By @jammminjessie photo: getty this week has been amazing with the announcement of major festivals coming back this fall (firefly, bonnaroo), along with some philly area shows being announced for the fall too. on top of that it was announed that the kimmel center will return this fall with broadway shows! The 2021-2022 Broadway season will start with “Hamilton,” which will run from Oct. 20 through Nov. 28 at the Academy of Music. That will be followed by 12 more touring Broadway shows through the end of next summer, 2022, at the Academy, the Merriam Theater, and the Forrest Theatre. Typically, nationally touring Broadway shows plan their itineraries 18 months to two years in advance. Several of the shows booked through the Kimmel had been originally scheduled for the 2020-2021 season but were abruptly canceled due to the pandemic.
