Next Season: 2025-2026

What's everyone looking forward to?

So far, we have the following announced....

Musicals - Mamma Mia, Queen of Versailles, Lost Boys, Rocky Horror revival, Dolly, and Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil. We may possibly get Get Happy (previously Summer Stock at Goodspeed) and The Interestings (from Sarah Bareilles).

Dramas - Call Me Izzy, Waiting for Godot, Oedipus, Punch, Sugar Daddy, Fallen Angels, and All Out: A Comedy About Life.

So far, nothing has sparked much interest here.

Waiting for confirmation on Chess, Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) and the Jamie Lloyd Much Ado.

Anxious to hear what you're all excited for...

What about Coal Miner's Daughter?

I read an article, I believe to be on Deadline, that GIANT starring John Lithgow is supposed to transfer sometime after it concludes its West End transfer later this summer.

As of some potential transfers to New York from London:

• The Years
• Much Ado
• EVITA (If it is successful in London)

Webber had an interview this morning where he mentioned Cats the Jellicle Ball. Apparently it’s aiming for a 2026 transfer so next spring.

Hope Benjamin Button comes over and that Chess gets confirmed.

There’s also the rumored Damn Yankees revival.

Last I heard, which was a couple weeks ago, Cats still has no theatre lined up. That, of course, could have changed, but it does seem dependent on currently running productions setting closing plans (imo, the current configuration of Circle in the Square for Just in Time is pretty darn similar to Cats’ setup at PAC)

Yeah, if I were part of the producing team of Cats, I would just wait until Circle in the Square is open. Just in Time won't run forever, probably just the length of whatever Groff's contract is.

Just in Time is currently on sale until the end of July for regular tickets, but group sales are selling later. Guess they’re hedging their bets on an extension, but it’s a ton of work for Groff. We’ll see how long he can hang.

I just wonder how much time Lithgow will have after the London run with his multi-year commitment to the new Harry Potter cable series."

Dumbledore is not that big of a character, they could easily block shoot all of his stuff in a few weeks

Some other possibilities include:

The Devil Wears Prada (Chicago & UK)

Becoming Nancy (Alliance & UK)

Empire Records (McCarter)

Come Fall in Love (Old Globe)

Regency Girls (Old Globe)

The Bedwetter (Atlantic & Arena)

A Wrinkle in Time (Arena)

The Karate Kid (St. Louis)

They all had broadway producers behind them, so will be interested to see which end up getting theaters.

Setting has changed. If I remember correctly, it’s in Cornwall now. I definitely enjoyed it, but I could see NY being hesitant about it. We’ve had similar shows that haven’t hit. The narration is Come From Away-like, but the music felt very Last Ship (the Sting show). I believe that was also set in Cornwall, and I love that music too, but audiences clearly didn’t.

There is a show premiering in Pittsburgh at the end of the month touting it as “Broadway and West End Bound,” called “Madame Clicquot: A Revolutionary Musical” about the woman who changed the champagne industry. The commercial producer attached is 42 Parallel Productions. Book, Music and Lyrics by Lisett Goldowski and Richard C. Walter. Not sure of their timeline, it’s been in development for years.
