If you mean a pop jukebox show, which is what OUAOMT is, yes, thus far there are no pop jukebox shows announced for the new season.

If by "pop" you mean like Britney then no. "The Notebook" is a contemporary score but more akin to a folk musical with some Broadway flourishes. Not sure about "The Outsiders." It sounds kind of just bland generic contemporary stuff. I guess it's a small scale musical. Both feature rain. I'd say "How to Dance in Ohio" sounds poppy but again it all sounds like "Dear Evan Hansen" after awhile.

There's already & Juliet, Moulin Rouge and MJ filling that pop spot. We don't need Broadway to be full of them. I'll take diversity any day.

Edited to add MJ

I do think part of the downfall of Once Upon a One More Time is that it's coming after Moulin, SIX, &Juliet, and Bad CInderella and running concurrently with the first three. All of those have elements of Once Upon a One More Time and all except Bad Cindy are better shows. 

If I want the pop music spectacle, I'm gonna go to Moulin Rouge. If I want girlboss empowerment, I'm gonna go to SIX. If I want fictional character rewriting their destiny, I'm gonna go to &Juliet. I don't need this show.

I do wonder how we get the young people to come to support broadway without the music and stories of their generation.

Do broadway shows advertise on TicToc? That would be smart.

I'm a long-time LCT member and I haven't heard anything about the upcoming season. They seem to be slow in announcing shows these last two years. It's annoying when they decide to include a commercial production as part of their season and announce it after tickets have gone on sale, and members may have already purchased tickets to that show."

I thought they announced The Lehman Trilogy? Did that fall through?

Water for Elephants is going to broadway in 2024 per an audition notice. 

Interesting for Ryan Vasquez that all 3 of his pre-Broadway shows made it into the same season. Which one will he pick? Hm.

Who knows? I have a feeling it could be The Notebook, though. He was also in The Karate Kid, too, correct? Not that it has announced plans to transfer or anything, but... who knows at this point. lol.

Merrily We Roll Along will officially open on October 10.

[OhHiii]

I imagine we're going to get a slew of announcements next week post-Labor Day. Nothing will come this week. 

Anticipating probable announcements from Days of Wine and Roses, Tommy, Lempicka and potentially Crazy For You and Guys and Dolls transfers. Anything else? Enemy of the People will probably announce theatre and dates and when tickets go on sale. 

A couple shows with potential to move fast would be Danny and the Deep Blue Sea and Hell's Kitchen. Any others that have been announced off-broadway that could come in?

This season feels very slow to take shape even in the face of so many houses we know will be open. What some folks on here have pointed out is probably proving out that all of these deep pocket investors that put money into shows this past season are feeling the burn and aren't as eager to invest in a new crop, at least not this Fall.

I think we know Crazy For You is coming sometime next year, but I wonder where Guys & Dolls will go. Maybe The Shed? I know that's not Broadway, but I really don't know where else they could put that besides re-using the setup for Here Lies Love if that ends up closing.

Do we actually know that either of those are transferring or is it all just hopes spun into rumors spun into facts?

I don’t think you get how producing theater works if you think they’ll just reuse the here lies love setup. That’s not how that works…

Pardon me for not using the right words here. If Guys and Dolls were to transfer, the Shed could be a good venue for it if not, then they could use the Broadway theatre and build something similar to the Here Lies Love set. As for Crazy For You, some people said on the show's discussion thread that a transfer is likely to happen. I believe one person said they have a connection with Charlie Stemp, who said it's happening.

The announcement I received from LCT is for the new show based on the life of Graciela Daniele at the Newhouse this fall. Nothing has been announced for the Beaumont.

What show is going into the music box in the spring then???

I think that was more of a comment on the fact that Purlie will probably make less than $200K each week and close very early and not on something wanting to replace it. 

As far as what could, it could be any number of smaller shows that want to come in. I don't think there are any big rumors yet.
