Just FYI: Tampa is NOT presenting "The Ferryman." They were on the short-list for consideration when the tour was announced, but, as of right now, they're not scheduled to house the show. 

They are, however, presenting 11 shows that'll be announced tomorrow (2/7)--two of which, "Hamilton" (June 1-27, '21) and "Wicked," have already been announced. Makes me wonder how exclusive Ferryman's going to be if it ends up going out...

Wow Minneapolis!  10 shows including Hamilton, Prom, Hadestown and Tootsie!?!?  You must be happy campers!  Some expensive season tickets though!

Now that Tampa posted, we can know what Orlando’s line-up will look like. Hope we get a return engagement of Escape From Margaritaville!

Do Tampa and Orlando have the same shows every season?

[zachvandyke]

Posted: 2/7/20 at 9:58am

Usually 5 or 6 of the same shows.

I doubt it.  You liked it?  I thought it was really cheesy and not in a tasty cheeseburger way.  I am driving to see Mean Girls at the end of the month.

I was kidding :) left at halftime.

Of all the shows touring Escape to Margaritaville is one that I have no interest in seeing. If it's part of my season, I may just skip that one. 

And Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - that one doesn't interest me either.

I was kidding about Margaritaville. It was awful. And not in a fun way.

[ArtMan]

Posted: 2/7/20 at 2:52pm

I didn't  think Margaritaville was bad enough to leave early.  I'm not a big fan of Buffet and the book was kind of dumb.  It was the audience that ruined my experience.  I had two of the rudest people in front of me.  Drunk and all about me attitude.

Got word this morning that Detroit is announcing this Monday morning as well as Kansas City.

[Det95]

Posted: 2/7/20 at 3:18pm

Broadway in Detroit email to subscribers:

Ain't to Proud: July-Aug 2020 Detroit Opera House
Frozen: Aug-Sep 2020 Detroit Opera House
The Bands Visit: Oct-Nov 2020 Fisher Theatre
The Cher Show: Dec 2020 Fisher Theatre
Hairspray: Feb 2021 Fisher Theatre
Mean Girls: Feb-Mar 2021 Fisher Theatre
Hamilton as an add-on Mar-Apr 2021

Honestly, I'm a little disappointed. Once again we're not getting the big shows first run: Hadestown, TKAM, The Prom, Tootsie ect... (at least in the subscription). Who knows what the extras will be since they announce those around/during the Tony's. Having the season start in July is really weird for Detroit.

I feel the same about Detroit's announcement. I'm actually excited to see Hairspray but am shocked that it is part of the subscription instead of an add-on. With so many good shows touring this seems like a waste. Also not sure why they keep the extra add-on shows such a secret, I don't know of any other city that does this.

Anyone know when Nashville announces?

I am also disappointed in the Detroit season. It’s like they fight to get one target show at the expense of getting a touring show in its first season. Obviously that target this season was Ain’t Too Proud with the Cher Show as the second.... we are getting all the others on the second go-around.

I mean- we aren’t getting a single Play, Musical or either revival Tony winner in the first go around- or even TKAM. That’s ridiculous.

They aren’t even announcing any possible shows for the 2021-22 season as a spoiler.

As a side note, I was pissed Broadway in Detroit didn’t fight to get Hello Dolly on the first year of the tour, especially as it was being performed in its originating theatre at the Fisher.

Yeah, hairspray confused me why it wasn’t an add on. I feel now that they’re using the Music Hall again The Bands Visit should’ve gone in there. It’s a much more intimate theatre. I’m hoping the add-one are good.

As posted earlier in the thread. 2/23 at 10 am. But if it's like the last few years it'll leak early. And I'm assuming you've the teaser.

Don't complain. Here in Los Angeles, we get The Bands Visit at the Dolby.   Just look at the barn of a room when you're watching the Oscars.   It's what we get for 18 months while Hamilton is camping in the Pantagesl

Does anyone know when San Francisco will announce?

If the tourstoyou website is accurate, Miami looks like a fun season next year!

Hadestown, Hairspray, Wicked, Dear Evan Hansen, Anastasia, and the Cher Show are all listed as coming to Miami. Still impatiently waiting on info from West Palm and Fort Lauderdale though.

Oh fantastic thanks! I stopped checking the Arsht website when they said they wouldn't be announcing until Feb 14th but they snuck it in on me. Glad it's going to be a solid season.
