Well, I was wrong. I guess Hunchback will be going to Broadway during the 2015-2016 season

Were those two children in the last picture of the clues named Vanya and Sonia or Masha and Spike?

So is this a different production of Hunchback than what is going to La Jolla or is Hunchback no longer playing La Jolla..?

It's a co-production b/w La Jolla and Paper Mill I believe. So it'll play both?

Ahhh, I was just thrown by the "US Premiere" next to it.

Wow. I am very impressed by this season!

3 productions I am really want to see (and I guess it never could hurt to see Vanya, Sonia, et al again)

Almost worth a partial subscription plan?

It was suppose to premiere at La Jolla first but now it seems its premiering at Papermill first...wow what a stacked season.

Who is the star for Can-Can?

Posted: 2/26/14 at 3:56pm

I still think it could play both. La Jolla dates for Hunchback are Oct. 28-Dec. 7 2014. Paper Mill Dates are March 4 through April 5, 2015.

Hopefully Hilty.

I was just wondering the same, especially since its run seems short. I wonder if it's someone who would have other commitments, or that's just how the scheduled worked out.

YES. I am so excited that Ever After is finally happening. What do you think the chances are that the workshop cast will appear in the Papermill production (Sierra Boggess, Jeremy Jordan, Ashley Spencer, Jan Maxwell, Tony Sheldon, etc)?

This is one of their best seasons ever. So excited that Can Can is coming back.

Papermill is calling Hunchback the US premiere even though it's premiering in La Jolla first?

[PlayItAgain]

Posted: 2/26/14 at 4:16pm

Something makes me think its no longer happening at La Jolla first....

If it's a co-production, it would technically be the "U.S. Premiere" at the second theater. La Jolla and Papermill would share that distinction because they're exclusively co-producing the premiere. Where it plays when is somewhat irrelevant, as it's the same production just moving to a new theater (and THAT particular production is a "U.S. Premiere" production).

ETA: Just to clarify further, it doesn't matter which theatre company gets it first or second. They both have a hand in mounting the "U.S. Premiere" as co-producers and presenters. So yes, they can both receive the credit of premiering it. If La Jolla had exclusively premiered their own production and did it before Paper Mill's, they could be the only company to claim ownership of that distinction, but this is joint production where the same cast & crew are traveling with the show to both coasts. They're also sharing in the production costs, so it's a no brainer.

Thanks for your interest in our season. Hunchback of Notre Dame is a co-production of the US premiere with La Jolla.

Gotta give them credit for doing two new-ish musicals next year. They seem to be moving away from the incredibly safe, yet boring, seasons they had a few years ago (during their "dark days" when closure seemed imminent). Glad to see that they've recovered.

I really hope that Sierra Boggess and Ashley Spencer stay with 'Ever After'. They are perfect for Danielle and Marguriette.

Thank you for clarifying, Paper Mill. :)
