Apparently lack of theatre and stiff competition heavily factored into the London Next to Normal Production ultimately deciding not to transfer this fall for a limited run…

Galileo has the Shubert. Yankees will probably be in the Lunt.

I'm aware of a revival of CITY OF ANGELS with the budget of LOST BOYS, which will be playing in my brain only.

A strong, heavy season for revivals. Come From Away is all dependent on a theater opening up.

If a show is on the west end, it has to come to Broadway. That’s message board law.

But are the theaters really confirmed for these productions?

That's the rule, that's the goal now...I would also probably add Rent to that list (but probably not until 27/2

No Annie or Rent. The Annie run at MSG didn't sell well and they had Whoopi for most of its run.
Beauty and the Beast isn't happening until, at best, next season.

Yeah I imagine Sonia Friedman's RENT comes after the West End one this Fall

The only one actually confirmed is Full Monty at the Haimes. However, I have also heard Damn Yankees is planning on the Lunt-Fontanne and it's the worst kept secret that the reason Jamie Lloyd's Much Ado is having a limited run at the Winter Garden this fall is to make sure the theatre remains free for his Evita in the spring. So, those 2 seem pretty likely.

These are two I am surprised aren't on the list as they're ones I have actually heard legitimate talk about.

Where do you keep seeing these rumors about Evita? For all we know if might book a different theater instead of Winter Garden.

I will be shocked if we get even half the revivals listed. If I remember correctly, most revivals have not returned their investments either, and they are getting more and more expensive to produce. Since most revivals do not have huge runs, even if they return their investments, returns are not dramatic. I can think of Chicago and the Sam Mendes Cabaret as big hits...what else? And we also know what a financial disaster the last revival was for its investors.
Wouldn't an investor be more interested in a new musical, even with the rotten track record, because the upside potential ('this is going to be the next Hamilton or Hadestown or Wicked') is much higher than for a revival. I am not saying that investing in new musicals is a sound business investment -- it probably never has been -- but the upside seems more desirable if you are taking a huge risk to begin with. I admit that, were I extremely wealthy, I would be investing in new musicals, because I love musical theatre, not because I really expect to make a huge profit. 'If I do, I am lucky...and incented to invest more'. Not so sure re a revival, although I would happily sign up to invest only in Evita on that entire list. And it is probably fair to assume that a serious Rachel Zegler injury early in the run would probably derail any likelihood of a profit from that either. Really sucks.
