Can't wait. This seems perfect for Jerry Mitchell. I may need to go to Chicago.

Why do I think this show is going to be a big fat hit?

I could watch Stark Sands sing a phonebook and be impressed so I've been in for this from the beginning. Damn, looks like my trips to NY are going to get expensive next season!

Kinky Boots plays Chicago in Oct-Nov, but doesn't come to Broadway until March. I wonder if it will play anywhere else in between?

ACL I'm curious about why you put Cinderella in the revival list. Has there ever been a Broadway production of Cinderella before?
Canmark, they will probably use November to March to re-tool the show for its New York opening.

Really seems like this season could be hit-or-miss. Chaplin, Scandalous, and Rebecca could go either way, leaning towards the not-so-positive end of that unless they've made some improvements. Diner might not even open, it hasn't announced a theatre, right? Christmas Story will probably end up like ELF, since it's just a limited engagement holiday show. I hope Kinky Boots ends up being a great, surprise hit. Bring It On's reviews were fairly positive overall, and it has a fresh young cast.

CINDERELLA has been around for way too long to be considered a "new" musical. It's constantly performed in various regional productions, etc. It'll be deemed a "revival," although I would assume that Douglas Carter Beane would be eligible for his new book.

I'll hold judgement until some reviews start coming. This seems a little too close to Priscilla-men in drag dancing around to Cyndi Lauper tunes. Seems a bit of a yawn and how will they market this after Priscilla struggled to find an audience?
I only hope Cyndi writes some powerhouse emotional ballads, which she does well. If she keeps it all dance heavy, this show will be a snooze.
Super gay themed shows don't seem to do too well on Broadway. Jerry Mitchell has been a bit of flop magnet lately too.

It doesn't matter what Playbill says about Cinderella (regarding Tony eligibility). They are labeling the show as "revival" on their own accord. The show's eligibility in the "Best Musical" or "Best Revival of a Musical" category is determined based upon the initial submission from the producers with a final ruling by the Tony Administration Committee. Likely, the Committee will rule it a revival, with the real possibility that Douglas Carter Beane will be eligible for "Best New Book of a Musical."
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
