Only the Jones and that's been rumored for The Fear of 13.

Am I the only one who thinks Oedipus should be considered as a new play?

It won Best Revival at the Oliviers.  It's unlikely it will be a new play.  And likely it wins a Tony for the same.

I have come around to Oedipus being a revival. These classic non-English plays almost always get a new translation when produced on Broadway, and we can’t call each one a new play just because it’s the first time that specific translation is staged. Similar examples include Uncle Vanya (new translation by Heidi Schreck) and A Doll’s House (new translation by Amy Herzog) from a few years ago. Both were considered revivals.

This Oedipus does change a lot of plot details, according to my friend who’s more familiar with the original than I am. I guess there’s a line. When the changes go as far as Fat Ham, it becomes a new play.

Although this is a dismal season for new musicals, Broadway as a whole is doing well for itself. 34 productions this season in total. 7 of last season's shows are still going strong, which removed their theaters from the availability pool for this season. Nothing seems to be in real danger of imminent closure.

That suggests a fun trivia question: when was the last time so many productions from one season were still running at the start of the next calendar year?

I remember it being somewhat remarkable - worthy of a New York Times article - that four musicals from the 2004-05 season (Spamalot, Piazza, Scoundrels, Spelling Bee) were still running well after the Tony Awards. This time around there are five (plus two plays). I wouldn't be surprised if that's actually unprecedented. Maybe others will know the answer to that; if not, maybe I'll try to do a little research!

Well, I did a little bit of research, and it turns out that I didn't have to go back very far at all to answer my own question.

Just like this year, five new musicals survived the 2023-24 season to run into the next year: Back to the Future, The Great Gatsby, Hell's Kitchen, The Outsiders, and Suffs.

Also like this year, seven productions total achieved that same feat, namely those five musicals plus Stereophonic and Cabaret.

Whomp-whomp.

(ETA: Kad's point still stands, since three of those shows from 2023-24 closed early in 2025, whereas this year's holdovers all seem to be holding their own.)
