Curious what people see as upcoming Broadway trends. It really feels that this season seems to be a ton of tours or limited run musicals or shows. Very limited for "spectacles " and the "celebrities" seem to be very limited. Do we think that this is a one off season or should we become accustom to this? 

Maybe its just coming off seasons with A-listers and large musicals I became used to it. Curious peoples thoughts.

Personally I would love to see more A-lister "events", and lavish productions.

• 10-12 week star vehicles with at least 2-3 Hollywood names in the cast (mostly play revivals) 
• Single-set shows
• Chamber musicals (<10 people in the onstage cast)
• One-acts, especially plays
• National tour “stops” on Broadway
• Concert residencies 
• Much, much more screens and projections serving as sets

Next season will be packed with many new musicals. I think the star driven plays aren’t going anywhere, it’s good for both parties.
