Incoming new musicals

Hippest Trip, Smash, Buena Vista, Preacher’s Wife, Mincemeat, Dead Outlaw, and QOV should all be coming in this season. G&P might also announce sometime this month — they’re not performing at BroadwayCon this year for nothing.

2025-26 is looking very jukebox heavy already: Johnny and June, Sinatra, Purple Rain, Burlesque, Lord of the Rings, perhaps Just for One Day / Fangirls / Mad Hatter.

Gatsby comes in soon after the Bruni production closes, whenever that may be. Not sure about Real Women Have Curves at this point, but I won’t be surprised if that takes a NY house too.

Stay tuned, and buckle up.

I don’t think there will be as many houses available this season given how many successful shows there are from last season. Theres also more musical revivals and new plays this season too. I wouldn’t be surprised if we get less than 10 new musicals.

Whats G&P?????

Only 8 have announced. I keep forgetting the Sondheim revue.

what’s the scoop on these"

Some more new musicals out there, The Lost Boys (promoted on the Tonys) Take The Lead and Mystic Pizza (Papermill) Muhammad Ali Musical, I’m Every Woman The Chaka Kahn Musical, Millions at the Alliance, Becoming Nancy (getting workshopped in UK by Jerry Mitchell) The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is likely to transfer after its West End run, The Artist musical after it transfers to the West End, Empire Records (premieres this fall regional) Ken Davenport said he will continue workshopping the Joy Mangano musical soon.

some other shows floating out there, In Pieces, Wild About You, Amber Ruffins “Big Foot”, Beaches, Thelma and Louise, Maggie, My Best Friends Wedding, Three Houses, The Lonely Few,

If the show hasn’t even had a production yet, I didn’t include it on the list. I know there’s lots of musicals in development. I heard Fortress of Solitude was being picked up again with Andre DeSheilds. I could see Smash, Hippest Trip, Queen of Versailles, and Operation Mincemeat, maybe gun and powder coming in this season. I still don’t think it’ll be as many as last season.

I haven't really been paying attention but is there still speculation that Hercules will replace Aladdin following its West End run?

Wasn’t Come Fall in Love the runner up for the Imperial? I could see that coming to Broadway soon

I am curious about Swept Away and Maybe Happy Ending- and Satchmo-so much of what is coming here in the fall are revivals (Sunset Boulevard, Once Upon a Mattress, Gypsy) and then there's Tammy Faye and Death Becomes Her..but the ones I'm curiou about- do they have a chance to survive in a very competitive landscape?

This season will be all about the plays and musical revivals, as there are so many megastars to move the needle that we may get very, very close to pre-COVID box office figures.
