I've already gotten Clue #1 figured out, I've got some ideas of what Clue #2 might be, but I'm trying to figure out Clue #3.

 

I'm wondering if any of you could have some idea of what Clue #3 could be. Any ideas?

Something Rotten, Kinky Boots & Matilda??

I feel like the honey is almost certainly Miss Honey—Matilda.

#1 seems like Spamalot

 

#2 could be Oklahoma

 

#3 - maybe Mary Poppins? (A spoonful of honey.....)

^ The correct lyric is "spoonful of sugar."

They are already doing Mary Poppins this summer.

Clue #1-Spamalot

 

Clue #2-Always...Patsy Cline? Annie Get Your Gun? The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas? Oklahoma!? The Will Rogers Follies?

 

Clue #3-Milk and Honey? A Taste of Honey?

What about Milk and Honey?

Does the theater usually house Broadway tours or do their own regional productions?

[Jeffrey Karasarides]

Posted: 2/17/16 at 2:08pm

Mostly regional productions with a couple nonunion tours.

[Wilmingtom]

1. In-house South Pacific

2. Tour of Whorehouse

3. Tour of Matilda

They do 6 shows per season so these are just 3 of them.

As Bees in Honey Drown? Kind of an oddball choice for a season, though.

I doubt the honey is for Matilda, considering that tour just came to the DPAC last month. Same with the boot for Kinky Boots. I think the coconuts are definitely Spamalot, the boots are maybe 9 to 5, and the honey is probably Mamma Mia (Honey, Honey).

If the theatre doesn't get the big Equity tours, shows like Matilda, Kinky Boots, Mamma Mia ect are all unlikely, no?

Could the honey be Spelling Bee? Bee -> honey

I was thinking Best Little Whorehouse for the cowboy boot, but it could also be Annie Get Your Gun or 9 To 5...

Everybody seems to agree on Spamalot for the coconuts but my first thought was actually Once On The Island (which I know nothing about, but just going off the title)

Mamma mia is actually non-equity

[seaweedjstubbs]

Plus, since Mamma Mia has closed on Broadway, it's slowly becoming available for licensing. Several regional theatres are doing it this summer.

Copacabana?

Walking Happy? 9 to 5?

Milk and Honey?

Clue #4 was just posted, and I am really confused by it. Does anyone have any idea of what it could be?

Clue #4 is turning water into wine. Jesus Christ Superstar? Altar Boyz? 

[Jeffrey Karasarides]

Posted: 2/18/16 at 1:58pm

I just looked it up, it is Jesus Christ Superstar.

Just discovered this and wondered why no one was mentioning #4 (didn't realize it was just added), but I immediately assumed Jesus Christ Super Star.   But why couldn't #1 be simply the zany "Cocoanuts, the Musical"?    Could they be doing Winnie the Pooh?  LOL .   I immediately see the boot as Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.

Here is a bonus clue that was shared on social media, and it's suppose to be used in combination with with the cowboy boots from Clue #2 to guess the show. Any ideas?

I haven't seen either Best Little Whorehouse nor 9 To 5, but with that bonus clue it's not Annie Get Your Gun, I don't think.

The 5th clue is outline of Iowa (had to look that up haha), so probably The Music Man? Or is anything else set in Iowa or connected to Iowa?

The Bridges of Madison County?
