2021-2022 Broadway Season — Page 6

Book of Mormon is absolutely coming back. They already have rehearsals scheduled.

KPOP is still planning on Bway, but they are prepping for an out of town run first. So they might not get here until next season.

I'm worried that The Lehman Trilogy just wont make it. If they manage to get things together for a Broadway run, it wouldnt be surprising if its delayed a year or two.

Girl From the North Country too, unless I missed that it isn’t coming back. (EDIT: plus some official word from West Side Story)"

Also awaiting announcements from Hadestown and To Kill a Mockingbird. And I'm not sure what the status of American Buffalo is - the producers announced last year that they would open it in spring 2021, but we haven't heard anything since the general timeline has shifted.

Re: American Buffalo - there are 3 big names at play, and I'm sure the producers are doing everything they can to maintain all 3 of them, which I imagine would require some tricky scheduling windows.

As with all of these things, patience is key. As I said in another thread: the flood of announcements from the past week or so can create the illusion that some shows are in trouble if they haven't announced. But every day we're seeing more announcements, proving those shows weren't in trouble, they just needed a bit of time to get things in order. Even now, these shows are still 4+ months away. There's no hurry to hear from the producers right this moment.

I was never expecting to hear from producers right this moment, nor did I mean to imply that the lack of an announcement suggests the show is "in trouble." I know there are plenty of moving parts here. But it's a show that was gearing up for performances last spring, and that has often been disregarded and/or overlooked in most reopening conversations on the board. Just thought it should be acknowledged, to help jog the collective memory. Apologies if that came across as "impatient" to you.

No apology necessary! I actually didn't mean that as a criticism of you specifically. It's a mentality that I've seen all around this board in the past week or so. I think we're all sort of caught up in this whirlwind, and like I said, it's an understandable mindset given the way the news has been tumbling out, with every return announcement being labeled as "Breaking news." I'm sorry too, if I lumped you into that trend unfairly. I do think it's worth considering shows like American Buffalo, but again, I think we'll drive ourselves crazy if we try to keep close tabs on every unannounced show, especially when you throw Off-Broadway into the mix (I know American Buffalo is Broadway, I'm just speaking generally again - because if you consider Off-Broadway too, you realize that MOST cancelled/delayed shows have not yet announced a firm rescheduling)

As of today... four original scores... Diana, Flying Over Sunset, Six, and Mrs. Doubtfire...

Actresses... Katrina Lenk, Carmen Cusack, Sharon D. Clarke, Jeanna De Waal, Sutton Foster... the cast of Six? (haha)"

The cast of Six got a joint nomination for the featured actress category in London. Not sure how Broadway will handle it... Will be interesting to see! I agree though, going to be a great season of new shows I can feel it!

The seven von Trapp children were nominated together for featured actress in 1960. I agree this would be unlikely this year. If I were to choose just one Six actress, I would select Brittany Mack.

Abby Mueller for me.

That's a surprise to see them starting with all the big hitters.
