Brigadoon? And what's the name of that new Harry Connick Jr. one?

"reasons to be pretty"

Nice Work if You Can Get It --> The Harry Connick Jr. one.

New Musicals:
Pure Country
The Story of My Life

Also:

I believe "The American Plan" will be considered a revival. It played off-broadway in the 90's.

New Play:
Impressionism

Play Revival:
American Buffalo

Oh, and there was that Playbill article about a "Broadway-bound" Dirty Dancing but I highly doubt that would reach the Main Stem this season, if and when it finally gets here.

9 to 5 is offically going to be on Broadway this season. However, we don't know the theatre yet. From what I heard they wanted the Hirschfeld but Two Cities beat them to it. Interestingly enough. Two cities wanted the Marquis but they couldn't take it because Drowsy was there then cry Baby.

Is 'Merrily We Roll Along' 2009-2010? Damn, I'm not going to have a Sondheim revival to root for at the various awards ceremonies next year. Guess I'll be cheering for 'West Side Story' then! ^_^

what about Jake in Fargut North?? Is that play still happening?

Farraghut North will be part of the Atlantic Theatre Company's season, so, not on Broadway.

Dirty Dancing is trying out in Chicago this fall in anticipation of Broadway this spring.

Anybody heard anything about casting for Speed The Plow? I know they have Jeremy Piven set to play Bobby Gould, but what about the other parts?

This seems like substantially more musicals than last season.

Last season we had 4 revivals and 7 new musicals(ITH,X,CB,PS,YF,ACA,GD). It looks like 5 revivals and 11 new ones.

Or do most seasons look like they'll have a lot at this point in the year, then for various reasons less open?
