I know that Holiday Inn is deep in previews, but I thought it would be nice to see what everyone thinks will be the dark horse musical of the fall part of the season. Personally, I think it will be "A Bronx Tale".

A dark horse implies that there's already a favorite. Isn't it way too early for either?

Great Comet is by far the favorite. Dear Evan Hansen could be considered it also, but I would say that is more of a winter show.

I'm interested to see what In Transit will be like given how little we know about it.

I think In Transit. I know it's early but A Bronx Tale has flop written all over it IMO

...isn't a 'dark horse' the exact opposite of what you're describing here? I was always under the impression that the dark horse is a low-expectation property that becomes an unexpected front runner and crowd favorite, when talking Broadway. Not an already preferred favorite.

I saw Bronx Tale at Papermill, and every time I see anything about it, I have to remind myself that I saw it. This is certainly not the worst show ever, but there is absolutely nothing memorable to it. Even with a talented creative team, there was just nothing to this. Unless some major changes were made, I expect this to be forgotten by the time the Tonys come around.
