The Britney Spears jukebox musical Once Upon a One More Time will play the Marquis Theatre. Previews begin May 13, and opening night is set for June 22.

The new comedy The Cottage will play the Helen Hayes Theatre. Previews begin July 7, opening night is July 24, and the limited engagement will end on October 29. 

If you also want to make a list of shows that are announced but less set in stone (ie no specific dates/theater), we also have Merrily We Roll Along, The Wiz, Purlie Victorious, Mouestrap, and High Noon

I’m really excited about Back to The Future! I really hope they bring Olly over as well as Marty. If not him, then maybe Andrew Barth Feldman!

It has now been confirmed for the Lyceum. Thanks for this!

For BACK TO THE FUTURE and ONCE UPON..., it seems like a great way to bring in tourists since many of the shows that were nominated will likely be closed/on the way out by Tony Time.

For the plays...it's a bit more of a gamble. It will fill a void for sure, but it's also possible that it could backfire spectacularly (like the Audra/Michael "Frankie & Johnny"

I'm hoping BACK TO THE FUTURE can scoop up Casey Likes. He was talented in ALMOST FAMOUS, but definitely deserved a better vehicle to debut in."

Props to you for predicting his casting, sure enough he will be our Marty McFly!

So glad to see "Merrily" up there.  Love that show and it doesn't come around often. 

Alex Edelman will bring his solo show Just For Us to the Hudson Theatre. Previews begin June 22, it opens June 26, and it ends its limited engagement on August 19. 

The new play The Shark is Broken will play the John Golden Theatre. Previews begin July 25, opening night is August 10, and the limited run will conclude November 19.

What's with all the summer openings?

I have to take a moment to acknowledge the supreme cleverness of this post.

I wonder if part of it is also taking advantage of tourist season.  So many well-reviewed shows opened in the fall and are still struggling.  And yes, historically shows that open closer to the Tonys do better at the awards, but I think the awards aren't as important as they once were to sell tickets.

Also, between Jaws, Back to the Future, and an immersive nightclub, these do seem like shows tourists in particular would be interested in.
