Anyone have guesses for their next season? I seem to be stumped this year...

All I know is that the bee is 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPEELING BEE and the one with the men is possibly HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS....

They did Spelling Bee back in 2011, I don't think they'd be doing it again. I think the rooster might be Annie for the holidays.

Papermill did Spelling Bee about 6 years ago. I wonder if they would bring it back so soon.

The Bus makes me wonder if they would consider doing Violet.

Is the last one possibly Half Time?

Could the buses be Violet?

VIOLET was my first thought as well.

I wouldn't be shocked to see the clock be HALF-TIME. Possibly a fall Papermill run before opening in the Spring?

Violet makes much more sense than my first thought - Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

Half the clock MUST be Half Time, no?

The one with the suits could be How to Succeed?

I just noticed the name on the bus -- Gotham. As in Gotham Bus Company? Maybe Honeymooners?

^ Are the pictures usually that detailed?

The bee is associated with a new musical -- not SPELLING BEE

Oh, it's a bee. I couldn't even tell that's what it was

Bee = The Honeymooners?

How to Succeed, Half Time, and The Honeymooners are the three I can clearly see.

The men are HOW TO SUCCEED,

The clock is HALF TIME,

The bee is a new musical.

The bus is THE HONEYMOONERS.

The rooster is a play.

The rooster is DEFINITELY Annie.

Rooster - Peter Pan

Double Becker London bus - Billy Elliott

If there are new musicals in the bunch, this "contest" makes no sense. How does a person guess a show that has never been heard of.

The rooster is made out of flower petals and leaves. I'm sure that's significant.

Very true. Didn't even notice that before...not Annie.

H2S. You're right! Brilliant guess. I bet you're right.

I'm with everyone else on Half Time. With that cast, it's exciting to see it moving forward.

Does it mean anything that there's a close-up on the bee?

I'm actually still thinking Annie. I could be totally off but those look like lily petals to me. So it would be Rooster and Lily St. Regis.

I remember reading somewhere that there was a musical version of the movie "Secret of My Success" in the works.  Could that be the one that everyone thinks is H2S?

I feel like Annie is unlikely. It was JUST on Broadway and it's still touring... but hey, what do I know.
