As a huge Harry Potter fan, I'm looking forward to Cursed Child, but scared about the tickets going on sale and the madness that will ensue.

Hopefully we will see a transfer of Sweet Charity, The Band's Visit, and maybe Hadestown.

Adopting a hopeful attitude that it sees the light of day next season, I'd definitely pick Buñuel.

Well since that whole season isn't set yet with what's coming I daresay well all be saying Cursed Child and Frozen for a while lolz! I've basically been saying that spring 2018 is gonna be great Broadway year for Pottereheads and Disnerds like myself so there we go :
And actually I've been hearing that breakdowns for Frozen included ALL roles...so I guess there's a chance Betsy may not be continuing with it, but as I've also been saying that if anyone SHOULD continue, it's her. I'd still rather see lesser knowns for the two leads but I'll 1000% be thrilled with Queen Betsy! Can't wait to see promos for when it opens in Denver later this year :
):: (chew on THAT apple, its THIS YEAR already...)
And when those tickets go on sale...holy moly that does frighten me, I think it's inevitable that the ticket sites will crash...

Is Betsy a "well known" name though?
Isnt it also an equity mandate or something that all roles be listed as even if the role is cast?

Besides Frozen, I'm interested to see if the Smokey Joe's Cafe revival ever happens. I'm a sucker for amazing vocals, and I feel like they could cast the hell out of that with people who would bring the house down.

1. I guess it depends on your definition of well known. Betsy is well enough known in the theatre community, and has only gotten more known these past couple of years and if she continues with this, this will catapult her in a big way.
2.If you're referring to the public breakdowns yes, I believe it's required, but I'm referring to agent breakdowns, which list only what is actually being looked for, and It's been reaching my ears that they listed all roles so...this is gonna be interesting. I know actors are getting frustrated with the lack of transparency with those public breakdowns, and there's been rumblings about maybe changing that? I wouldn't quote though.

Very much looking forward to the inevitable revivals of DREAMGIRLS and GYPSY. Also hoping that Stephen Schwartz's new musical, SCHIKANEDER, makes the leap to Broadway next season. We'll see but I'm excited!
