2020-2021 Touring Season — Page 6

I think the strongest case for Groundhog Day touring is that Nashville teased it in their Playbill a week ago:

"Just breathe. In February we won't be the only ones popping our heads out of the ground. We'll satisfy your temptation and invite you to take a gander at a 2020-21 Broadway at TPAC season that is written in the stars.

We know it's a little earlier than usual, it's just one of those things. You might call it a preamble to TPAC roaring into its 40th birthday this year. Put on your pink and cue the pomp and parade, we're another year older, and we can't wait to start celebrating with you. Not yet. Soon."

I also have a contact who has said that the plan is to tour in the 20/21 season. That was back in June, so things are always subject to change.

But a non-equity Groundhog Day - that is exactly the sort of crap they would foist off on us."

You mean like 3/4 (not counting Wicked 'cause it's an add-on show) of the shows that came here for the 19/20 season?
I don't think it'd be Groundhog Day; the picture they had in their story for DEH had a blue background, since it's the show's 'colour'. The mystery show had a purple & gold background, and Anastasia used a lot of purple & gold in their marketing/merchandise.

I think that was announced a whole back, but that seems to be a local production, not a tour (similar to how the production in San Francisco was independent).

Cookie237 said: "It is a local production, but for what it's worth the Slow Burn Theatre Company does Broadway-like shows!"

My bad, I misunderstood the intent of your post I'm a big fan of regional theater myself, and I hope the production goes well! (I'm on the west coastz alas)

Miss Saigon is in it's second(?) touring season right now and we haven't gotten it yet. Now that Broadway in Detroit is using three theatres again I'm being cautiously optimistic for a decent season."

For real. For having such a large subscription base we seem to get the short end of the stick lately. No, Detroit is not Chicago or LA but markets that are much smaller seem to get most shows before we do. Lately, some shows (Something Rotten last year and A Bronx Tale this year) are not making it here until they have gone non-equity.

the tour of Waitress that came through Vancouver was non equity.

I think Waitress & DEH are both equity, so only 1/2 the season.

I passed on seeing Anastasia on bway so I would be fine with that included in the season.

I'm going down to LA in a few months & will see Hamilton again there, so curious about when it will play here & with which cast?"

the tour of Waitress that came through Vancouver was non equity. As was Rent and the FN tour that is coming through so in the regular line up only the DEH tour is equity we can assume that Hamilton will be an equity tour so there will be at least one next season

I could see Harry Potter posting up at the Pantages or Dolby for a couple months, like Hamilton is doing. My other guesses for the new season would be Moulin Rouge, Beetlejuice, Tina T, Lion King, Oklahoma, Tootsie, and maybe Ave. Q or Jagged?

My current season in Jacksonville has Hamilton for the first time. Even with Hamilton, the subscriptions didn't sell out. When the individual tickets for Hamilton go on sale, I am sure those seats will sell. We have our second show of the season this week, Rent, and there are tons of empty seats. I bought the subscription this time and with 5 shows, second orchestra, it was still only $260. I just don't think having Hamilton got them the sales they were looking for.
