Idinia IF/THEN --tour...

And, as for a tour of If/Then, "I'm not sure," she said. "We'll have to see. I want the best for If/Then. It's my baby. I'll always want to be a part of it, so if I can work it out, I will try."

Doubt it would succeed on tour.

It would succeed on tour with Idina Menzel.

I think it's probable IF/THEN will close with Menzel's contract end, which is like 3/30. Her first concert is in June or something. There's definitely a break somewhere in there.

The concert tour then is probably her "working break," and I hope it'll be fun for her kid since he's going to be traveling with her (wow), but that does make me wonder... Well, I don't know what a show tour schedule looks like, but if a touring production cuts into the school year, would she leave him at school in a stable setting or run around with a tutor? Given how much she's talks about her kid in interviews, I'm not sure she'd leave him in NYC while she theoretically tours, and running around for more than a year doesn't seem like a great thing for a kid either.

Okay, but then, if (she might) may be the wrong supposition, when a solid then (she will) might work out, only if possible, but then maybe (she could); but if never, well then probably no big loss. If I'm following this, then I'm likely worried it's all iffy. Will she stage door in Sheboygan?

This show will not tour. It's reviews were dismal and it won no awards. It has nothing to promote without Idina. Idina is HOT HOT HOT right now. I can't see her schlepping all over the country with this show. No way in hell. She's going to have amazing offers that don't involve an exhausting tour.

N2N won awards and Ripley touring with it made it marketable and then it only played a few dates. It wasnt a huge tour.

Even if it were to tour (which, I agree with Bettyboy is highly improbable) there's no way Menzel would be available until after her concert tour ends (which I think is in October sometime). Assuming If/Then runs until March when her contract ends, that gives her about two months to rehearse and put together this world tour. I also assume she'll want a small break before heading (first) to Asia and ultimately stateside.

Lol an If/Then tour. That's hilarious

"I want her to do another Broadway Show!"

Me too! I heard from someone that she was a part of a reading for "Loman Family Picnic" a few months ago. The prospect of her performing in a play thrills me!

What're the odds that Idina will reprise the role I wonder.

^ Idina is going to launch the tour and then apparently Jackie will be taking over for the rest of the first leg.

I wonder how well they'd do with Jenn in the role.

Someone mentioned that people have subscriptions for theaters to watch various touring shows? I don't know how that works, but it may work in favor of IF/THEN. I think many people never gave it a chance at all on Broadway, never mind any mixed/negative reviews after the fact. But if it's part of a subscription plan anyway, who knows?
