Anybody else know about this? It's coming to a theatre near my school in the winter, so I might have to check it out. The pictures look like it's a high school production or something, but i'm curious.
I applied for the keyboard job a while back and haven't heard anything since. I have a feeling I know what that means. This tour is started by the Prather Entertainment Group, owner of The Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre...quality entertainent. I kid, The Dutch Apple puts on really good shows. I live twenty miles away and have worked there before as a musician. I was hoping that tie to the Prather Group would get me somewhere...guess not.
Many non-Eq tours play one nighters because they are only booked for the one night, because that's all that particular city can support/sell.
And yes, this is a non-Eq tour produced by the Prather Entertainment Group. Don't know much about them other than they produced the tour of Beehive last year.
I have no idea what I think about this production. As other people have said, this tour does have a very high-school look about it. I can't shake the possibility that I'll be disappointed. But I can't help but be intrigued by it. Whatever. I love the show, so I'm probably going to see it anyway.
I agree... intrigued is the right word for it. My gut is telling me it'll be a train wreck, but my trashy side that enjoys guilty pleasures secretly wants to see it.
My college is doing this show as their musical this year. Interestingly enough my college is located in New London CT. One of the stops on this tour. I don't know when my school is doing their production. But, something rubbed me the wrong way knowing that there is going to be a professional and college productions of the same show not that far apart from one another.

It looks a million times better than anything my high school ever did. Are they using the revised script? I've wanted to see a production with the new song for a while.
The preview made it look horrendous, but usually you can catch some good rising talent in shows like this.

It was at one of three theaters Broadway Palm Dinner Theater in Ft Myers, Fl, Dutch Apple Dinner Theater in Lamcaster, Pa, or Broadway Palm West Dinner Theater in Mesa, Az. I saw that production in fl and it was pretty good too
I too saw the production of this at The Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre many years ago. I was one of the better versions of this show I have seen. I am quite a fan of Footloose, saw it on Bway and a truly cringe-worthy tour (not sure of specifics on it). They took a different approach to it at the Broadway Palm, and if they use that staging again it my be a decent night of theatre.
