Though Broadway theatre is a year-round entertainment medium, most new productions open in the spring and fall. This autumn is no exception, with a host of plays and musicals set to open in the next few months. And if you want to see stars, read on—the upcoming slate of Broadway shows in New York features a particularly celebrity-filled roster of Broadway and Hollywood favorites. Here are some of the highlights.
The Plays
Julianne Moore makes her Broadway debut as a war correspondent tuned academic in the world premiere of The Vertical Hour by David Hare (The Judas Kiss, Stuff Happens).
Nathan Lane stars in Butley, Simon Gray's dark comedy about a literature professor whose world is crumbling around him.
A new Tom Stoppard play is always an event, and this season there are three reasons to celebrate: Stoppard's The Coast of Utopia is an epic trilogy set among writers and thinkers in 19th-century Russia. The Lincon Center Theater production features a line-up of heavy hitters including Billy Crudup, Richard Easton, Josh Hamilton, David Harbour, Ethan Hawke and Brían F. O'Byrne.
Julie White stars as a high-powered Hollywood agent in Douglas Carter Beane's Off Broadway hit from last season, The Little Dog Laughed, which moves uptown to the Cort Theatre.
Matthew Arkin, Mark Linn-Baker, and Michele Pawk appear in Losing Louie, Simon Mendes
da Costa's comedy from London about multiple generations of the same family.
Perhaps the most unusual of this fall's non-musical productions is Jay Johnson: The Two and Only! This one-man show stars Jay Johnson, a ventriloquist and comedian, along with a supporting cast of his favorite dummies.
The Musicals
Modern-dance maven Twyla Tharp hit big a few seasons back with Movin' Out, a rock ballet based on the music of Billy Joel. This fall she returns with The Times They Are A-Changin', which matches her choreography to the songs of Bob Dylan.
Last spring's much-heralded Off Broadway hit Grey Gardens was based on a 1975 documentary film about Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis's deliciously eccentric aunt and cousin. It arrives on Broadway with its star cast of Christine Ebersole and Mary-Louise Wilson intact.
Also from Off Broadway comes the rock musical Spring Awakening, based on Franz Wedekind's 19th-century German drama about teenagers grappling with their emerging sexuality, with music by Duncan Sheik. Michael Mayer directs with choreography by Bill T. Jones.
Legendary Broadway producer Cameron Mackintosh (The Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon) teams with Disney to bring Mary Poppins to Broadway. This adaptation of the beloved P. L. Travers novel incorporates the songs from the famous film version of the story.
Mackintosh is also reviving Les Misérables, his long-running mega-hit that ran on Broadway for a decade and a half. The new Les Miz cast features Alexander Gemignani (Jean Valjean), Norm Lewis (Javert) and Daphne Rubin-Vega (Fantine).
Another long-running favorite returns to Great White Way this fall. Charlotte d'Amboise and Michael Berresse lead the cast of A Chorus Line, the first Broadway revival of a show that spotlights the hardworking “gypsies,” the anonymous dancers who perform in the chorus of Broadway musicals.
John Doyle, who staged the memorable 2005 revival of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd in which the actors doubled as the orchestra, works his magic again this season with Company. This Sondheim/Furth musical portrays Bobby (Raúl Esparza), a single, 30-something bachelor, and his married friends. Barbara Walsh also stars.
High Fidelity, a new musical version of the Nick Hornby novel and the 2000 film of the same title, depicts a record store owner and compulsive list-maker as he reviews his recent romantic entanglements.
Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas: The Musical! opens for a limited run just in time for the holidays.

oN THE ROAD
Touring Broadway plays and musicals go out “on the road” to visit more than 240 North American cities each year. Some tour on their way to New York; others step out across the continent after they have premiered on Broadway; and some are produced especially for the road. Here are some of the touring productions that will debut this fall.
Norbert Leo Butz reprises his 2005 Tony Award®-winning performance in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, based on the film comedy of the same title. This musical depicts the madcap adventures of a pair of con men who ply their trade among society women on the French Riviera.
A pair of television and Broadway veterans -- Tom Bosley (“Happy Days”) and Michael Learned (Olivia in “The Waltons”) -- star in On Golden Pond, Ernest Thompson's play about an elderly couple who live on a lake in New Hampshire.
A new production of the long-running musical Beauty and the Beast may be the perfect show for parents who want to introduce the whole family to Broadway.
“Dynasty” rivals Joan Collins and Linda Evans reunite on stage in Legends, a comedy about a pair of feuding actresses who are tricked into appearing together in a play.
Cherry Jones won a 2005 Tony Award for her performance as a strong-minded woman faced with a difficult decision in Doubt, the John Patrick Shanley drama set against the backdrop of a Bronx Catholic school in 1964. She heads the cast of the play's new national tour.
Stephen Schwartz is best known on Broadway as the composer and lyricist of the current mega-hit Wicked, but three decades ago he wrote the score for the 1972 Tony-winning musical Pippin, touring this fall in an all-new production.
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Broadway's sleeper hit musical from 2005, spotlights a bunch of young spellers (played by adults) who learn what it takes to be a winner.
Altar Boyz, a rock musical comedy that has become an Off Broadway hit, is a satirical look at a boy band devoted to spreading the Good News.
Other new tours include The Pirate Queen, the latest Broadway-bound offering from the team who wrote Les Misérables; the classic Broadway musical Sweet Charity, starring Molly Ringwald; All Shook Up, featuring the songs of Elvis Presley; and comedy and song via The Rat Pack: Live from Las Vegas. Richard Thomas stars in the jury-room drama Twelve Angry Men, and a mother and daughter visit Italy in the musical The Light in the Piazza.
