and didn’t particularly love it. Either way I definitely think we’re due for a Disney show.
If Hello, Dolly! is set to come to Texas then that’d make sense to go to Austin. I also think Come From Away is a given, as far as I’m aware it has barely travelled in our direction. Also hoping for Mean Girls but I don’t have any reason to think it’d go here versus anywhere else.
