Taboo is the tongue? Maybe?
Titanic is almost definitely the sky with stars.
No clue about the music note.

The tongue is giving Taboo or Hedwig... the stars Titanic or A Little Night Music... And I bet the last one is City of Angels with no context but that single music note. lol.

Could the single music note be BABES IN ARMS? ("Johnny One Note" ) Encores did it in the 90s, but Doug Carter Beane did a revisal of it at a summer stock theatre in 2021. Great score that I wouldn't mind hearing live.
Mary-Mitchell Campbell told the NYT she wants to do CITY OF ANGELS and the production of LOVE LIFE that was cancelled due to the pandemic.
Could that production of WHOREHOUSE that Jeffrey Richards has been trying to get off the ground for years be the tongue?

Asking someone earlier this year, I was told “Love Life” is still something that will get done.
Posted: 5/30/23 at 11:44am
Fingers crossed for a Hedwig production! I will gladly get tickets for that!
Any clues on what their Fall Gala show will be?

With the blank in blank redacted post. I do wonder if little night music is one of the three. If this could potentially be Julie andrews in little night music ( finally)

Why on earth would Encores do HEDWIG just 10 years after a much-lauded Broadway revival and tour that ran a year and a half?? Let’s use our heads, please!
Posted: 5/30/23 at 12:05pm
Hedwig had a Bway production 10 years ago. Why would it need an Encores prod?
And I'll be shocked if it was Taboo. There's a ton of affection for that score among artists but I'd heard the rights weren't avail, a hard no. If so, I wonder who is involved that managed to sweet talk Boy George.

I don’t know any behind the scenes of TABOO, but to me there’s a logic behind doing it at Encores or someplace:
You go to Boy George & his management and say “hey, we know you didn’t love the way the Broadway production went down, let’s work with you to restore the show to something you approve, while also securing worldwide rights so the show can be licensed and produced.”
And licensing & a potential future life means money. And artists like money.

Could it be Rocky Horror Picture Show? I also feel like it’s not Taboo, but who knows.
Posted: 5/30/23 at 12:57pm
I’d love a good revival of ROCKY HORROR, but the thought of it in a venue as stately as City Centsr makes me giggle. Could be fun!

When was the last Broadway revival of PETER PAN? The starry sky might be that. That would be a ticket seller as a family friendly show.

That tongue reads more like the iconic Rolling Stones logo than anything else.

That was more first instinct as well

The first-class rights to the Styne/Charlap/Leigh/Comden/Green PAN are tied up. NETWORKS is producing a new tour that starts this coming December, directed by Lonny Price & book revised by Larissa FastHorse - and if that goes over well, it could come to Broadway.

like a rolling stone......................must be the Encores revival of GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY!!!!!!!

When would they announce the new season?
Posted: 5/30/23 at 8:34pm
The season will be announced next week. I can confirm they are doing A Little Night Music.

F&%K yes.
I wish Eartha Kitt was still alive to play Mme. A opposite Audra as Desiree. Phylicia Rashad and Audra instead?
Posted: 5/30/23 at 8:49pm
I immediately thought Rocky Horror with the tongue. Babes in Arms is a good guess for the one note. Long overdue for a good NY production of that.
Also, how was Hedwig TEN YEARS ago…!
Posted: 5/30/23 at 9:18pm
Sweet Jesus, please not my beloved Rocky Horror. Rocky in that space would be just awful.
Posted: 5/30/23 at 9:18pm
If it’s A Little Night Music I hope we get Sierra Boggess and Emily Skinner reprising their performances from Barrington Stage

Are they going to announce on Tuesday or Wednesday. Also, can you give any hints of their fall gala?
