The new season will begin Sept. 16 \u2026 with a To Be Announced title. According to Murray, there are contractual reasons why the name can\u2019t be revealed until the end of April. \u201cIt has incredible music, is about a rock icon, and you won\u2019t want to miss it,\u201d she says. (The Catalyst bets are on A Beautiful Noise, the Neil Diamond musical, although this is just conjecture on our part.)<\/p>\n
