Successful New York revivals of “The King and I” and “Into the Woods,” the Broadway hit “Finding Neverland” and the pre-Broadway premiere of a musical version of “Roman Holiday” — using songs by Cole Porter — fill out the 2016-17 SHN season announced Wednesday, March 23, by Chief Executive Officer Greg Holland.

As previously reported, the smash hit musical “Hamilton” and the multiple-Tony Award-winning play “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” anchor the six-show subscription season.

It looks like the most exciting season SHN has presented in a while. It certainly stands out compared with the 2015-16 lineup, which has had little to offer besides the sublime “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder” (the underwhelming “If/Then” and “Dirty Dancing” and returns of “Cabaret,” “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical” and “Hedwig and the Angry Inch”).

Even the revivals are new. The version of “The King and I” that opens the season in November is the still-running Lincoln Center Theatre production, directed by Bartlett Sher, who previously staged a reinvigorated “South Pacific.” Besides its great Rodgers and Hammerstein score (“Getting to Know You,” “Shall We Dance,” “Hello Young Lovers”), it garnered enthusiastic reviews and four 2015 Tonys, including best revival of a musical.

And as often as “Into the Woods” — another masterwork from Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine — is revived by local companies, few of us have seen it as transformed by the inventive Fiasco Theater for 10 actors and one piano. The highly imaginative off-Broadway staging hits the Golden Gate in March 2017, around the same time Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Hamilton” juggernaut arrives at the Orpheum Theatre. (Those who can’t wait that long for some Fiasco theatrical ingenuity may want to check out its “Cymbeline,” coming to NapaShakes on April 22 and 23.)

“Finding Neverland” — the long-running musical by James Graham (book) with music and lyrics by Gary Barlow and Eliot Kennedy — opens in January at the Orpheum. Adapted from the 2002 movie starring Johnny Depp, it’s the story of how J.M. Barrie created Peter Pan, and the little boys who inspired him.

“Roman Holiday — The Cole Porter Musical,” coming to the Golden Gate in May 2017, is the big unknown. Adapted from the classic Audrey Hepburn-Gregory Peck movie, it’s been in development since at least 2001, when author Paul Blake unveiled his first version in St. Louis. His much-revised 2012 take created enough of a sensation that a Broadway run was widely reported as imminent. Now, rewritten by Kathy Speer and Terry Grossman, it seems to be actually headed there. We shall see.
