Maniacal has been pulled from Crown's rep. A large portion of the show will be Dreams.

SPIRIT OF ATLANTA - "Sin City"
Music of Frank Loesser, Lalo Schifrin, John Mackey, Stefani (Lady Gaga) Germanotta, and John Powell.

"Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin has somehow been wedged into Section V of the Blue Devils' show.

It's going to be interesting to see how the Blue Devils will manage to incorporate 12 different songs into one show. That is, if they keep it at 12. 13, anyone?
