Hearing Casey Nicholaw is new director of Disney's 'Hercules' Mar 24

Trailer from the Hamburg production: https://youtu.be/_GBmHA1xzds?si=-vLRfYD3cVOE6ami
The set and puppet designs are much better than previous incarnations IMO. I really wish they hadn’t slowed the tempo for Zero to Hero this much, it sucks the energy out of one of the most exciting songs.

The director and musical team are all theatre/rock veterans who likely have been damaging their hearing for decades.
I would expect levels to balance out once the creatives ease off a bit.

Perhaps Mirvish is still deciding how long Six will reman open before closing to make space for Come From Away, which was already soft-announced for the Royal Alex starting September 2024.

COMPANY Revival On Tour - News & Discussion Thread Feb 4

this tour isn't running for a second year."
Thanks for the heads-up.
It’s such a bummer when shows launch a “North American” tour that never leaves the states.
Why not just call it a “National Tour” instead of teasing us Canadians?

Allie’s time will come eventually. I could see them slotting her in when one of the movies premiere so she and Ariana can appear in a little PR moment together. Anyone else from 13 available to make it a mini reunion?

This should have opened at a reasonably sized house 5 or 6 seasons ago, while the off-Broadway buzz was still hot.

Would a show like this require a larger insurance premium to account for all the circus risks?
Does anyone know if this was an issue for the last Pippin revival?

Here’s hoping they revist some design elements to bring some life, colour and texture into the look of the show…. Make it look a little less dusty.

It’s fairly typical for national tours to use the first day of rehearsal as a photo call to announce the complete cast the next day. I expect we’ll be hearing lots of casting news tomorrow.
