Just out of curiosity, is Waitresss even worth the hype. I saw the movie only one time really liked it but looks a bit good. And I hope the music Sarah Baraalesis wrote is good

Latest Philly clue - Book of Mormon! I love this show so I’m happy to have it coming back again.

I was on the fence about Waitress, but I enjoyed it a great deal. I really like the music, and the touring cast is among the best I've seen. Hope you enjoy it, too!

I might be missing some, but those are the bigger ones."

Fiddler?? Really?? That’s highly disappointing. At least the other shows you mentioned are either current equity tours going non-equity, or shows that have had equity tours in the past. I wasn’t thrilled about getting Fiddler to begin with, but the prospect of a non-equity Fiddler is even worse."

Per Playbill.com today, it is equity:  http://www.playbill.com/article/current-and-upcoming-national-tours

Here’s a recent thread with some reviews. Saw the show last weekend and loved it!

Thank you. I'll have to rewatch the movie to make up my mind

Having never seen the movie, but I can tell you the music is really great and makes the show. And I had never even heard of Sara Bareilles before this.

That's okay you're not familiar with the movie. It's a very sweet story. And I love Sarah song Brave so get out (sarcasm intended). You sound you really enjoy it. It must be worth Why it's the first Broadway musical with an all female original creative team. I'm all for representation

I just updated it this morning, so it should be good! If anyone sees any cities that aren't listed, send me  a message on here or through the doc itself, and I'll get it on there!

I am VERY surprised that Anastasia isn't having any Southern California stops. Does anybody have any insight to why that is?

I was disappointed by this development as well. Was looking forward to this and already listened to the new versions of Journey to the Past and Once Upon A December. Plus the show looks stunning

Giving full credit to whatsnext81 for constructing and updating the tour grid! I just bumped it forward because it got lost way back in the thread.

I kind of don’t believe Fiddler is going non-eq, because it’s doing 3 week stints in a ton of places, and that just doesn’t seem usual for a non-equity tour.

Posted: 3/19/18 at 9:45pm

So much for those who said "Come From Away" was coming to Boston...! At least the Emerson Colonial theater will be getting some use after all this time... The Play That Goes Wrong, The Illusionists and Kinky Boots will all be playing there.

Maybe it’ll end up at the Wang?
