I'd guess the first is Unmasked
The colorful one is Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat [PaperMill's second show usually leads into the holidays and is family-focused]
Susan Boyle..I have no idea.
I thought the clock was a pie, so I thought Sweeney Todd
Hands On A Hardbody would be an interesting choice for Papermill, since the side of the van has watches on it.

Are we sure that black and white graphic is a clock? There are no numbers on it, and they've used clock images in the past that were very clearly a clock (like when they did Half Time). It could just as easily be a pie with a slice cut out.
Sometimes these dont really pan out though...remember when the image for Beauty and the Beast was a picture of all the countries in the world, colored various shades of blue? Still confused about that one (it made me think of the song "Big Blue World" and I got sort of excited thinking that Disney was expanding the Anderson-Lopez's Finding Nemo Musical from Animal Kingdom into a full show haha).

The clue you're referring to was for My Very Own British Invasion and not BATB. I think the golden eggs were BATB? I can't remember.
I'm guessing Unmasked, Hands on a Hardbody, and Cinderella (10 minutes taken off of clock...holiday show?) I have no guess for the Susan Boyle clue, although it is a picture of her carrying the Queen's Baton. I also don't know about the holi paint clue.

I also dont think the Susan Boyle one is torch song because its not a torch she's carrying, but the "Queens Baton."
A baton made me think Music Man...but with the Hugh Jackman announcement, would a major company so close to New York be able to get the rights to that? Could just be Les Mis, which would be their big mass appeal show to act as an anchor for the season.
If the Holi Festival pic is Joseph...that's a really lame clue for Joseph. I would hope its a Bollywood inspired project or a show with a play on "Holi" (like if they made a christmas musical called "Holly and Ivy" or something).

No way Paper Mill is doing Sunday in the Park, Last 5 Years, Bombay Dreams, Hands on a Hardbody, or Torch Song. Think mainstream. And they're already doing Beauty and the Beast in May of this year.
Cinderella and Joseph are ideal Paper Mill shows. Unmasked makes sense, because the computer symbols shown are "paste layer mask." Groundhog Day could work, too, and I think that would be the definitive end to the rumors of a tour or Off-Bway run.
Les Mis tour has no dates listed after April 26, 2020, if they pull a Color Purple. Also, this "new" version of Les Mis premiered at Paper Mill back in 2010, so it would be sort of symbolic to end it at Paper Mill.
They've been doing 1-2 original musicals each year, so maybe the van is something new. Or (and this is a stretch) a re-worked version of the Little Miss Sunshine musical?

Ah. Well then the images were out of order, as Beauty and the Beast was the final show of the season, which should line up with the last pic: the blue countries. That clue DOES make more sense for British Invasion...but the eggs for BATB still doesnt make sense to me.

Funnily enough, I was also thinking little miss sunshine for the van.

Unmasked

If Susan Boyle is holding the Queen's Baton, could this be We Will Rock You, since Queen is hot again, with the film Bohemian Rhapsody?
#37

My final guesses are
Unmasked
Sunday in the Park with George
Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella
Hands on a Hardbody
We Will Rock You
#38

Unmasked
Monsoon Wedding
Cinderella (makes sense, but why?)
The Flamingo Kid (could be a co-production with Hartford Stage, also the van has starfish on it, beach, car salesman?)
We Will Rock You

Wasn't there actually a Susan Boyle musical on the West End a few years ago? I Dreamed a Dream? I want to say Fox bought the rights to the musical so they could roll it into another musical they were developing based on Susan Boyle's life.

Not so much a stretch. Arcola Theater in London is doing a reworked Little Miss Sunshine next month!

Season announced! Chasing Rainbows (the Judy Garland bio musical), R&H's Cinderella, Unmasked (the ALW revue), Sister Act, and the world premiere of The Wanderer, a bio musical about Dion.

I get the Unmasked (computer), Cinderella (the clock), but I'm assuming its the multi colours for Chasing Rainbows, Susan Boyle and her fellow sisters (?) are for Sister Act, and the van with the watches is the Wanderer?

The joke with the Susan Boyle photo is that she's running. One of Dion's most famous songs is "Runaround Sue." The other photo for Sister Act is a van, with images of Cartier watches. Van + Cartier = Deloris Van Cartier.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

I must remind myself never to play this game again. Every-time the season is announced, I think back on the clues and go "HUH?"

I just got told I won this competition for being the closest guesser for getting 2 correct. Unfortunately I won't be able to go so will tell them to give the prize to someone else.

Aww they emailed me telling me I won, probably after you told them you couldn't go. I'm looking forward to seeing Benny and Joon next month!
