The 2018-2019 Broadway Season - Confirmed Productions — Page 4

It plays The Kennedy Center, The Ahmonson in LA and a venue in Toronto this summer/fall. I'm guessing that they're hoping for a ton of great reviews and positive word of mouth to create a big advance sale once they announce a NY opening.

I also respect this path as it will really give the creatives a great opportunity to polish the show as much as possible before it opens on Broadway. DEH took a similar path, playing The Kennedy Center and off-Broadway before transferring.

"

DEH played Arena Stage, not the Kennedy Center. A number of shows like Sideshow, Bright Star and Gigi were at the KC before Broadway; but not Dear Evan Hansen.

But on that note Dave the Musical WILL be at Arena Stage this summer with its eye on a Broadway transfer. Additionally looking to make a potential transfer is Beetlejuice which has its initial run scheduled in DC at the National Theatre this fall."

Actually no. DEH played Arena Stage in DC and THEN the Atlantic.

Right, I confused it with TBV there. But the point was that it first played in DC, then off-Broadway and then transferred to Broadway. Sorry for the confusion

List updated with Glenda Jackson's King Lear announcement!

Same.

Did we ever hear an update about Secret Garden?

It's been over a month since we've gotten news of any show coming in this season. Spring 2019 is looking rather bleak at the moment.

Any word on Tootsie, Moulin Rouge!, Hadestown, Ain't Too Proud, Tina: The Musical, Girl from the North Country, Beetlejuice, Jagged Little Pill, Dreamgirls, The Secret Garden, or Crazy for You? Anything possibly coming in outside of those?

Dreamgirls just held some auditions, so I'd say it's extremely likely for the spring.

No one actually knows anything about Moulin Rogue! (I've only seen guesses on this board), but I'd say it could go either way (2018-2019 or 2019-2020).

A lot of shows just need to see how their try-outs go/are waiting for shows from past seasons to die in order to get a theater.

Out of curiosity, how far in advance do most shows announce a transfer?

Hoping for confirmation of the "Network" transfer with details.

Depending on how the London run goes, HADESTOWN might a wait a season. How long is that run?

I just want to point out how many theaters are currently vacant for Spring 2019: Booth, Cort, Golden, Imperial, Lyceum, Marquis, Walter Kerr, and Winter Garden (eight total).

And very possibly the Al Hirschfeld, Belasco, Circle in the Square, Hudson, Lunt-Fontanne, and the Sondheim (another six).

Lots of real estate shifting these days.
