You'd think that Mirvish and Disney would like y'know, communicate about that sort of thing. Unless they decided that they wanted to go with that version for the marquee.
So it looks like this is tour's contract is the lowest SETA tier ($539/wk minimum plus extra when the show recoups). As others have said it looks like a killer schedule. I've seen Lauren Blackman (Irene) before and she's very talented, so I'm inclined to see this tour if it's near me.
Although I don't have an answer, I'd also just like to throw in another configuration from a production that I just saw- the Bird Woman was in the ensemble for the rest of the show while Mrs. Corry played Miss Andrews.
Diva, it was supposed to be a copro with the Fulton Theatre, but the two split up shortly before auditions were held. I don't think the casting of Clay was the reason (that happened well after they made the decision to do the productions on their own).
^^ oh yes, I heard the two theaters had quite the falling out over what was initially going to be a coproduction. Also, Ogunquit posted cast party photos on their facebook and Aiken was nowhere to be found.
