Seattle 2019 Season announced

Don't see a thread for this, but was notified today of next seasons line up for the 2018/19 Broadway Season. The 7 shows are:

Dear Evan Hansen

The Colour Purple

Waitress

School of Rock

Cats

Charlie & the Chocolate Factory

On Your Feet



Really looking forward to the first 3, will see the 4th one, and the last three I will skip....but overall not too bad?

Can I ask why you're both steadfastly against 'On Your Feet'? Have you seen it before? I saw the tour when it opened in September. Had never seen the show and am not a HUGE fan of Gloria Estefan but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I saw On Your Feet on Broadway and I didn't enjoy it. I thought that while all the actors were working hard and were amazing dancers, I wasn't engaged with the story. For me, a fantastic musical has an interesting story that is seamlessly told by designers, direction, music, dancing, and acting. On Your Feet had the dancing and not much else.

And for me I just don't care for her music. Not my cup of tea, so seeing a show based on that material wouldn't interest me. Saw DEH with Ben Platt last year, so thats a tough act to follow, but we will still enjoy the show Im sure. Im assuming none of the incarnations of these shows are touring right now (maybe colour of purple as its in the summer?) Casting etc will be interesting for some of these.

Thanks! Just searched for it, turns out it was announced in May. I’m behind! http://www.playbill.com/article/willy-wonka-will-hit-the-road-when-charlie-and-the-chocolate-factory-embarks-on-national-tour

I wonder why it’s not on this page? They probably just forgot to update it. http://www.playbill.com/article/current-and-upcoming-national-tours

I totally agree with you. Broadway Across Canada has been very disappointing for years. fingers crossed....

Oh, and thanks ripped man, Im going to start searching out these shows that are already touring! See what kind of feedback is out there. :)

Couldn't agree more Canadian in NY. It is unfortunate that there isn't a better Venue. I do go to several shows a year in our community as we also like to support local talent. My wife and I have been very fortunate to be able to go to Seattle 5-6 times a year, and have also been to Broadway 4-5 times over the years as well. We are seeing Hamilton in Seattle next month and are very much looking forward to it.
