2024-2025 Touring Season — Page 2

Hershey announced in May 2023 that Hamilton would be part of their 2024-2025 season. No dates were included in the announcement though.

Cincinnati's announcement makes me think Company will not get a second year on tour. We almost always get shows by their second year. I think if it was still going to tour we would have gotten it over one of the return engagements (CFA and Les Mis)

Dallas announced their 24/25 subscription season today:



SHUCKED - December 3-15, 2024

Philly announced prior to a full season announcement that Hamilton will return to Philadelphia (October 29th-November 23rd 2024) and MJ The Musical will make its Philly premiere [January 9th-January 15th 2025]. Both will be playing the Academy of Music.

The full season will likely be announced mid March-early April.

I’d say a hiatus on tour is more common than not. I’m sure the production would rather be playing those weeks, but for some reason or another they weren’t booked by anyone. It’s called a “layoff” and as the name might be able to hint at everyone is laid off for those weeks.

I think with tours there are always scheduled breaks for the performers that they tend to refer to as a layoff, as previously mentioned. I think it's probably a break/vacation after they've been on the road with no breaks for a while. Mean Girls had the break from November/December until a week ago I think.

Hopefully, Kimberly Akimbo will play the Forrest Theater and not the Academy of Music.

We’re still waiting for a number of tours from the past few years: Frozen, Beetlejuice, Funny Girl, Company, Moulin Rouge and more."



There is catching up to do on big Broadway shows, I could add several more to the list.

Toronto equally has a track record of looking to take big shows both from Broadway and West End. So wonder if they would be looking at National Theatre’s The Witches, The Motive and the Cue or Dear England.

What would be amazing is if they did a major coup and signed up My Neighour Totoro for a soft launch, which is massive hit in London and will play Broadway at some stage, so would make a great pre-Broadway launch.

Mirvish always has enormous potential to make great season announcement, but somehow when it comes it’s underwhelming.

I agree, Mirvish could always have some amazing seasons but they usually underwhelm. I feel like this season announcement could be big if they wanted it, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

As you said, any of those West End shows would make a lot of sense as a precursor to a Broadway run. I also feel like Operation Mincemeat would do extremely well in Toronto. There's so many England shows that make sense. I suspect we will get something from England, but who knows what that might be.

Could I ask this again? Asking since there's a Few Tours that are wrapping up soon that I'd like to catch, I'd just like to know what to try to catch before next season begins and i can't catch them anymore.

Houston BAA Season:

PETER PAN - 10/1-10/6/24
SHUCKED - 11/19-11/24/24
THE BOOK OF MORMON - 1/7-1/12/25
& JULIET - 1/21-1/26/25
HAMILTON - 3/4-3/23/25
MAMMA MIA! - 4/8-4/13/25
THE WIZ - 4/29-5/4/25
PARADE - 7/15-7/20/25
LIFE OF PI - 8/19-8/24/25

Assuming HAMILTON and MORMON are optional. Official announcement is Thursday.

Kind of surprised that other than Hamilton, none of the other shows stay longer than 1 week. &Juliet, The Wiz and/or Parade could have been 2 weeks. Also, we don't have a "summer engagement" lasting for several weeks like we usually do.
