So what's ahead for Broadway? 27 shows have been announced for the coming season with what seem to be firm opening dates…which is a lot when you consider that in the season that just ended, there were 37 openings in total.
How many more than 27 there will be will depend to some extent, of course, on how well those 27 shows and the holdovers fare. Shows can't open unless they have a theater and you don't get a theater until something else closes. You may recall when Jerry Lewis was making those announcements of his Nutty Professor musical opening on Broadway, no one took them seriously because it never had a theater booked and when he gave dates, they never seemed to coincide with when some theater might be available. Almost needless to say, The Nutty Professor musical is not among the 27 that look firm for this season. (Even Jerry seems to have given up on that ever happening.)
The list of 27 includes a number of revivals including She Loves Me, Noises Off, The Color Purple, Falsettos, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and, of course, the biennial revival of Fiddler on the Roof. I'm confused because I thought revivals of Fiddler were supposed to alternate with revivals of Gypsy. There are also a lot of other revivals and some new shows that sound…well, interesting. Here's an article that gives the whole list.
