It isn't mentioned in this article, so I'll say it myself: WANTED costs $22 million, and WARRIORS is right around $35 million.

Last I heard, The Bedwetter had its finances lined up, but was waiting on a theater. I would expect that to transfer in before Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

I've heard various plans and intent to transfer from Black Swan, Iceboy, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, and 3 Summers of Lincoln (plus the perennial "we're still hoping" line from Little Dancer). But none of them seem to have any concrete plans or full financing yet."
MIDNIGHT isn’t likely to transfer without Ghee, who got the best reviews in the show and is currently booked on the OH MARY tour through May 2027.
THREE SUMMERS OF LINCOLN was aiming for this fall, but hit a financing wall

I've heard Black Swan is looking at a transfer but likely not this season. Carly Rae Jepsen's 10 Things I Hate About You is also coming in next year with an announcement in the near future, but I've heard it's aiming for early next season.

I thought Benjamin Button was nearing an announcement of a Broadway transfer?

It’s playing the Public in the fall. It would be kind of stupid to announce it for Broadway so soon since it would encourage people to wait and, god forbid it flops downtown, make a lot of people look foolish

If there was gonna be one, it'll be WILD ROSE, debuting at NYTW this fall.
I also am really rooting for HUZZAH, as outside of PADDINGTON, everything is so serious this season (understandably, I suppose).
