^ none of those are at all confirmed to be on broadway next year.
the only three things I know definitely have a confirmed broadway run for next year:
On A Clear Day You Can See Forever
Detroit
The Mountain Top

Actually, until a show announces a real specific start date, cast, and venue, you never know if there's any real chance of it happening or not.
And even when they do announce those things, it's not rare for everything to fall apart (remember Godspell?).
Only Mountaintop has announced a specific date and theatre; it doesn't yet have a full cast.
So - nothing is really sure for 2011-2012 at this point.

Bonnie & Clyde, by Frank Wildhorn is an original musical that's coming out. I saw it in Sarasota - unlike most of Wildhorn's other work, it's absolutely fabulous. Laura Osnes and Jeremy Jordan are doing the leads :)
There's also a possibility of Bring It On coming to Broadway, but it's touring first.
I heard about (though nothing confirmed) 'Sleepless in Seattle', and Megan Hilty done the reading!
^yes..I talked with David Zellnik a few weeks ago and he said that it is going to be here soon and that "everything is good"

Someone said in the other thread that they were eyeing Zhivago for next April but I think that's still very unsure. Wasn't an American version of Rebecca in the works too or is that opening in Toronto next year? I guess even if Tales of the City is a big hit in San Fran there'd be little chance of it transfering by the next season...
I too loved Bonnie and Clyde.
Think it is going to surprise a lot of people and change Wildhorn's
naysayers.
Didn't like Wonderland but loved Bonnie and Clyde in Sarasota. Very different.

yeah I am sure Bonnie and CLyde will have no problem whatsoever getting its money seeing as Wildhorn is such a huge moneymaker..

Little Miss Sunshine is still in the works
Other Desert Cities
And potentially White Noise

The Annie Revival was recently announced to open Fall 2012, so it'll be in the 2012-2013 season. Not the next upcoming one.
Personally, I'd like a revival of Titanic. 2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the ship sinking.

I never heard of Rebecca opening in Toronto as a possibility. Where was this said?

Allegiance with Lea Salonga and George Takei. The show is aiming for a 2012 opening from the last time I heard of it.

For a while now various sites had been talking about Rebecca doing Toronto first... *shrug*
I agree Massofmen. With Wonderland turning into a punch line, Frank is probably going to have a hard time financing a Broadway production of Bonnie & Clyde. A shame because I have a few friends who saw it in Florida who's opinions I respect and they pretty much raved about it.
