Just wondering if anyone's heard any news of productions rumoured to be making their way onto Broadway in the 2015-16 season that haven't been officially announced yet? Theatre's they're likely to go into too?

Announced but not yet confirmed, I believe, include Whorehouse, Hughie, Bright Star, and Gotta Dance. Off the top of my head.

There doesn't seem to be a timeline yet, but someone on the Internet who interviewed Patti LuPone at the Les Mis 30th Anniversary gala said that she said War Paint was going to Chicago and then New York. I really doubt it'll make it for this season, but stranger things have happened.

I pray that happens soon; though, I agree that this season is unlikely. Was Donna Murphy the other name attached? I wonder if she's still involved.

Well since the Blackbird at the Belasco is a limited engagement, any one of these shows could find a home there.

I would totally get tickets to that, Robbie2, but don't post lies as misleading like that.

A revival of Falsettos (which I love) is in the works for 2016, I believe.

^That was supposed to be this season, but it was postponed.

Robbie2, are you just hoping/speculating, or have you actually heard anything about Grounded going into the Booth? 

 

Interestingly, there are actually a fair number of open theatres for the Spring. We've got:

 

Nederlander (fall and Spring - after 10/25)
Lyceum (after 2/21)
Simon (after 1/3)
Booth (after 1/3)
Cort (after 1/24)

Possible availabilities:
Hayes (depending on DAS's success)
Longacre (depending on Allegiance's success)
Marquis (depending on OYF's success)

 

...with 2 of the above going to Hughie and Bright Star. So theoretically, we could see as many as 8 more shows added to the season, if they can all get funding. I hope Amelie does manage to get in, though I they'll need to work on the show between runs. 

 

EDITED after the announcements of Bright Star and Eclipsed

Sylvia is running through January 24th and Lord of the Dance is going into the Lyric next month followed by Paramour.

[JBroadway]

Oh interesting. I can't seem to find a closing date for Sylvia on IBDB or the show's website. Are you sure they aren't just selling tickets until January 24th? 

 

Must have missed the announcement on Lord of the Dance. Will edit.

Just look up more websites that have information on this. Updated On: 10/19/15 at 03:54 PM

wow jbroadway, thats a lot of open theatres

it doesnt seem that there are that many shows "ready" for broadway

to fill the open houses. Perhaps a few more UK transfers

 

Has the Miss Saigon transfer gotten a theatre yet????

I don't think so but I hope they will soon!

Miss Saigon is going to be a part of the 16/17 season and will probably replace LES MIZ at the Imperial. 

I really hope a few more new musicals get added to the season.

Waterfall has been playing at the 5th Ave in Seattle and the reviews seem to be good. They are advertising it by saying "Don't miss this production before it heads to Broadway". If they keep workin on it, it could be Coming to Broadway

I thought Hughie was confirmed for the season, but just hadn't announced a theater.

 

Bright Star's future for this season I think depends on the success of the Kennedy Center run.

After more searching, I did find a few websites that listed January 24th as the closing date, but also found trustworthy websites (including IBDB) that didn't list any closing date at all, which is odd.

Eclipsed with Lupita Nyaong'o will be transferring from the public and going into the golden in February. Box office staff confirmed last week.

Motown's twitter bio confirms the show is coming back to Broadway next July.
