Not gonna lie, "The new musical..." makes me happy.  The abundance of revivals, stage adaptations of films, jukebox musicals, etc is good for business, but there's nothing as thrilling as a NEW musical.

I enjoyed Kimberly Akimbo (preview) for the originality of it.  Ditto Six. 

Shucked will be on my "must see" list!  

Thanks for the update!

I'm pretty sure it will play at Hudson.

^You also put Doll's House under "new play" instead of revival. 

For classic plays originally written in other languages (Ibsen, Chekhov, etc.) it's pretty standard practice for playwrights to come in and write a new "version" of the script for the production. These "versions" are somewhere between an adaptation and a translation, but in general it's standard practice to lump it in with translations, and to still consider it a revival. Herzog's version would have to be a pretty major overhaul in order to be considered a new play. 

So by my count that leaves 5 theatres left open in the spring:
- Broadway (rumoured Here Lies Love)
- Barrymore
- Jones
- Longacre (edit: Leopoldstadt extended to March 12)
- Lyceum

Haven't heard anything more from Sing Street or Come Fall in Love. Mousetrap has been announced but might not run until the fall?

High Noon, Pal Joey, and Ain't Supposed to Die a Natural Death were also announced for 2023, though it's certainly been a while since we heard from the latter, so not sure if that's still planned.  Would DDLJ be trying to come in this season?

Leopoldstadt has extended its run to July 2.

EDSOSLO858 said: "Ain’t No Mo’will close early, on December 18."

This may be an extremely silly question, but what does it mean that Will and Jada Smith bought out a performance? Does it mean they have all the tickets and can distribute them to friends, family and such? 

It appears like a donation as each remaining performance still has plenty of available seats. And yet Telecharge still has tickets on sale through February.

Do you think this is our final lineup for the 2022-2023 season? It feels like it would be super late for other shows to announce openings by the Tony cutoff. 

It might be the final lineup as far as musicals are concerned. Here Lies Love is the only one that could potentially come in for Spring that I know of (though recent insider talk leads me to believe that it will either fall apart or be postponed to next season after all). The only other musicals I'm aware of that were actively looking at this season and ready to come in were Lempicka and The Notebook. And I believe both are now firmly planning on next season instead.

But there is still ample time for plays to announce a spring run, as they can come together much faster than a musical. It's still a possibility we get a revival of Yasmina Reza's Art. And there are a couple potential Off-Bway transfers and revivals floating around as possibilities. I think there are still 3-4 plays yet to be announced for the spring.
