The 2018-2019 Broadway Season - Confirmed Productions — Page 6

Tony Yazbeck and Laura Osnes are doing four nights together at 54 Below beginning on October 2nd. The program is supposed to be weighted towards Gershwin.

If there has been no announcement on Crazy for You before their performance, we will corner them and not let them leave 'til they spill their guts.

Maybe CRAZY FOR YOU was the backup show for the Belasco? If it opens in early February, they could start rehearsal around Thanksgiving. If they're trying to open it before Christmas (to give Stroman a break before Little Dancer), they'd probably have to start rehearsals about 6 weeks from now -- which would be an insanely quick sales period for a show that's not a guaranteed hit.

Is it wishful thinking to think that it could still make it this season?

I've always wondered what happened to this musical! I saw video of it a few years ago and was interested because of the subject matter and Rebecca Luker's involvement. Is there a thread on this board I can bump to ask about it?



As far as this season goes, out of all these "screen to stage" adaptations Beetlejuice seems like the most likely to be a genuinely good musical, and I'm really excited to see costumes by William Ivey Long!

Hmm, not sure how I feel about the new title. I don't think many people know that the dancer's name was Marie, which is probably a big part of the story itself of course. I hope whatever issues it has get worked out during this production, because it would be nice to see a new musical like this on the boards maybe next season!

Still possible to arrive this season: Dreamgirls, Jagged Little Pill, Hadestown, The Secret Garden, Crazy For You, Moulin Rouge(though 2019-20 season seems likely)."

Girl from the North Country's spring transfer to the Walter Kerr is rumored, and, in my opinion, is likely.

List updated with King Lear's theater announcement.

List updated with All My Sons announcement.

List updated with Mike Birbiglia's The New One announcement.

I'm convinced! I've moved it down to Other

I did not want to start a new thread with my question, so I felt this was a good spot to put it.

I admit that I prefer musicals to plays, but this season is a perfect opportunity to get exposed to more theatre and plays. What plays would you guys recommend to a "play newbie".

To give some background, I have seen plays before, and to name a few I've seen A Dolls house, Pt. 2, The Play That Goes Wrong, , and The Humans. I enjoyed them all. I also plan on seeing To Kill A Mockingbird and Ink.

Do you guys have any recommendations? Thanks!

It will be considered as a revival, because the show previously had a production in New York, but never played Broadway (this is true of any "revival" production that never made it to Broadway in its original iteration, i.e. Violet, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, and all of Lonergan's plays, surprisingly!)

(That's how I've been able to figure it out over the years! )
