The shows at the highest tiers are either small productions or enormous box office hits so they can afford both the highest salaries and the additional personnel expenses of touring.

This honestly feels like an ideal show for Encores, where they can both stack the cast with larger theater names they likely couldn't for a full run and also see what the broad appeal is like.

Full cast announced via IG.

If the production moves forward, I have to imagine it'll be with West End/Broadway names.

ACL2006 said: "And the show will need a name to sell."On the road? Not at all. It's an acclaimed production with a beloved songbook. Touring audiences will eat it up.

The clips I've seen of other people all seemed to be an Audrey that's more bogged down by her trauma than the original.I try not to be that person who's like "the original is always the best!!" but Ellen Greene is just as important to Audrey's creation as Ashman & Menken.

What a surprise: CoffeeBreak starting rumors about an Arden production. Again.

suicidalmickeymouse said: "It’s opening next month in the space formerly known as the McKittrick, yes?"Yes, the venue is now called the Culture Club. The Heated Rivalry musical is also there.

How was a production like this able to get Hillary Clinton to attend…?

I missed it at the Lortel but am glad to have the opportunity to see it scaled up with this incredibly stacked cast. Hope it catches on!
