At last, we're "Popular."

Fourteen months from  now, Wicked will be "Defying Gravity" and then landing in Spokane. Those two weeks in May 2011, along with a single night next winter that marks the arrival of Spring Awakening, are the highlights of the Best of Broadway Spokane season announced yesterday.  Here's the line-up:

Oct. 6-9, 2010:  South Pacific

Oct. 18:  Liza Minnelli

Oct. 27:  The Capitol Steps

Nov. 5:  Stomp

Dec. 1:  Spring Awakening

Feb. 10-13, 2011:  Legally Blonde: The Musical

March 24-27, 2011:  9 to 5: The Musical

April 22-23, 2011:  Cats

May 15-29, 2011:  Wicked

Ten-to-1: That's the ratio of mainstream thinking to nonconformity here, apparently (given the number of performance days given over to the February-March-April shows to that solitary day in December).

And we're pretty sure they got the date and venue wrong for Liza Minnelli, because a couple of weeks from now at the Arena is that "Walking With Dinosaurs" thing.
