Beaches can tour if things like Clue or The Bodyguard are touring. There are a lot of tickets sold to season subscribers who buy a whole package. Most people aren't reading up to see if something was a hit or not in New York.
I think something like Oh Mary! is more of an outlier, where in a few markets it was made an addition to the subscription package because those markets know that if it was included they'd be dealing with a lot of complaint emails & calls af
Curious if anyone went to Philadelphia to see the recent premiere of Jsmes Ijames' newest play "Wilderness Generation?"
It will have a second run in November at Washington DC's Studio Theatre while I am on the East Coast. I'm thinking of changing my plans to spend a few days of my trip in DC again this year because the Wash. National Opera announced last week that during the same week they will put on "Nixon in China" with Renée Flem
Are you saying it won't stay tight after awards season? Is it not doing good enough at the box office to extend past September? Looking at weekly grosses it is surprising that Rocky Horror cracked $1million selling less seats, while this is doing ok at 91% of capacity.

Thanks for posting that video this morning BrodyFosse.
Another Kander & Ebb show for Liza that I enjoy the cast album for is "The Act." I wonder if it could ever be done with someone else? I know from what I've read online about it that it didn't wholly work at the time as a show, even though it gave her another Tony.

I would have been in my early 20's when the tour came through from the last revival, but I didn't care back then.
