Here's the complete list of Broadway plays and musicals opening in spring

Get ready, theater fans, because spring is just around the corner — and Broadway is bursting with new musicals, plays and revivals.

While the fall only had eight shows opening on the Great Bright Way, there are 19 productions scheduled to open between now and April 25, the cut-off to be eligible for this year's Tony Awards.

Among the new musicals are shows based on "The Notebook," "Water For Elephants," "The Outsiders" and "The Great Gatsby." There's also "Hell's Kitchen," featuring the music of Alicia Keys, and "The Heart of Rock and Roll," featuring the songs of Huey Lewis and The News.

If that's not enough, there are also new looks at "The Who's Tommy," "Cabaret" and "The Wiz. Not to mention exciting new plays such as "Patriots," about a billionaire Russian kingmaker; "Mother Play," Paula Vogel's new work "about the hold our family has over us"; and "Mary Jane," featuring Rachel McAdams as a single mother.

You want more stars? Eddie Redmayne, Sarah Paulson, Steve Carell, Nichelle Lewis, Jeremy Strong, Michael Imperioli, Jessica Lange, Jim Parsons and Wayne Brady all take the stage.

It's going to be a great season, we think. Here's a look at all the shows scheduled. Keep in mind dates, and ticket prices, are subject to change.
