Mean Girls: 6/15-6/20/21

And Hamilton is scheduled to return during 21-22 season
"

This is pretty early isn’t it??! Nice season though! I’d say Summer and Pretty Woman aren’t very strong but usually PPAC offers subscribers to chance to drop a show if they’d wish. I’ve never seen Summer, but for the music alone I’d keep that one over Pretty Woman"

Usually they announce in March when the season opens in sept/oct, maybe they pushed it up because ain’t too proud is so early? This was also a letter only sent to current subscribers but they mentioned something about offering next year’s season in time for the holidays so I’d expect an official announcement soon

So long as Vancouver gets some of the new tours and not another round of Lion King, BOM, Phantom, or Wicked I’ll be happy. I’d love Mean Girls, The Prom, Miss Saigon or Bands Visit but I feel like they will go with the more mainstream known shows...

PPACs schedule is also listed in the Providence Sunday Journal today, which is where I saw it.  So much earlier than their usual March announcement!

Yep, just remembered this as well. Got my email regarding the season this morning though. I’ll likely wait to see Broadway in Boston’s lineup to decide where I subscribe but this is a decent lineup! I’m thinking Wicked, Hairspray, and Rent if it’s still touring for the encore series, but just my prediction."

I moved from New England to Orlando a couple of years ago so nowadays I see my tours at Dr Phillips Center. I’d be surprised if the season options down here weren’t Wicked and BoM. Neither have been back since 2016."

Funny, I’m also from NE, and might be moving to Orlando soon! I pay attention to their seasons because my cousin and a friend are down there. Have seen a few shows at Dr Phillips and it’s wonderful! Great place to see a show. I suspect you’ll be right with either wicked or Book or Mormon coming. I am curious what you guys get next season Incase I end up living down there lol 

Got an email saying the Baltimore Hippodrome will be announcing their 2020/2021 Broadway season on January 14, 2020, which will include HAMILTON.

Hamilton is playing in Baltimore from June 8 – July 3, 2021. As previously mentioned, it'll be part of the 20/21 season, which'll be announced on January 14.

Dr.Phillips Center usually has a pretty good line-up. And we’re only an hour from the Straz in Tampa so you can cram a ton of theatre in if you really want to!"

From Orlando, you're also two hours away from Jacksonville. Which usually doesn't have a good line-up."

HAHAHAHAHA ?"

??  I live in Jacksonville. That's why I drive to Orlando.

They have already announced Hamilton, but the rest will be announced late January. $15 ain't enough for me to subscribe blindly.
So far this season has been mediocre. Rent felt like a student production, and most tickets to most student shows are about $25, not over $100.
"

Inception, Is the Rent production you saw, the anniversary production?  If so, I see it in January.  We have only so far had Wicked, which was excellent.  The Elphaba actress had a great voice.  I actually saw it twice.  I normally don't buy the subscription, but I assumed wrongly, that Hamilton tickets would be expensive.  Something about the Rent production made me think it would be average.

inception said: "ArtMan: Yes, the anniversary production. I saw it in September, & afterwards I did some googling & compared to the program, & it seems like sometime in the summer pretty much a whole new cast took over. Most were young, with this being their first professional job. I did think the Mimi was pretty good - though very athletic, sexy, and not convincingly on her deathbed."

Thanks.  It's nonequity I think.  At least these kids will be eager to perform.
