From an SHN Facebook update:

"09/10 season update: Still working on finalizing the shows on the season and we hope to announce in mid-July. Stay tuned and thanks for your patience!"

Heh, I wonder how many people have been bugging them.

Good to hear some kind of update. I wonder if the delay is due to one of the shows not working out and having to find a replacement show. This wouldn't be the first time they had to do something like that.

A show not working out for SHN!? Parish the thought.

I am stunned. Just... stunned. Stunned cannot begin to describe just how... stunned I am.

I wonder if the delay of the season announcement is due to the chance SF might loose a Billy Elliot sitdown to Chicago. Assuming it was going to be one of the planned shows for the coming season anyway. According to this piece from the Chicago Tribune the presenters in both cities are lobbying hard to get it.

And if the producers are smart, if they can't give it to both and have to pick one city, they'll go with Chicago. Broadway in Chicago is much better at marketing, and is generally easier to work with. I love SF, but B'way in Chicago is one of the best presenters of national tours in the country. I would rank SHN as 5 or 6 out of the top ten.

What an interesting article. I for one, hope Next to Normal is coming to San Francisco, which it most likely will.

I'd like to see a big show like Billy but I wouldn't be devastated if it went to Chicago. That show has big hype behind it but I'm not buying it.

According to a post on SHN's Facebook page, we'll have to wait a few more weeks for next season's announcement. Honestly, not suprised they're pushing it back again.

Wait, where does it say that? If it is true, I can't help but wonder how correct the supposed leak was, if it's taken them this long, there may have been some change

Sorry, forgot the link. Scroll down, someone asks why they haven't put out an announcement yet.

Broadway in Chicago just announced that BILLY ELLIOT will go there first, so that might be an upset for SHN.

Could Billy choosing Chicago over SF be what was holding up the announcement?

It might not be a complete upset. It's mentioned at the end of this article announcing the Chicago produciton of Billy Elliot, that the producers may put together another production of the show possibly for SF a few months after the Chicago is up and running.

We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Most likely. Now here's to hoping for HAIR or Next to Normal. But expecting another show just making a stop in SF instead of making a tour kick-off.

Disappointing how SHN hasn't been able to get very many premieres in the past couple seasons. Chicago gets a plethora of shows including Young Frankenstein, Billy Elliot, Shrek the Musical and also Mary Poppins. I'm not saying that I'm crazy about these shows and others, but the multitude of shows and premieres that Chicago is able to get...

Wait, if it comes to SF after 6 months in Chicago, couldn't it premiere in September of 2010 and still be part of this current season, or would it be the first show of 2010-2011?

If they are able to get BILLY this coming season, I'll be surprised. The show will run in Chicago indefinitely, until people stop buying tickets according to the producers. BIC is a better marketing force than SHN, so it's not surprising. Plus, Chicago has shown itself to be able to hold more than one open-end long run at a time, SF hasn't. With WICKED dominating SF's market for long runs right now, it's smart to stay away until the green girl vacates.

The delay has probably been because of hopeful negotiations with BILLY ELLIOT. Now, who knows.
