I think Back to the Future will massively flop. I think NYCers are pretty savvy when it comes to musicals, and this might have some cool tech elements but the score is awful and it’s essentially just the movie. But who knows. Cats ran for how long?

I'm curious what age group they are trying to target for this. I might be in the minority as I have never seen any of the films but the musical really isn't on my radar.

Mary Martin to Ezio Pinza opening night of Fanny.
for me, it’s the inevitable broadway transfer of the notebook.

There are rumors of the West End Cabaret coming with Eddie & Jessie. Is there anything new on the Secret Garden? Also, Back to The Future will not Flop one bit. It probably will be mixed received, at least.
The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince
I don’t know if you can call this list biggest anticipated show cause 2 of these London transfer are just rumored and the other one is not even rumored to transfer at all but I’m really hoping these three West End shows would grace the 23-24 Broadway season:
1. Freknall’s immersive Cabaret
2. Paul Mescal in A Streetcar Named Desire
3. My Neighbor Totoro
also I’m excited about the reopening of The Palace theatre.

Also hoping for the rumored remount of Chess"
As someone who paid $480 for a 3rd row first preview orchestra ticket, it better be the best show of the year! Lol... commercially it seems guaranteed at this point given how many of the shows are already sold out in the first two months.
whatever2 said: "Markie: no Tammy Faye on your list?"
That one also looks fabulous. I wonder who can play Tammy Faye on broadway? I know Katie Brayben won the Olivier but wouldn’t it be interesting to have it recasted here?

Recast a two time Olivier winner with universal acclaim for the role? Why bother.

We already know we're getting:
Once Upon a One More Time
Back to the Future
Here Lies Love
Merrily We Roll Along
The Wiz
Then I'd put all of the following on transfer/announcement watch:
Cabaret
Suffs
The Notebook
Lempicka
Evita
Joseph
Pal Joey
Spiderwoman
Tammy Faye
Secret Garden
Chess
I'm sure there are some I'm forgetting too.
It's gonna be wild."
Forgetting GREY HOUSE - I think this could be a pretty decent dark horse, if it does horror well there's a pretty huge gap in Broadway for this niche and it could pretty readily become a mainstay like WOMAN IN BLACK was.
