The emphasis on this thread is FUN, no one can predict the future after all. Except mystic meg!!! But what can you see happening in 2018. Share your predictions here.
Hamilton will add another booking period.
kinky Boots finally walks out of the West End, as does Dreamgirls, as does Motown.
Unfortunately Thriller and the Woman in Black stay put.
Strictly Ballroom is a disaster and Tina Turner: The Musical isn’t simply th Best.
Great year for Broadway announcements, with Frozen, Come From Away, Waitress, The Humans and Dear Evan Hansen all making plans. Baz is on standby.
Chichester will shock everyone by doing 2 Musicals this year.

If any given the above comes true, I’ll be very pleased! (With the exception of Kinky).

Harry Potter extends at least twice - but the hype is no way near as big as it was two years ago.
Comedy about a Bank Robbery, Dreamgirls, and Kinky Boots all close.
Patti is projected over the speakers before every performance of Company threatening people not to dare use mobile phones.

The Donmar to announce a new all-female Shakespeare trilogy with Phyllida Lloyd directing again. Yep, I can see that for sure: As You Like It, Twelfth Night, The Comedy of Errors. Sorry I know we are meant to be amusing here, but this would be great. Like my old school plays..... |

We’ll discover who the cast of Chess is going to be? And then 1) we will understand the higher ticket prices 2) all agree that the higher ticket prices are totally unjustified. |

That 'inevitable' transfer of Hedwig is, in December, still yet to arrive.
