YES!!! I will be "doing the 'du" in Pittsburgh AND Cleveland next season!

And finally Phantom returns... it's been way too long since I've seen it.

Awesome season!!

Looks like I am going to be busy! Wonderful schedule!

Of course, I'll have to throw in a couple NYC trips for ROA, lol.

Cleveland has some beautiful theaters, too.

I can't agree with you more, Blue, about the beauty of the theatres in Playhouse Square. Growing up seeing the national tours in the Palace and the State (and the very rare trip up to the Fox in Detroit) I couldn't get over how small the Broadway theatres seemed when I first started going to NY.

Hopefully Trista Moldovan is still with the tour of Phantom when it comes around. She deserves to get all the "local girl becomes a star" coverage that will come with it.

Speaking of Cleveland:

This is an extremely wonderful, worthy cause, and those in the area should consider going and supporting it!

I live in Cleveland and this season seems pretty good to me. I'm not thrilled about Dirty Dancing and Grease, and I'm a bit iffy about Chicago, but the others are pretty great...
I saw Heights, Xanadu, and Frankenstein and liked all those (though more than others...) and I'm beyond thrilled about August! I was just hoping for Cry Baby or South Pacific, though, and I don't really know why they didn't try to get those instead to be honest. Overall, a great year, though!
By the way, are we SURE that Wicked is coming to Cleveland in November?

I am SO jealous. I'm moving away from Cleveland this summer to Indianapolis, a city in which their largest theater doesn't even have a website.

I saw Chicago in Cleveland in 2003.

I'm thinking about Young Frankenstein for sure and August OC. I might just have to see Xanadu since I see it mentioned so many times when people talk about Rock of Ages.
