So Sweeney will not be going out after all?  I would have thought it would be a easy sell.

Ok, so I am most excited about the Dixie shows in Denver! I went the first time she did the Tupperware show and had a blast. Looking forward to "Never Wear a Tube top...".

I have already seen most of the other shows coming in While living back east. Also really wanting to see "Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors", It opened right after I moved and I really wanted to see it and Forbidden Broadway. 


Just give the world Love.

Good gravy! Those emotions were terrible clues!  I wonder if anyone guessed correctly based on them.

Also I see I missed one set in my guesses:

Book Bugs

If anyone out there is writing new shows, please give us Rock n' Roses - that was my favorite

Still says "postponed indefinitely."  So, fingers crossed for the 2026-2027 season.

Has Chicago announced their season yet? I see on the Broadway in Chicago website there are several new shows Hell's Kitchen/Stereophonics/The Outsiders. I do not remember any specific announcements, if this is their new season, it's underwhelming, being America's second biggest theatre city!

Broadway in Chicago splits their subscription series between the fall/winter and spring/summer and they’re usually announced separately.

Orlando (Dr. Phillips Center) is announcing on 4/4. Email to subscribers gives a slight hint: "It’s giving magic, majesty and electrifying performances for every brand of Broadway fan."

My guess is Magic = Potter, Majesty = and Juliet, Electrifying = BTTF.  That also tracks with what's been announced for other FL Cities.

Thanks, I guess Suffs, Water for Elephants & The Notebook in the next announcement. Broadway in Chicago can do a lengthy sit down to a Broadway show,  but there is no Broadway show of that calibre this season, also Chicago is a popular choice for try outs, I wonder if there is anything on the horizon? Does anyone know when next year’s season will be announced?

Have you already had Six?  That could be the "majesty" clue.

Six came here during the 2022-23 season, which is why I was thinking &Juliet. Of course, it could also be Beauty & the Beast.  After all, it is the "Walt Disney Theatre".

Rochester, NY's 2025-2026 Season:

  • & Juliet - Dec 9-14
  • Spamalot - Jan 18-18
  • Wicked - Feb 18-Mar 1
  • Kimberly Akimbo - Mar 24-29 
  • A Beautiful Noise - Apr 21-26
  • Suffs - June 9-14

I'm disappointed. I had hoped we would get at least one of The Outsiders, Shucked, The Notebook, or Water For Elephants.

How can Wicked make up a subscription package? I thought the idea of being a subscriber is for the theatre operator to take up the best of Broadway’s new shows from last season or the one before? I thought old shows were special add ons.?

Robust season for Tampa, especially with the Add-On's.  I know zip about Dracula, but the rest of the slate is very good IMO.  Good for you!  Enjoy!

I agree, it's a great season! I've really been stalking it on behalf of my parents in Tampa - I live in NYC now. But growing up those Straz tours made me fall in love with the art form, so I'm always excited to see what they're bringing to the city.
