I'm trying to decide if I want to resubscribe for next year, and I think it hinges on whether Anastasia is going to be non-Equity. Does anyone have confirmation on that yet? This year Broadway SJ gave us Waitress non-Equity, and after seeing Christine Dwyer and the Equity tour in SF the prior year it was very apparent how much quality was sacrificed when going non-union. While the Jenna was fine and showed potential to get her card some day, others in the cast song off-key and had the wrong comic timing. I know Charlie is already non-Equity, but I saw Anastasia in SF last yearso I don't think I can handle watching another sub-par tour in comparison. Honestly, Broadway by the Bay in Redwood City is an amateur theater group that offers more talent on stage than some of these non-union shows for a fraction of what Broadway SJ charges."
Not a ton I'm personally interested in, with the exception of 1776 pre-Broadway. I went back and Googled that production, and it looks like they're "touring" a number of cities before Broadway next spring. Excited to hear about the casting!
Interesting that Tootsie is going to San Jose, which I assume means they won't go to San Francisco in the near future. (The majority of equity tours seem to hit San Francisco in their first year or two, and then San Jose later down the line).
