Not bad! I think I voted for a couple of these shows in my survey.
Right now my husband and I have season tickets in B7. My husband is definitely NOT a musical lover and it has kind of become a drag taking him along. I'm thinking about upgrading to a single seat in A if possible this year.

I made my first trip to The Muny this past summer to catch Into the Woods. I splurged on a great single seat and never looked back! I am going to try to make at least one show a summer if possible (I live 4.5 hours away). I am most intrigued by Young Frankenstein because I am a fan of the score, but haven't seen it live and I think with their venue it could have an amazing set. Lets hope they make more great casting choices in 2016!

Aida is the only I'm excited for. That score is amazing!

Now that I think about it, It wouldn't surprise me if they snatched up Beth Leavel to play Frau Blucher again considering she has a strong relationship with The Muny.

Completely wishful thinking, but what if they get Heather to reprise her role as Aida.

I was wondering if that might be a possibility when I saw it listed.

I understand fiddler has been releasing the rights to their show for forever, but wouldn't you think they would halt any major productions of it in favor of the Broadway production?

I wouldn't say it's out of the question for them to get Heather Headley back for Aida, seeing as how she just did Into the Woods this past summer.

This is an incredible season. I imagine 42nd Street would be incredible on that stage. Same with Mamma Mia.

Is this the first regional production of Mamma Mia in the world? I wonder what a Mamma Mia without late '90s/early '00s costumes will look like!

I never thought of that, but I guess it's true! They might keep the same style since that's what people associate the show with.

Their Mamma Mia logo looks very 70s. I doubt their costume designer is clever enough to design the costumes accordingly so I'll just assume it's their graphic designers nod to ABBA in the 70s.

One could check the precise dyes on the MTI website, but Mamma Mia is also on the slate for Maine State Music Theatre and Music Theatre Wichita next summer...
