Circle in the Square has Melissa Etheridge: My Window, and the Music Box has Purlie Victorious.

Those are both limited runs, so this could be whatever's coming in afterwards (though summer is a bit misleading in that regard)

I think Notebook may be somewhere else or have been pushed to the Spring. Purlie Victorious is going to the Music Box.
Melissa Etheridge: My Window will be at the Circle in the Square.
I would guess that How to Dance in Ohio is going to either the Jacobs or Schoenfeld. But, if Grey House announces it's closing, then I think it'll go to the Lyceum.

Edited to correct Music Box (I forgot about PV)
A concert never really registers on my mind as a Broadway show show, but you're correct about Melissa. Kind of surprised Gutenberg isn't going there?

I forget which thread it is in, but someone posted that Kenny Leon’s Trading Places had gotten a theater. No idea which one though, or if that rumor is true.

I thought The Wiz was taking the Majestic when it reopened? Maybe it can reopen the Palace?

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that "The Who's Tommy" is going to go into the St. James Theatre. Any takers?? What about "The Wanderer" and "Come Fall in Love"?

I feel like the Majestic refurbish is going to take a while

The WIz isnt coming in till around April, which means it would be around a year refurbishment.

I think Suffs will have an out-of-town this season and then come in next season.

Jones - Gutenberg
Is Chess a “big show?” I’ve only seen it in concert. Feel like it would be better suited at the Jacobs. And I thought The Notebook was holding out for The Music Box.

That just feels like such strange placement to me! Studio 54 is so small!
(but, to clarify, this is not the first I'm hearing of it)

It's a smaller production.
And I think the current version of Tommy would be swallowed whole at the St. James.

Do we think that shows that have been announced might get shuffled around? I seem to recall that last season Almost Famous was announced at the Longacre, and then the Barrymore before opening at the Jacobs.

Did that happen? I have no memory of that.

Almost Famous announced they would open at “a Shubert theatre TBA” in early June last year, then over a month later they had booked the Jacobs and adjusted their dates.

Yeah they were selling tickets for an "unidentified" theatre that was very clearly the Barrymore minus a few rows at the back to obscure it. Garth refused to announce Paradise Square's closing, so they couldn't say that's what they had booked.
When Company announced their closing, they switched over to the Jacobs.

I’d like to see the London production of Crazy For You transfer

I’d love to see Studio 54 be home to Frecknall’s Streetcar Named Desire with Paul Mescal. Hope it does transfer!
