2019-2020 Touring Season — Page 17

True! And tickets are going on saleon March 7th, which leads me to believe they will have announced the rest of their season by then.

-On another note, Birmingham, AL is announcing their season shortly and it'll include OOTI (Dec 13-15), Les Mis (Jan 7-12), Waitress (Mar 20-22), and Bandstand (Apr 24-26)."

Doesn't necessarily mean so, but with the 3 might stop it makes me wonder if OOTI is equity or not

When a show is going out non-equity, there is, I believe, a clause in the Equity contract that the equity photos can no longer be used to promote the show, so producers will hire actors who fit in the costumes to take a handful of promo shots before new photos and b-roll can be done as the tour is launching.

If you actually look at this photo, it's a shot that doesn't need to be on the set, just a backdrop lit in the appropriate color.

I have a number of cities (one with dates) in the pipeline for JCS from a good source. No clue on venues as yet, but keep an eye on cities from this list.

August 4-9, 2020: Greenville, SC (only one I know dates for, source reckons it might be the Peace Center)

Other cities I know about (alphabetical order): Charlotte, NC; Cleveland, OH; Dallas, TX; Des Moines, IA

Hello, Dolly!
Spongebob Squarepants

with add-on:

Fiddler on the Roof

There also a previous email saying that Frozen would be part of the 2020/2021 Season and that 2029/2020 subscribers would get first dibs.

I wouldn’t mind revisiting Dolly and Spongebob again. I might like to finally experience Miss Saigon, too. The rest I’m kinda meh about. After seeing the current spectacular Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish, I can’t imagine the tour carrying a torch to it.

I never subscribe because I don’t want to see shows I don’t want to see plus I travel a lot for work."

I would highly recommend giving Come From Away a chance. I've seen it on Broadway twice and have tickets to see it twice when it comes to Orlando. The first time I saw it I went with someone with no desire to see it and they fell in love with it as well."

I’ve seen CFA before on Broadway. Not its biggest fan, unfortunately. It was actually my least favorite of the six shows I saw that trip. I suppose I might impulsively buy a ticket when it is on tour to give it a second chance, but I can’t say I’m excited about it.

Does anyone know or have ideas for the Boston 2019-2020 season

A quick calendar of announcements happening this week that I know of...

-Monday: Costa Mesa (officially...or see post below), Omaha (6:30 PM CST), Lincoln#, and Memphis (6 PM CST)

-Tuesday: Cleveland (7:30 PM EST) and Atlanta(?)

-Wednesday: St. Paul (7 PM CST)

-Thursday: Dayton (5:30 PM EST)

#Lincoln may have an official reveal, but I plan to have my site updated around 8 AM EST with their season's shows.

--I'd also expect announcements from Ft. Myers and a partial announcement from the Hanover in Worcester.

--And although an announcement was in the works for Detroit, according to a rep there, they are in delays as usual as they're still in negotiations with a couple of shows.

The date to watch out for is March 11th. So far, I've got six announcements happening that day, but more could be added. I also got an email from the Grand Opera House in Macon, GA that is surveying their patrons for shows to come this season. Among the 15 shows they listed, it looks like they're focusing on brining in OOTI, AAIP, Bandstand, or The Band's Visit.

Only thing mentioned on here so far is Come From Away. I'm expecting something like The Bands Visit, Mean Girls, CFA, Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar, and hoping for Once On This Island or Torch Song to make its way here as well. Usually Boston misses one or 2 of the new tours so I can see them waiting for My Fair Lady possibly. We shall see! I'm expecting The Lion King to return as well.

Shows usually don't play Boston and Providence in the same season, since they draw from the same audience. If it plays Boston this time around, it probably won't arrive in Providence until 2020-21 season; a year from the Boston date at the earliest.

School of Rock is in Boston right now and is playing Providence next week. Usually doesn't happen but that's basically 3 weeks in New England in a row which may be smart. But it does happen from time to time.

"Come From Away" will play Providence in December 2019 a few weeks after it plays Boston.
