Jesus Christ Superstar Waitress Escape to Margaritaville Play that goes wrong Come from away (!) Extras Blue Man Group Book of Mormon And the real shocker is that Hamilton will come in 2020-21!! So good to see some “first season run” shows come here"
The announcement went out in an email to subscribers this evening but no dates were announced. I imagine it should be up on Popejoy Hall’s website by tomorrow
If anyone is waiting for the Nashville season to be announced, I have the dates of the shows as well as price per tickets for the shows that are being announced. Looking at the pricing, show 1 of the season is priced similarly to Hamilton. I can share that information if anyone is interested in dates or prices per show.

For some of the most popular Pittsburgh shows, by time the Season Ticket holders and pre-sale seats are sold, there’s little to nothing left: perfect example is Dear Evan Hanson coming in late May. I have had my season ticket since last September, and as of this past Friday April 5th ALL performances are now completely sold out (courtesy of a badly thought through pre-sale) with only the opportunity to win lottery seats. Several other shows have had a great number of the better seats sold, and I’m not paying $25-50 for a nose bleed seat and be forced to pick from the worst seats remaining.

Yeah, good point. Depending on the show, I’ll pay $30 (with a discount) for a balcony seat like I did for A Bronx Tale. That was all I was willing to pay for it and for $30 I had a good time. But for Waitress, I was willing to pay $109 for front row orchestra. By not having season tickets, I don’t have to see shows I’m not interested in (Love Never Dies, RAIN, Cats) or worry that I have a ticket for a night my work travel has me out-of-town. Our next two shows, in fact, are RAIN and Cats. After that we get Hamilton July 30 - August 18. I’m really hoping I can get tickets to see it at least once while it’s here. According to the OKC Broadway rep I spoke to, the Hamilton tickets will be easier for the general public to get here than in other markets. None of this waiting around in a virtual waiting room for 8 or 12 hours before you can buy tickets. They’ll also be available at the box office that day. Hopefully, I’m home that day. Wish me luck!!!

Just curious if Come From Away is playing Nashville. PM me if it is and if you have the dates.
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.

But see in my city, I'm not paying $30 for a nosebleed seat. You are allowed to pick your seat. When I won for Waitress last month, I had multiple seats to pick from the first orchestra, second orchestra, and the loge, including front row. I had mentioned the lottery for School of Rock that I entered a few days ago. They haven't given the results yet, but I was offered and accepted a free ticket today for opening night, to fill the venue. If I win the lottery and my choices are great, then I may see it again, with a lottery win.
