Thanks all! Reached out to MTI to inquire and while they couldn't really confirm anything for me the information they did provide seems to insinuate that no one (in the US outside of high schools seemingly) is getting it until this current tour is done.

I was wondering if anyone knows anything regarding the current status of the rights for Hairspray?

I know of a couple local non-professional theatres that have not yet heard back regarding rather old applications submitted, and looking at MTI's site it seems all upcoming productions are at either high schools or outside of the U.S.

Does anyone know if the rights are currently unavailable for others due to the tour (or for another reason)?

Perfect - thank you so much, I really appreciate it! :) 

 

Can anyone tell me if there are additional fees on the $39 rush tickets? (or is the final purchase total per ticket $39?) 

*edited - never mind, got the info I needed! :)

I'm no fan of Lea by any stretch of the imagination, so I hope she stays far away. She has a good voice, but IMO her acting isn't all that wonderful and her attitude and try-hard ways take away from what she could be.

gah - double post. apologies. 

According to their site, there will be a next year, again in the winter. http://www.mischiefmanagement.com/

oops. double post. 

Wow. Initially I was disappointed I wouldn't be able to make this (nor, honestly, could I afford it) but it sounds like all-in-all it was a blessing in disguise. 

I also saw the show in Boston and it was wonderful. Very moving, I think for women in particular it will strike a chord. You've also got fans of the movie, and Sara Bareilles (not to mention some Orange Is The New Black fans that will go for Kimiko), plus it seems to be the most anticipated show coming this season and with Hamilton being impossible to go to, I think a lot of people are going to run to this as their next-best-thing. 

The fact that after this line, Stritch goes into talking about costumes, sets, props, makeup, reminiscing about her work behind the scenes and an opening number along the same lines, seems clearly indicative of her intention in stairs v. stares. If it were the latter, there'd be some mention of it in the number and anecdotes it introduces, no?
