Posted: 1/18/15 at 12:51am^ Yes. If you look at the shows that are split week or single performances, those are all non union.

Posted: 1/20/15 at 12:21pmGlad to see NEWSIES is extending after August 2015. I wonder if it will become a second national or even non-union when the next leg starts?

Posted: 1/20/15 at 1:33pmI believe Disney is holding onto it for another season.

Posted: 1/20/15 at 3:52pmIt's selling hella well. I'm sure they'll hold onto it.

"I wish shows toured quicker. Like, why not put The Last Ship out on tour? I mean it's closed, they have a long time before Sept rolls around and they'd need to put it on tour. Why not put something together now instead of in a year or two."
There are multiple reasons why it's difficult to just throw a show on the road. Financing, for one, can be very difficult, especially for a show that does not do well in New York. Scheduling is the second issue. Most presenters are booking their seasons at least a year in advance, if not more. By this point, whether they've announced or not, it would be a safe bet that all of the major presenters, and most of the smaller ones, have their subscription series for 2015-16 booked and are already planning 2016-2017. To include anything that is not a guaranteed sell out hit outside of their regular subscription series is incredibly risky for them.

Where are you seeing a schedule for 42nd St?
Split weeks and one-nighters does NOT mean non-Equity. Holly, Dolly just did a year of one nighters, and was an AEA show.
Also, "non-Equity" does not mean "non-Union" - almost every non-Equity show still uses a union crew, and most use union musicians.

This is really just way too wishful thinking, but I can't help but wonder if there is a chance JCM does the Hedwig tour. I can't imagine he'd want to do a full tour, but getting a chance to perform it for two week-month long runs in select cities seems desirable.

Posted: 1/22/15 at 9:39amI saw that Les Miz will be at the Fox PAC in Riverside, California in June 2015. Does anyone know if that's ta tour or a standalone production?

I doubt it. He seemed reluctant to do it on Broadway, although you wouldn't know it last night...

Theatre Under the Stars Houston 15-16 Season:
Matlida
A Christmas Story
Bridges of Madison County
Mary Poppins
Oliver!
A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder
Don't have dates for the shows yet.
A side note - in a recent press release touting their new logo, they mentioned that they will be launching a national tour produced by TUTS. Anyone know anything about this? Could Oliver or Poppins be that show? Haven't seen any mention of either of those touring.

Posted: 1/22/15 at 12:11pmFrom what I gather, Boston will have another anemic season (the official season announcement is scheduled for March 2). For the second year in a row, it's looking like the subscription series will only have 4 shows (plus a few season add-ons/specials). Very frustrating... my hopes for the "Matilda" tour are fading fast.

Posted: 1/22/15 at 1:30pmAvenue Q is not touring. I hate when people play with my emotions.

It's some company called "Theatre Royale," with a broken website. http://www.mtishows.com/show_detail.asp?showid=000134

Posted: 1/22/15 at 2:24pmI think shows that only SOME cities or city are getting are regional productions NOT tours.

Posted: 1/22/15 at 3:26pmSorry should have been clearer. TUTS does a mixture of tours and locally-produced shows. Oliver may be one of the locals. I was just wondering if it might be the start of a tour, as they did say in a press release that they will be launching a national tour. So it's likely one of those shows - but which?

Posted: 1/23/15 at 6:10pmThe Pantages Theatre subscribers (me included) got an email today saying that they're announcing their new season on Monday the 26th at 6am (subscribers first to know by email).. 3 days away. SO EXCITED!

Posted: 1/24/15 at 6:50pmI'm not sure if this has been discussed in this thread before, but is the Guys and Dolls tour non-equity?
