Is Beetlejuice staying an equity tour for the next season or perhaps going non-eq after their Toronto stay?

If IBDB is to be trusted it looks like the last time Wicked was presented in Rochester was over 10 years ago. So, perhaps it’s been given a subscription slot for that reason.

That sounds about right. Wicked has always sold well in Rochester, and usually runs for multiple weeks. With the success of the movie, I'm sure it will do well again.

I would take the Tampa season that looks amazing over the Rochester season that seems to be a bit tepid.  Suffs is the only show I would be interested in, Kimberley Akimbo and &Juliet seems old now, I wouldn’t want to be paying for Clue as part of a subscriptions. Even though Wicked has been gone 10 years I wouldn’t want that as part of a package, especially as I can pop down to Manhattan and see the original.

So when does the Center Theater Group announce their season? So I was thinking that CTG is more artsy than Broadway in Hollywood where you tend to get the bigger  shows. But the CTG with their artistic announcement seem to pull a rabbit out of the hat. So when I was living in Los Angeles I remember there was a massive Asian demographic, so thinking that the CTG could this time pull a ‘Totoro’ out of the hat, this would go down a storm at the Ahmanson and would no question sell out, it would also be perfect for a pre Broadway engagement, where it will go.

I just paid for Clue as part of my Baltimore package for the current season (24-25), and found it to be hilarious and entertaining.  I hadn't seen the show nor the movie, so I was going in blind and was pleasantly surprised.  I liked it more than Book or Mormon, for sure, which I went it to expecting to be funny and it just fell flat for me.  We also had &Juliet, which I really enjoyed.  I had no problem paying for either.

The 2025–2026 Broadway @ the Ordway season for the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts in St. Paul, Minnesota has been announced:

• The Addams Family ​SEPT 30–OCT 5, 2025
• ​​​​​​The Notebook ​NOV 18–30, 2025
• Sister Act ​DEC 9, 2025–JAN 4, 2026
• ​​​​​Kimberly Akimbo FEB 24–MAR 1, 2026

Hmmm....​​​​​ not as impressive as the Hennepin Arts season, and them getting Kimberly Akimbo would be a lot more exciting if the tour wasn't already going to be in Minneapolis this coming July. I'll still definitely try to see The Notebook, though.

Great lineup!!!!  You guys are lucky.  

 

I just saw the Clue on tour a few months ago and loved it.  But I had never seen the movie nor the show, so I was going in blind.  I found it to be very fun and very funny.  It gets mixed reviews, but I will say I was pleasantly surprised by it.  I expected it to be a throw-away filler show for subscribers, but I will say I put it up higher on my comedy list than Book of Mormon.

According to a casting notice, the WATER FOR ELEPHANTS tour will be non-Equity. Was this already known?

There hasn’t been any pre-Broadway shows (try outs) announced anywhere (nice little surprises, if you will.) I did hint earlier with Los Angeles Centre Theatre Group the announcement  that I anticipate the most that they ‘might pull a Totoro out of the hat,’ by which I mean the RSC’s production of My Neighbour Totoro which is excellent, which I saw when I was over in London, this would go down a storm given Los Angeles high Asian demographic. Centre Theatre Group always have a surprise - Hell I may even travel down the West Coast and see it myself, it was that good.

Maybe I'm misreading you, but "pre-Broadway try-outs" are not likely to be announced by touring presenters, or with in their seasons. Especially if it's not a tour. Some venues can differ occasionally in that --  Chicago and LA spring to mind -- but those try-outs are going to be announced at regional theatres.

I definitely remember Water For Elephants having audition notices where it was listed as equity, and AEA still has it listed under the “Equity Tours” list on its website. Must’ve been a fairly recent change.

Ottawa has been announced:

Mrs. Doubtfire

Clue

Moulin Rouge

Mamma Mia

is this the first indicator of Moulin Rouge continuing? Going Non-equity?

They've announced a handful of dates through the the 2025-2026 season.

The show page for Broadway in Ottawa includes photos/videos of the current North American tour cast; if it were to be going non-equity they wouldn't be allowed to use those and they'd be featuring media from one the international productions.

Hopefully that means Western Canada is getting &J & MR as well.  I'd probably see both again.   But hard pass on the rest.

Well that’s good news. I’d be okay with Vancouver getting the show then.

Hoping for a good season at The McCallum in 25/26. Not sure when they announce. Palm Desert is usually one of the last spots on the 3rd round of a tours. Part of the reason I fly in to NYC a few times a year for my Broadway fix.

Broadway in Hollywood sent out an email today about “BIG NEWS” and another show announcement coming next week. They also had a link to a crossword with clues to the show as the answers…

The clue/answers were Dingdong, Showtime, Rollin, Diamonds, Glove, Flower and Queen. 
 

Any guesses?

Diamonds and glove means MJ is coming back. Ugh. I thought it was corny and lame.
