As 2016 comes to a close, we remember some of our favorite Broadway shows that didn't make it to the new year. However, the future looks bright for Broadway going into 2017. Here's a look at five of the most anticipated Broadway shows of 2017.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Following a successful run in London's West End, this stage adaptation of the classic novel and film makes its Broadway debut this year. The tale tells the story of a poor boy and his grandfather who win a golden ticket into a famous chocolate factory run by the eccentric Willy Wonka. Tony-winning fan favorite Christian Borle will play Wonka in this anticipated run opening in March 2017 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre.

Amelie

Based on the critically acclaimed 2001 film about an introverted Parisian waitress who sets out to change the lives of those around her, this musical had a successful run at Berkeley Rep in August 2015. Fresh out of Hamilton, Tony-nominated Phillipa Soo portrays the titular role in this magical production set to open at the Walter Kerr theatre in spring 2017.

Miss Saigon

This classic musical based on the opera Madame Butterfly set to the backdrop of the Vietnam War is making a comeback. This revival follows the show's original production, which closed on Broadway in 2001 after a successful 10-year run. Written by Les Miserables dream team Claude-Michel Schonberg and Alain Boublil, this production opens at a theatre TBD in spring 2017.

Hello, Dolly!

Bette Midler is next to take on this true classic role, originally played by Barbra Streisand on the silver screen and Carol Channing on stage. This 1964 show about a matchmaker from Yonkers who travels to the city to make some matches, and maybe find one for herself, opens April 2017 at the Shubert Theatre.

Anastasia

Following a successful run at the Hartford Stage in spring 2016, this musical brings the 1997 animated film of the same name to life. Like the movie, the musical follows the story of Anya, a young orphan girl who is determined to find out any information about her family, who she does not know were Russian royalty. This show opens April 2017 at the Broadhurst Theatre.
