Hamilton returns 2020-2021, so guessing December. ETA: on closer inspection, it says Hamilton returning for 2020-21 season, so not necessarily December. At first glance I thought it just said returning 2020-21, so I made the jump to December. Sorry.

Is Cats going Non Equity for next season?

Mike Barrett said: "Is Cats going Non Equity for next season?"

No, Cats is staying equity next season, on a lower tier SETA, playing mostly still full and multi-week engagements, with about 8 weeks of 2-market split weeks.

Any major season announcements left, or no?

g.d.e.l.g.i. said: "Any major seasonannouncements left,or no?"

It probably depends on how you define major. If you're referring to a new touring show joining the season lineup, it's possible (i.e. Mockingbird), but not likely. If you're referring to the remaining venues, it's a bit trickier this season as several mid-major markets are including new, never-toured-before productions (e.g. SpongeBob & Bandstand). Their inclusion among the major markets blurs the lines a bit on how to define whether a market is major/mid-major/minor. If you're referring to the major markets that have announcements left, there's Madison, Nashville, National Theatre, the Starlight in KC, East Lansing, and Sacramento. In addition, there are the last four BAA venues outside of Madison (Albuquerque, Boise, Jacksonville, Fresno), Lexington, New Haven, Syracuse, Akron, Hershey, Chattanooga/Knoxville and Spokane. Also, Greensboro is announcing their 20/21 inaugural season, which is a major announcement. While we're not 1/3 of the way through announcement season, we're moving into phase 2, which will dovetail with phases 1 and 3. These are made up of mid-major markets like some of the ones listed above. Hope that helps!

I'm more trying to gauge what the odds are that there are another 3-4 cities on JCS' schedule. That's very detailed, though; thank you!

Just got word from the booking company in charge of Phantom that, yes, this is the final season for the touring production. Its final stop is in Toronto in early 2020. Also, Derrick Davis is returning to the title role for the run, in case anyone's interested.

Jacksonville still hasn't announced. We are getting Hamilton for the first time and I really think what will be left of our season, are shows that they could get at a lower price. As I predicted, School of Rock is next week and hasn't sold well at all. They announced a $30 lottery a couple of days ago and I will know tomorrow if I won. If I do win, that will be 3 of the 4 shows that I got a really good orchestra seat, that I was able to choose myself ($30 each). For me, why buy a subscription, when I can pay $30 a ticket. I think our Artist Series is going to wise up and just bring in inexpensive nonequity tours.
