The Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Ontario, Canada has announced that SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE will make it's North American Premiere during their 2016 season.  

Here is the press release: 

Shakespeare In Love

Based on the screenplay by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard Adapted for the stage by Lee Hall
Directed by Declan Donnellan
North American Première

By special arrangement with Disney Theatrical Productions and Sonia Friedman Productions

Directed by four-time Olivier Award winner Declan Donnellan, the West End hit romantic comedy Shakespeare In Love will have its North American première at the Stratford Festival. In this imagined biography, young Will Shakespeare, tormented by writer’s block and in desperate need of a new hit, finds inspiration in the guise of passionate noblewoman Viola, who moves him to write the greatest love story of all time. Art mirrors life – and vice versa – as love blossoms for the Bard amid a hilarious riot of chaos, confusion and backstage theatrics.

After that....Broadway?
