2020-2021 Touring Season — Page 26

MattieIce2018 said: "PPAC in providence has revised its season as follows:

The Prom (tour launch) 1/23-1/29/21
Oklahoma! 3/2-3/7/21
Ain’t too Proud 3/30-4/4/21
Summer 4/6-4/11/21
My Fair Lady 4/20-4/25/21
Mean Girls 6/15-6/20/21

Pretty Woman (tour launch) and The Cher Show have been cut from the season. Is PW being postponed?

Pretty Woman is supposed to come to Philly the following week. I am wondering if that will get cut (probably). Also, Ain't Too Proud is supposed to run in Philly from 3/16 - 4/4. I guess they are cutting the last week of the run here and sending it up to Providence.

It has been announced that the launch of the Hadestown tour is postponed until further notice.

Pittsburgh Cultural Trust have this update today via email:

Due to these delays, we have changes to our 2020-2021 Broadway season schedule, which include:

AIN’T TOO PROUD, originally scheduled for August 25-30, 2020, will be rescheduled to return as part of the PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh 2021-2022 season.

The producers of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD are re-examining a new schedule for the tour, including the highly anticipated Pittsburgh run originally scheduled for November 24-29, 2020, and are working to reschedule this engagement as soon as possible.

The national tour of THE CHER SHOW is postponing its tour opening and will no longer be a part of our 2020-2021 season line-up.

We are very excited for you to be the among the first to hear these new updates to the 2020-2021 season:

Our previous engagement of SUMMER: THE DONNA SUMMER MUSICAL in April at Heinz Hall is rescheduled to run February 16-21, 2021 at the Benedum Center.

The national tour of TOOTSIE, a new comedy musical, has been added to the season and will run August 10-15, 2021.

All together, the PNC BROADWAY IN PITTSBURGH 2020-2021 season will include seven incredible titles, with all shows taking place at the Benedum Center:

HADESTOWN - October 27–November 1, 2020 (edit to add Post 628 above says it’s cancelled until further notice).

HAMILTON – January 5–February 7, 2021

SUMMER: THE DONNA SUMMER MUSICAL – February 16–21, 2021

OKLAHOMA! – March 9–14, 2021

PRETTY WOMAN: THE MUSICAL - March 30–April 4, 2021

MY FAIR LADY – April 13–18, 2021

TOOTSIE – August 10-15, 2021

SouthernCakes said: "So now according to a new casting notice they’re trying to cast the majority of the leads as POC. Is this to “cash in” on the current situation? "

Just saw this on Twitter. This is for the Tootsie tour for those who don’t know. I hate to make assumptions but this is just so... odd...

Ah okay I missed that. Yeah agree that the timing makes it come off a bit weird for sure, but based on that and I suppose principally either way, it seems like it’s in good nature.

Just got an email for Orlando! Instead of a 20/21 season, it’s a 21 season which will run from January until December.

The Orlando engagement of Tootsie, originally scheduled for November 24 - 29, 2020 has been rescheduled to November 2 - 7, 2021.

Hadestown, originally scheduled for December 15 - 20, 2020, has been rescheduled to September 21 - 26, 2021. The show has delayed the launch of its national tour until Spring 2021.

We are thrilled that both Tootsie and Hadestown will remain part of the upcoming 2021 season and, as such, your seats are secured.
Your 2021 6-show season package includes:
The Band's Visit - Jan 5 - 10, 2021
The Prom - Feb 16 - 21, 2021
Cats - Apr 20 - 25, 2021
Jesus Christ Superstar - Jun 15 - 20, 2021

I’m assuming To Kill a Mockingbird dates will be announced at a later date

I am very excited and curious to see how Fish adapts Oklahoma! for and proscenium stage.

Phoenix (Tempe) just announced that Oklahoma and Hamilton (the first two shows of the 20/21 season) are postponed and they'll attempt to reschedule them in 2021. Can't imagine they'll be the last, as we've already lost Hadestown.

Surprised they cancelled Hamilton instead of rescheduling it. I had posted this in another thread, but this thread is the more appropriate. We received an update, a while back on our season in Jacksonville. They dropped Mean Girls and added Anastasia. Although I really want to see Mean Girls, I want to see Anastasia more. Since it was cancelled prior.

I think that all seems very hopeful. If the shows start in June. Rehearsals would start in May. Auditions would be march/april. So I guess we'll see what the next few weeks bring.

Does anyone know if there is a more current thread on this year's tours?



Thanks,
