Well, this explains some of the wait.  Mr. Rudes's lawsuits.

FWIW, Hadestown is listed for 9/7 on SeatGeek

Thanks for clarifying, I hadn't even considered any show would want to open before the 14th.

I did. Why wouldn't they want to be the only Broadway show in town open for a week? That just sounds like a great idea but I am surprised they are coming back to early. Wonderful.

So maybe Hadestown and Book of Mormon reopen before September 14?

Where did you see Hadestown for sale? I just looked and the page says "No shows - get notified when new events are added in your area"

My Hadestown ticket for 9/4 transferred over to SeatGeek  from Ticketmaster.

They took it down ten minutes after I posted. Maybe they were testing

I wholeheartedly agree"

Just announced: Returning October 13.

Oh boy... I love the show, but I don't see it lasting past New Year's 2022. I hope I'm wrong, though.

I really hope Mare will continue with this. While I truly loved the show, she was exceptional and deserves the chance to be seen by as many people as possible.

So essentially we're just waiting on Book of Mormon, West Side Story, Too Kill a Mockingbird, American Buffalo & The Lehman Trilogy.

As of today, Mockingbird has literally ONE date available for purchase on 1/21/22 and nothing else with no information posted. They are most likely working on it.

I just want to say how insane it is that in a worldwide pandemic that shut broadway down for A YEAR AND A HALF, we only lost, what, 4 shows, not counting the handful that were already set to close?

Does anyone know when Flying Over Sunset will be putting tickets on sale?

Hangmen, ...Virginia Woolf?, Mean Girls, Frozen -sounds right to me. The Inheritance and Beetlejuice were set to close anyway, pandemic or not.

And yes, it is insane that B'way is coming back (or at least attempting to come back) with this many shows. I thought there would be many more casualties, so I am pleasantly surprised.

Previews begin December 20 (same day as Company), and opening night is February 10, 2022. This was announced seven months ago.

Most likely on a test run?

But I understand from Customer Service- Telecharge that they will be selling tickets to MOCKINGBIRD very soon.

Agreed. Even a month ago I was thinking, "realistically it'll be Wicked, Hamilton, The Lion King, Aladdin, Chicago, and Phantom." Mainly because they're such well-oiled machines and have built in audiences. I thought maybe if anything else would come back other than those, maybe Hadestown and Six. But, wow! So many shows returning that I wasn't sure would. Happy to see it.

Every time there was an announcement extending the length of the shutdown, I remember coming onto this board and watching numerous posters predict an imminent tidal wave of closing notices. It's pretty wild that, of the 24 open-ended shows that were in performances on March 11, 2020, it looks like only two of them won't be returning. Just goes to show how difficult it was for any of us to predict what would be waiting on the other side of this pandemic.

Of course, this being BroadwayWorld, we already have people talking about how Broadway will never be able to sustain this level of reopening activity, and there's a bloodbath coming in January 2022. You'd think we'd all be able to just appreciate how many shows are taking their chances on a return, putting people back to work after 18 months of hardship and welcoming back audiences after a scary and difficult year, but, alas. I guess I should know better.

Ignore the naysayers and go to as many shows as you can.  That's my plan.
