  • 2008 Theatre Season List
    Adolpho Blaire’s 2018 Theatre Season List All Seasons announced as of January 31st, 2018 www.justdolphy.com 1 Welcome to this year’s THEATRE SEASON LIST - a special guide to the seasons and trends of the 2018 theatre season among regional and stock theatres throughout the United States. This list is a labor of love of mine and this also marks the 16th year since I began putting it together. As far as I know the information is correct but there have been mistakes in the past so always check with the theatre’s website as well as the AEA website, particularly for the union contract as these change from time to time. If you happen to find outdated or incorrect information, please contact me at [email protected] THE SEASON This season overwhelmingly finds it’s most popular title in Mamma Mia! with a whopping 33 showings. For plays, both A Raisin in the Sun and Noises Off have proved to be trendy with 8 theatres putting each title in their seasons. Even with a healthy amount of runs in 2017, newer titles like Million Dollar Quartet, Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and The 39 Steps have continued to find interest around the country. First-run titles finding significant showings include Fun Home, Murder for Two, A Doll’s House Part 2, Shakespeare in Love, Skeleton Crew, Constellations, Heisenberg and The Wolves, – many of which should continue into 2019 seasons. And many beloved classics are making popular comebacks this season like Oklahoma! (celebrating its 75 anniversary), Singin’ in the Rain (also popular in 2017) as well as The Pirates of Penzance (which has rounded out the last 4 years as a popular title).
