Lysistrata Jones
THIS is what we get to look forward to? Lord...8 revivals and these 3 NEW musicals?

Posted: 7/13/11 at 6:17pmI'm excited for Rebecca and Bonnie and Clyde. From what I have heard of Bonnie and Clyde, it is not typical Wildhorn. It has some great tunes.

Posted: 7/13/11 at 6:27pmWhat about BEAUTY with music by Regina Spektor? I know that was still aiming for this season a few months ago, but maybe things have changed.

Am I really the only one who's super excited for both Rebecca and Bonnie & Clyde?
Besides that, if there's really only 11 shows confirmed for next year, I think it's safe to say a few theaters haven't announced their plans.

Wasn't Bonnie and Clyde a musical in France?
(with Cécilia Cara from Roméo & Juliette: De la haine à l'amour playing Bonnie?)

Posted: 7/13/11 at 7:49pmI am also extremely excited for this season, two of my favourites (and Rebecca out-edges Frank Wildhorn for me for once).

I have a feeling that the creative team behind Once still want to try and transfer the show to Broadway this season. Yes, they're doing the Off-Broadway production first, but the goal was always Broadway.
Also, isn't there a good chance we're getting Ghost here late in the season?

Posted: 7/13/11 at 8:25pmI can't imagine Ghost opening till next season, but I could be completely off by that. Usually there's more than an under one year break before a West End show gets a Broadway production or vice versa.

Posted: 7/13/11 at 8:31pmAdam, Idefinitely see a future for Tales of the City and would love if it ended up on Broadway, but I don't think that will happen in the next year--I see at least one more production/revision before then (although I thought, Act I at least, it really was almost there). Also there's gossip about it maybe playing London first, which might seem odd for such an American-centric musical, but keep in mind the books are very popular in the UK (and the first miniseries was a UK--Channel 4 I believe--production that PBS later bought). I know people on here are mixed on the show, but relistening to it (many times now) i hope at least the score gets recorded.

Posted: 7/13/11 at 8:38pmWhateer happened to Heathers the Musical? (Although it sounds more offBroadway than on to me...) And I suppose even depending on reviews Bring It On won't make it this season...

massofmen-
Have you seen Lysistrata Jones? Because it was pretty damn fabulous when I saw it's out-of-town in Dallas.
