2017-2018 Touring Season

Since the last thread is now on it's 15th page, I thought I would start a new one for the 2017-2018 season. Of course, as always some of these tours will not materialize (we went 12/16 by my count for the 16-17 season, not including the rumored). I am also going to call anything that starts in the spring of 2017 but has long runs for the first few starts (i.e. Hamilton and Aladdin) as this season.



That brings the list (as of 2/7) to:

ANNOUNCED/CONFIRMED:

Hamilton (North American tour starting on the West Coast in March, Chicago company selling thorough 9/17/17 currently)

Aladdin (Chicago engagement from 4/11/2017 - 7/2/2017)

Waitress (launching from Cleveland)

Allegiance

Les Miserables (launching in Providence)

School of Rock

Love Never Dies

The Color Purple (Revival Version)

On Your Feet! (launching from Miami)

The Humans

Escape to Margaritaville (New Orleans, Houston, Chicago)

Bright Star


RUMORED:
Deaf West Spring Awakening

Shuffle Along



2018-2019: CONFIRMED

Fiddler on the Roof

Miss Saigon

Any others?

"Miss Saigon" launches in Providence, RI in the fall of 2018... I'm thinking this will be part of the 2018/2019 touring season.

Don't forget School of Rock.

Updated! (I thought I was missing a few)

Yep. I would count that as 18/19. Didn't remember Les Mis officially announcing - updated. Thanks!"

I don't think they have. But they are here: http://bbonyc.com/

The link redirects to the site for the current Broadway production, though.

Spring Awakening Deaf West is also supposed to be touring in 2017/2018! They've announced stops in Seattle and in Arizona!

Colleen Jennings-Roggensack, Executive Director for ASU Gammage, said: "This SPRING AWAKENING by Deaf West Theatre is an important and moving work. The night I saw it, the audience was electric and so deeply engaged. It is a work that the Road should embrace."

Josh LaBelle, Executive Director of the Seattle Theater Group, said: "Deaf West's production ofSPRING AWAKENING on Broadway delivered an incredibly inspirational theatre experience. The cast, direction and breathtaking incorporation of American Sign Language (ASL) was something to behold. Our staff would be honored & excited to present Deaf West's SPRING AWAKENING in Seattle."

I will add it to the rumoured list

i'll chime in before hogans hero does that it seems questionable whether there would be demand for an Allegience tour

next year will be awesome for those of us that live outside of nyc

LizzieCurry said: "I'm sure Allegiance would do well in the West Coast cities with large Asian Am populations (SF, LA, San Diego, Seattle). Not sure where else."

Especially if they get Lea Salonga to come do it... They would make BANK touring to big Asian American and FilAm populous cities...

Updated! I had already added Waitress and School of Rock, but I forgot about Love Never Dies.

As for the others, I added them to the rumored section as those agreements are sometimes put in place long before a show officially decides that it is touring.



Does it seem to anyone else that we do not have nearly as long of a list as we do for the 2016-2017 season?

Apparently, Bright Star is another possibility...

Unlikely. The producers of the show expect to run the production in Chicago for at least 2 years.

Aladdin (Chicago sit-down from 4/17/2017 - 7/2/2017)


That's not a sit-down. That's a typical tour stop. They may extend the run, but it's not open-ended,
