They are getting quite the 07/08 season! They're getting:

The Color Purple
The Drowsy Chaperone
Avenue Q
My Fair Lady
GYPSY
Mama Mia!

and I believe Wicked is coming too.. but Gypsy and My Fair Lady!? I hope they come near me too.

At first, I thought this thread said "Philadelphia Is Lurky!" Which would just be another excellent reason to be jealous.

WOW.

Great season! I hope I have the money for tickets...

Y'know, sometimes I think Philadelphia doesn't suck all that much. This is one of those times. (I live there.)

Stop everything!

Where is the tour schedule for Avenue Q?!

As great as it is to have Avenue Q come here, the Academy of Music is going to completely swallow that show.

It'll be at the forrest.

Oh, good. The Academy is too big for it's own good.

Can anyone tell me if the Avenue Q tour schedule is up and if so, where it can be found?!

If it doesn't come here, I will have a fit.

ditto amber!
but then a do a double-take and realize that i still am not a fan of philly. not in the least.

but my fair lady? i have acually always wanted to see that performed.
but i have always been a firm believer than it isn't a real broadway-esque show unless it's in new york.

i am from new york, but i go to college in philadelphia....as much as i love ny and have every intention to head back after i finish pursuing my BFA in musical theater, i must say that philly is an incredible place for seeing theater because it is sooooo much less expensive than NYC....i saw Porgy and Bess for 5 dollars, the pillowman for 10, and many many many others for similar prices...last semester, i saw close to 16 shows, which meant a show a week..i see plenty of shows in NYC, but there is a much bigger whole in my pocket....yes for better shows, but the shows in philly ain't bad. i'm uber excited for next season!!!
