Finally, Topol will appear in Fiddler on the Roof at the Canon Theatre, December 8 – January 10. Dates and theaters for other productions in the subscription season, such as Little House on the Prairie and Young Frankenstein, will be announced at a later date.

Four off-subscription series shows have also been announced. Stomp (October 20-25), Rent: The Broadway Tour (January 19-24), featuring original cast members Adam Pascal, Anthony Rapp and Gwen Stewart, Grease with American Idol Taylor Hicks (April 7-18) and Mamma Mia! (April 27 – June 27).
