“I’M CRYING,” posted more than one person on Instagram when Broadway in Boston announced its 2016-2017 lineup—and that was after only one of nine shows was revealed (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time).

Plenty more gleeful gasps followed Monday night at the Boston Opera House as the full season lineup was announced, with shows ranging from childhood favorites like The King and I to a number of performances involving magic: the classic Wicked, actual magic show The Illusionists, and Finding Neverland, which was developed in Cambridge by Diane Paulus at the A.R.T.
But the best were saved for last: Something Rotten! will show in Boston next January, and in the 2017-2018 season, Hamilton will make its way to the Hub.
