My guesses for LA: 

Pantages/Dolby - Frozen / Anastasia / Mean Girls / Summer / Escape to Margaritaville / The Spongebob Musical / My Fair Lady / Hamilton

Ahmanson - Once on this Island / The Band's Visit / Jesus Christ Superstar

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.

Still no Torch Song dates, we shall see if it happens! Hoping it does

I also got season tickets, always wanted to and at least most the shows are interesting this Season... and gives us first pick next year with Hamilton.

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.

[Mike Barrett]

Posted: 1/30/19 at 2:52pm

Hm very interesting. Wonder what big name they could get who would tour as well. I'd love to see Andrea Martin or Beth Level in the role although those aren't happening. Would be nice to see Jessica Sheridan get the bump but this show is always known for having a "star". Excited to see!

No disrespect to Ms. Buckley, but I’m not sure she’s a household name in 2018/2019. So uncertain how much her name is helping to sell tickets. I actually hope that Donna Murphy steps back into the role for the second year. She is the only one of the three principal revival Dollys that I didn’t get to see.

[Mike Barrett]

Posted: 1/30/19 at 3:27pm

She's not, but she is a Broadway legend which is who they try and go for I feel. It'll be interesting to see what they do.

Usually one or two tours launch from Providence, we know Escape To Margaritaville is, any word on another one? I was hoping My Fair Lady or OOTI would, as some revival tours tend to start there.

[RWPrincess]

Between Betty Buckley’s tv and Broadway career, I think her name is big enough to sell tickets. I know of a few people who specifically bought Pantages tickets just to see her.

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.

[MTH85]

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’m curious what Chicago’s season will look like and I hope we get the CIBC theatre back.
I wonder if Spongebob, E2M, and JCS will return.

[BwayLB]

Posted: 2/1/19 at 4:58pm

Im hoping for Costa Mesa Anastasia Spongebob and My Fair Lady

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.
