One show’s closing, whether planned or premature, ushers in an opening night for a new production. With a limited amount of available theatres, all eyes are on several Broadway-bound shows circling The Great White Way.

Several new plays and musicals are being groomed to bow on Broadway during the 2016-2017 season. We take a look at a handful of shows slated to arrive this season and the Broadway theatres they could call home.

(Note that production schedules often change and shift due to various circumstances. The following is based on the most-recent reports and production timelines.)

SHOWS SLATED TO ARRIVE THIS FALL:

Dear Evan Hansen
Having recently concluded its sold-out run at Second Stage Theatre Off-Broadway, the new musical features a score by the Tony and Emmy-nominated songwriting team of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (Dogfight, A Christmas Story) and a book by Steven Levenson (Masters of Sex). Pitch Perfect actor Ben Platt earned accolades for his performance as an anxiety-ridden high schooler who finds himself caught up in a lie that sends shockwaves through his community both online and in real life. Michael Greif (Rent, Next to Normal) directs the musical that will begin performances on Broadway in November at a Shubert Organization theatre-to-be-announced.

The Front Page
Nathan Lane, John Slattery, John Goodman, Jefferson Mays, Rosemary Harris and Sherie Rene Scott are slated to star in a revival of the 1928 comedy The Front Page, about tough reporters trying to beat each other for the big scoop. Directed by Jack O’Brien, previews are scheduled to begin September 20 at a theatre-to-be-announced.

A Bronx Tale
Inspired by Chazz Palminteri’s own life story, and the original solo play he created, the new musical had its premiere at New Jersey’s Paper Mill Playhouse in February. It features a book by Palminteri, music by Alan Menken and book and lyrics by Glenn Slater. The stage production is co-directed by two-time Oscar winner Robert De Niro and four-time Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks, with choreography by Tony Award nominee Sergio Trujillo. According to a recent Equity casting notice, rehearsals will begin in September/October toward a late fall Broadway opening. Tommy Mottola and the Dodgers with Tribeca Productions will produce the Broadway run.

Singin’ in the Rain
Last fall producer Harvey Weinstein announced plans to bring the Théâtre du Châtelet production of the classic MGM film musical to Broadway in 2016. The Paris theatre is also where the Tony-winning musical An American in Paris had its pre-Broadway premiere. Dancing With the Stars favorite Derek Hough has been tapped to star as song-and-dance man Don Lockwood. Singin’ in the Rain is directed by Robert Carsen and features choreography by Stephen Mear and costumes by Tony winner Anthony Powell.

Gotta Dance
The new musical based on the acclaimed 2008 documentary of the same name about professional basketball’s first-ever, aged 60-and-older dance team premiered in Chicago last December. A cadre of songwriters contributed to the show, including composer Matthew Sklar (Elf), lyricist Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde) and late composer Marvin Hamlisch. The show’s book is by Chad Beguelin (Aladdin) and Tony Award winner Bob Martin (The Drowsy Chaperone). Among the show’s stars are Stefanie Powers, André De Shields, Georgia Engel and Lillias White. Jerry Mitchell directs and choreographs the production that has been announced for a fall 2016 Broadway arrival.

The Master Builder
Producer Scott Rudin is planning a Broadway transfer of the recent London revival of Ibsen’s classic starring Ralph Fiennes, Linda Emond and Sarah Snook. Under the direction of Matthew Warchus, the drama concluded its run at the Old Vic last winter and could arrive on Broadway this fall.

SHOWS SLATED FOR THE 2016-2017 SEASON:

Anastasia
One of this season’s most-anticipated new musicals is the stage adaptation of the 1997 animated musical Anastasia. Lyricist Lynn Ahrens and composer Stephen Flaherty, who were Oscar-nominated for their work on the film, reunite with playwright-librettist Terrence McNally for this all-new incarnation of the Russian legend that has been expanded and deepened for the stage. The trio won Tony Awards for their previous Broadway collaboration, Ragtime. Darko Tresnjak, the Tony-winning director of A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder (which also nabbed the 2014 Tony for Best Musical), is at the helm of Anastasia, which has announced Broadway plans for a Shubert theatre-to-be-announced following the June 19 conclusion of its world-premiere run at Hartford Stage. Stage Entertainment USA and Tom Kirdahy (It’s Only A Play, The Visit) are producing the production.

The Bandstand
The self-described “big-band musical” chronicles the story of a mismatched band of WWII veterans who join together to compete in a radio contest with dreams of stardom. The show has music by Cirque du Soleil’s Richard Oberacker and book and lyrics by Robert Taylor and Oberacker. The musical played a successful run at the Paper Mill Playhouse last fall. Laura Osnes and Corey Cott are slated to repeat their performances under the direction of Hamilton’s Andy Blankenbuehler, who will direct and choreograph. A target date during the 2016-2017 season has not been revealed.
