Was there any mention if the Dolby was going to alter their seating for these shows? I can't see The Band's Visit reaching that intimacy in that hanger.

They have only said they are not selling the uppermost balcony for Pantages shows.
I have side orchestra tickets at the Pantages that I love due to the price point and how great the seats are. We were moved to rear Mezz 1 for Dolby shows.

I found out on Facebook the seating capacity will be altered not to include mezzanine 3.

Is Torch Song even happening? Someone mentioned they met a cast member who said Minneapolis was defifnetley a stop and it wasn't announced there. Im still hopeful as well but not going to get my hopes up on it. Could they potentially get the Cursed Child after San Francisco? Just speculating but the Ahmanson may also get Bandstand and The Drowsy Chaperone tours.

I know it doesn't necessarily mean anythings set in stone but just wanted to say that Ahmanson's website has Torch Song listed. Bandstand did technically announce a tour but nothing else since iirc. Though it's interesting that the Pantages has nothing lined up for spring 2020 since all of those shows will be at Dolby...wonder if they'd be possibly gearing up for another production of Cursed Child, or even a possible stop for Great Comet.

FYI (1): Bandstand is touring. It's playing (so far) in Thousand Oaks in November and in Fort Lauderdale next May.
FYI (2): San Antonio's new season:

As others have said though, not sure this is something that'd play the Ahmanson or not.

I thoroughly loved it. Christian Borle was the lead, and as you would think, he was fantastic. It's really FUN. It's not the Top 5 musicals u will ever see, but it is just full of color and fun. Hoping the national tour doesn't ruin that part of it. HUGE cast.
I think it will kill on national tour if it's roughly the same as the Broadway run.

Anyone know what will be coming to Chicago? I hope we get Mean Girls, Frozen, and Spongebob. It’s been about four years since The Lion King has been here so maybe we’ll get that again. I’m sure we’ll get the Donna summer tour, but I wouldn’t exactly be too excited about that one.

So Hello Dolly seems to be touring again, Id assume equity? Any idea or hopes for who the lead is?
Posted: 2/6/19 at 8:41am
Hello Dolly is appearing March 2020. So later in season. The article in the star touts Betty Buckley but the official theater announcement offers no star billing.

Portland OR just announced today:
Dear Evan Hansen
Miss Saigon
Fiddler on the Roof
Frozen
Mean girls
Anastasia
Posted: 2/7/19 at 12:45pm
Louisville announced today:
Dear Evan Hansen
The Band's Visit
Jesus Christ Superstar
Miss Saigon
Anastasia
Come From Away
The Lion King (as a season option)
Cincinnati hasn't announced yet, but there's usually a decent amount of overlap. They have Dear Evan Hansen and Miss Saigon this season, so I'm guessing Anastasia along with Come From Away and/or The Band's Visit will be a part of the 2019-20 season at the Aronoff.
Posted: 2/7/19 at 1:51pm
West Palm is announcing tomorrow evening. Based on the hints they've dropped, they should be getting: Fiddler, Play That Goes Wrong, Bronx Tale, Hamilton (prev. announced), Saigon, Come From Away, and Summer (prev. announced).

When I saw Hamilton last Saturday night, a box office manager told me Orlando was announcing on February 14. I named some potential shows, but I got no reaction.
