For myself, I will be able to see the new John Leguizamo play, which is a bit exciting. 

I saw the San Diego Globe production of this version of The Age of Innocence set for next February/March & it was a bit of a snooze fest.

I wonder if Katrina Lenk will reprise her role of Mrs. Whatsit that she played last summer. It wasn't a lead role,but I read that it was a great part for her that let her shine.

I enjoyed the reading of this last summer. It was very much a work in progress, but I thought the music was really nice and the cast did a great job with it. Wishing it success.

Does anyone have any idea what the “new musical to be announced” could be?
