Are you talking only musicals, or plays and musicals? Just Broadway or Off-Broadway as well? Paris Letter is an Off-Broadway play, by the way. A Chorus Line is 2006 - 2007 season (San Francisco in the summer of 2006 and Broadway in the Fall). Jerry Springer is a HUGE question mark after its failure in London.

After the Night and the Music (Play -- Biltmore)
Lennon (Broadhurst)
Mambo Kings
Princesses
The Odd Couple (Revival)
Lestat
The Color Purple
Suzanne Summers
The Constant Wife (Roundabout)
Fool For Love (Roundabout)
Threepenny Opera (Roundabout)
Festen
The Opposite of Sex?
Sweeney Todd
The Woman In White
Mary Poppins?

I KNEW it.

At least with After the Night, Primo, Shining City and Festen, there are four new plays opening - which should certainly raise the tally on the new play front for the season... This year ('04-'05), we've had five new plays TOTAL.

What about Nefertiti, or however you spell it?

If Princesses, Lennon, Woman in White, Jerry Springer, The Wedding Singer, Lestat, The Color Purple, The Opposite of Sex and Mary Poppins all open next year, it could be another great season for musicals. We might have two 1990's in a row (when all four of the musicals nominated were worthy of winning). And don't forget that Zanna, Don't is still trying to get on Broadway.

Paris Letter is Off Broadway for a limited run & is not a musical. Odd Couple & Barefoot are not musicals either

Soooooo stoked for Princesses! My good friend's sister is in it and has been telling him how great of a show it's going to be. Can't wait to go out and see it!
