An Exciting New Season Begins!

I hope you all had a wonderful summer. I escaped to Maine and I’m afraid summer-stock ate up all of my free time, so that (and the lack of any real exciting Broadway news) has keep the blog pretty quiet this summer. But never-fear, I’m back again and vow to maintain a more consistent posting schedule this Broadway season.

We’ve got some gems opening in the next year, lots of movie adaptations, Off-Broadway transfers and a couple infamous big-spenders who’ll soon be making splashes. Here’s the line-up:

• Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson – October 13
• The Scottsboro Boys – October 31
• Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown – November 4
• The Pee-Wee Herman Show – November 11
• Elf – November 14
• Zorba – Fall 2011
• Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark – Dec 21
• How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying – March 27
• The Book of Mormon – March 2011
• Priscilla, Queen of the Desert – March 2011
• Anything Goes – April 7
• Wonderland – April 17
• Phantom: Love Never Dies – April 2011
• Sister Act – April 2011
• Catch Me If You Can – Spring 2011
• Unchain My Heart – Spring 2011

I’ll be tweeting live from Broadway on Broadway, where a couple new shows will be performing for the first time alongside many of the long-running hits.

There’s a lot of star power behind a lot of these shows, but unlike last season, it appears (for the most part) to be homegrown Broadway talent, rather than Hollywood ringers – exciting news for those who got up-in-arms around Tony Award time last year.

What are you most excited about in this upcoming season?

I’ll be back next week with an update about cast changes and announcements.
