From what I have gathered here on the boards:
The Visit is just looking for a Shubert house. Someone on here said Imperial, but it is all if a house opens up.
The Band Wagon, I believe, is off after the Times review. Maybe with a workshop or two it could come in, but not this season.
Dames at Sea is looking for the right house.
Amazing Grace wants to come in either spring or fall 2015, depending on theatre availability/money.
Unsure about Bull Durham.
I think a Can Can transfer is out of the picture with the Times review.
Gigi wants to come in, pending a theatre suitable for it opens up (I am hoping Richard Rodgers).
Unsure about Living on Love.
Little Dancer, if it comes, I believe someone said next season.
Hunchback would be next season because it is running at Papermill this spring.
Diner starts in DC tonight, unsure about Broadway musical plans.
Unsure about Best Little Whorehouse/Allegiance.
Charlie is coming in next season I believe.
King Kong was planning on next season, but who know's with that one.
Miss Saigon is next season.
Unsure about Titanic.

That is what I've gathered from the fourms here, hope this helps. :)
If anyone has heard differently, please let me know, because I am interested in this stuff as well.

This season - Spring 2015:

The Visit - Shubert House (Jacobs, Longacre, Imperial ?)
Gigi (all depends on Kennedy Ctr. reviews)- Nederlander House (Rodgers?)

The First Wives Club could be fall 2015 at the earliest. Depending on how it goes in Chicago.

Miss Saigon I imagine will be either Winter Garden, Imperial or The Broadway. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has to wait for Sam Mendes to finish filming Spectre so it likely won't be on Broadway until Spring 2016 at the earliest but it needs a big theatre so somewhere like the Broadway, St James, Palace, Lyric are the likely theatres.

Andrew Lloyd Webber mentioned in an interview he's planning to bring School of Rock to Broadway next December so that he'll likely want a theatre like the Neil Simon or the Richard Rodgers.

In terms of plays, I think King Charles III will likely come to Broadway and also Shakespeare in Love, the latter being a Disney co-production could end up at a Nederlander theatre, perhaps the Rodgers, Brooks Atkinson or even the Nederlander.
