Natasha & Pierre is going into the Imperial. The Hudson theatre is a playhouse that is intended to house new British works and imports. I think Prince of Broadway or Smokey Joe's Cafe could play the Longacre. Singing in the Rain could play the Lunt-Fontanne, Palace, Marquis, or Broadway. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory could play the Lyric, Shubert, or Broadway. Like you have said yourself, it may be a bit early to tell. More theaters will become vacant and as they do, the producers will have more choices and we will have more options.

Fun Home has been on TDF a lot lately. It's recouped so it has some flexibility, but it's not doing well this winter with the Tony winner still in the show. I can't imagine it'll last through another winter after he leaves.

As for Color Purple, when Hudson leaves the show will drop quickly.

You also have a few others like Gotta Dance (and others that haven't been publicly announced that they are planning on coming) that are looking at next season. Even if King and I doesn't last, its a NFP house (and technically the Hayes is as well though 2ST has been renting it out) so it doesn't need to be on the list."



Any ideas for shows that have not been announced yet? I think we might need some inside info

AEA AGMA SM said: "In regards to the Palace, how soon can they be ready to do the raising and renovation? Is it something that can begin as soon as An American in Paris closes, or will they accept another tenant if the show closes before they are ready to begin that process (and risk that show becoming a hit that could potentially delay the entire project by years)?



In the most recent articles regarding the renovation/raising, they say that a timetable/how it will affect An American in Paris has not yet been announced. My guess is that they are still trying to figure out when/if they should boot An American in Paris to start the renovation. They can't wait forever. I'm going to try and get some more info/updates.

Oops, double post!

When The Humans closes its going dark for quiet a while for renovations before 2ST starts programming

Is The Humans actually a limited run? I haven't seen that announced anywhere.

Broadway kid 2 finally posted a message that has his own writing in it everyone

A British import of a play starring Mark Rylance is coming.

so is a revival of The Front Page.

isnt To Kill A Mockingbird also coming?

The Wiz is happening, too

Isn't Bandstand supposed to be coming in this season?

If you really are interested in knowing which shows have been announced for Broadway, and which shows actually have lead producers, and General Managers attached (i.e. the shows that are far enough in their development that they are actually raising money, hiring creative staff, scouting theaters, etc) you should follow Theatrical Index (http://theatricalindex.com). This is the industry tool for tracking productions.



A lot of shows 'announce' they are going to Broadway, but I'd say only about half of all the productions announced on the Index actually get there.

Cate Blanchett's play is coming to broadway this winter, as well
