Take my Broadway Fall 2015 poll, and/or just tell us in this thread.
(Note: I list the shows that are opening from September through January -- in other words, I omit the four that have opened already.)

Just one? Impossible!
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Getting to see and hopefully meet Marlee Matlin will be a highlight of my entire life so far.

Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco.

Allegiance and Fiddler on the Roof
My daughter is excited about Spring Awakening
I need to do more research on King Charles III, this looks interesting.

I have to admit that none of these excite me too much so far, but I'll go with Spring Awakening since it's creatively deaf-accessible, which I think is very important.

Def FOOL FOR LOVE!
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

What is it about Allegiance that has people so excited? Lea Salonga? Because everything I've read about it tells me it's the next Amazing Grace. Even the web site is cheesy.

Jbm2 thanks for sharing the link.
I will be watching Allegiance for its story (sad and forgotten history but I think needs to be told), the cast (Lea and George Takei's Broadway debut) and the music (its mini cast album with 5 songs from San Diego tryout is absolutely beautiful), not necessarily in that order. I have been waiting for this show to arrive in Broadway since 2012.
The show will be putting out a 10 part video series for on their road to Broadway leading up to their Opening, the first two are already out (how it began, search for a leading lady before Lea signed on for the Broadway production) and I get teary watching them if anyone else is interested the videos are posted in George Takei/Allegiance fb and Twitter pages
This show may not be for everyone but I do hope it finds an audience!
