If you mean ANY show or NEW tours, I know Wicked will be touring most def. Legally Blonde will continue to tour I believe, etc.

Unless we've come to the end of a recession by then, Ted Neeley will probably still be touring in JCS.

Wasn't there a tour of BOEING BOEING in the works? I'm sure that's been scrapped.

THere was talks of one. I remember they wanted Paige to do it badly so they were trying to plan the tour schedule around her Trading Spaces schedule but now that I think Trading Spaces is done for good they might go on with it.

I have a feeling Shrek and Hair will be Equity. I am not sure about Guys and Dolls.

[AndAllThatJazz22]

Yeah, Shrek and Hair will most likely be Equity. I definitely am 100% with you on there millie, and I agree with you about Guys and Dolls. That might very well be non-eq to save money.

It could've been postponed.

That would be sad. I would love the chance to see it again.

Shrek (Broadway Production) (Equity or Non?)
Guys and Dolls (2009 Broadway Revival) (Equity or Non?)
West Side Story (2009 Broadway Revival) (Equity)

Unconfirmed:
Les Miserables (NETworks tour of TUTS production) (Equity)
Cry-Baby (Non-Equity)
Boeing Boeing (Equity or Non?)

Eta: I take back Curtains, it isn't on Avid Touring group's website anymore

I figured since the recent Guys and Dolls revival was not successful, why would they put all their money in it to make it Equity? Hair has been successful, so I can definitely see it as Equity. Shrek, although it is not a huge success and could be doing better, I think will be Equity.

[AndAllThatJazz22]

Posted: 6/11/09 at 1:17pm

The reason why I think Guys and Dolls will be non-Equity is because it was a pretty big flop on Broadway and they don't have any 'special' money (like Shrek does) to make it a big Equity tour. I can almost garuntee you that it will be a grossly scaled-down non-eq tour that will go to a couple big cities and a bunch of smaller cities for 1 night to 1 week. The name will sell enough tickets, and the people in the cities it goes to will see a recognizable name not knowing the difference between non-eq and equity... and they'll love it.

Cheep Tour + Dumb Audience Members= $$$$$$$$

You forgot about In the Heights.

Posted: 6/11/09 at 1:26pm

^ I'm only doing tours that are kicking off in the 2010-2011 season. ITH is kicking off in the 2009-2010 season.

[millie_dillmount]

Posted: 6/11/09 at 1:26pm

In the Heights is the 2009-2010 season I thought. It is coming to a theater near me this fall/winter.

The real question is, which tours will perform on the 2011 Tony telecast?
