Broadway in 2029-30 predictions #1

Posted: 12/4/24 at 3:54pm

Considering so many productions take 7-10 years from initial idea to Broadway. It got me thinking about where and what Broadway theatre will be like by the 2029-30 season

- I’m guess long runners will still be lion king, wicked, Hamilton. (Though I’m guessing Chicago will close up shop by then

- I think we may begin to see more in concert style shows (large orchestra/but low tech). I could be very wrong but i just feel that there needs to be some sort of cultural shift to move back to some larger shows. 
- Disney Revivals of Beauty and the Beast, AiDa and Hercules will be playing

- we will have a return of Julia Roberts on Broadway

- the bio musical will have have become less prominent 

- Alice ripley will come back to Broadway.

STRANGER THINGS: THE FIRST SHADOW, THE HUNGER GAMES, PURPLE RAIN, and JUST FOR ONE DAY will also be long-runners by then. THE GREATEST SHOWMAN will be more recent but it will be well on its way to a healthy New York run.

WARRIORS will have taken the leap from concept album to full-scale musical.

CRAZY RICH ASIANS, 13 GOING ON 30, and THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA will have all flopped in their New York stage transplants.

We know there will be A-list celebrities on some of Broadway's stages, but my prediction is that most of them will end up committing themselves to new and original work.

 

We are the New York Knicks! / We are the New York Knicks! / We are the New York Knicks! / We are the New York Knicks! / Say "Go New York, go New York, go!” / (Go New York, go New York, go!) / Say "Go New York, go New York, go!" / (Go New York, go New York, go!)
