I’m in a somewhat similar predicament where I can (in exchange for The Lion King) drop either Margaritaville or The Donna Summer Musical, where I was leaning toward dropping the latter. Any advice?

I haven’t seen Margaritaville or Summer, but I’d still drop Margaritaville.  I’m not a big fan of Jimmy Buffett’s music. Definitely not a Parrothead. But I love Donna Summer’s music. But maybe you feel the opposite plus are a fan of flying/dancing cheeseburgers?

Not a fan of jukebox musicals either way, and I can take or leave Jimmy and Donna. Never was a big fan of either. Wish I could drop both, but I may just give one of the tickets away to a friend. Already gave away my Mean Girls tour ticket. I have until the beginning of August to decide.

Minus A Bronx Tale that’s a really solid season!

Oklahoma City has also announced that Oklahoma! will join Frozen as part of our 2020/2021 season. No dates announced yet and I’m not certain if either will be part of the season subscribers’ packages or if they will be add-one.

It really boils down to which artist's music do you like more.  I'm not a fan of Jimmy Buffet, so I would drop that one.  Summer is a lot of fun, if you enjoy her music.  There are numerous inaccuracies in the book, but I still enjoyed it.  By the way,  dmw1959,  I see Come From Away for the first time, next Wednesday in Orlando.  I know you loved it.  I'm looking forward to it.  I'm glad it's short, because I'm driving back (2 hours) after the show.

I almost skipped the show entirely because of its short length and the long drive. I have a similar drive to your Orlando (my Pittsburgh) from where I live, and can now say it was worth every mile. 

In less than two weeks I’m seeing the Pittsburgh CLO production of GREASE with Jackie Burns, Clay Aiken, and Zach Adkins. It should be interesting!

A friend of mine in Cleveland just recently saw the tour and LOVED it. What would you say are the downsides that make it less than the other shows on that list, other than maybe because it is listed as a non-Equity tour?

Just noticed a production of "Dreamgirls" playing the Shubert in New Haven...is this a tour?

Due to Covid-19, Miss Saigon has played its final bow and will not play any more scheduled stops.

I had LES MIS tour tickets in Philadelphia, which I've told will be postponed instead of cancelled altogether. Currently, Philly's season has been postponed until April, when DEAR EVAN HANSEN is set to start, but that will be postponed as well if not cancelled altogether (I mean, it hasn't been officially announced yet, but we know there's no way that theatres will reopen next month).

Orlando performances of My Fair Lady and Beautiful have been cancelled. Which means that 4 shows total have been cancelled in Orlando and the 2019-2020 Broadway season is over.

Finding Neverland and Wicked are cancelled in Vancouver. So the 19/20 season is also now finished here. And I’m sure the start of our 20/21 will be postponed or cancelled.

I completely forgot we have shows to go in Denver's season. My Fair Lady on July 21 and The Band's Visit on August 4. I'm not going to think about them for now.

Denver just announced The Band’s Visit us cancelled and My Fair Lady is postponed. The next bug decision will be the multiiweek run of Hamilton scheduled to start August 12 to October 4. They did subscriber tickets but have delayed public ticket sales.
