2023-2024 Touring Season — Page 12

Vancouver just announced the season:

Hadestown, Mean Girls, Hairspray, Frozen

A little meh…

Was able to find webpages for two upcoming Broadway in Chicago engagements that haven't been formally announced yet, Girl From the North Country and Mrs Doubtfire. They will be in Chicago February 13 - February 25, 2024 and February 17 - March 10, 2024(I think they meant to write February 27th), respectively. If that's all they're adding for the spring half of the season, how disappointing. I couldn't find anything for Funny Girl or even a return engagement for Mamma Mia or something.

Yes! You are correct, didn’t think to search for that: The Peter Pan webpage.

How phenomenal that Richard Thomas has committed to a third year of touring with To Kill a Mockingbird. No doubt he helps make it an event in the places it plays, like Auburn, Huntsville, and Birmingham in Alabama, and Chattanooga and Knoxville in Tennessee, and Fayetteville in Arkansas, and other locations in Southern states where the story may play especially powerfully. Many kudos to him!

Normally I'd say AEA is more likely to be accurate, but I'm not sure how often they update - their list still has Come From Away as equity, and lists the scrapped 9 to 5 tour even though it was cancelled over a year ago"

I was also unsure for a while, but I found audition notices that list it as non-union. They’re still looking for their titular character, and just shifted the age range down to a teen instead of a young adult.

I don't know where y'all are getting your information on Peter Pan from, but it's not correct. It is an equity tour, not non-equity, per both Playbill and casting notices and offers. The "Peter Pan" listed on AEA's website is from a prior tour that they still haven't removed, a la 9 to 5, South Pacific, Rent, Kinky Boots, South Pacific, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Waitress, etc.

A NetWorks Instagram post just confirmed that the tour is non-Union: https://www.instagram.com/p/CupnvUTv0Wq/?igshid=Y2I2MzMwZWM3ZA==

Regarding the Funny Girl tour: does the schedule & logistics seem a bit weird? Or are all tours so convoluted with their schedules? Like they play Charlotte NC, then go up to Baltimore, then back to Greenvillle NC.

They play Milwaukee & Minneapolis, but skip Chicago.

They play Las Vegas then San Francisco then Costa Mesa instead of Los Angeles proper?

They don't come up the Pacific Northwest, so maybe they're planning on a second year with Seattle & Portland & other cities they're skipping the first year?

They didn’t include the Los Angeles stop in the article, but it plays at The Ahmanson from April 2-28 2024

The Funny Girl tour is coming to Los Angeles proper from April 2 to April 28, Chicago has not been announced YET.

Last I checked the CFA show site a few days ago it just said “North American tour will resume this fall”. No word on specific dates or cast yet. (I’m waiting with baited breath, it’s my favorite and coming to my city in January).

stoptheworld38 said: "Update on CFA, website now says the tour will resume on October 17th. First stop Columbia, SC.

No word on casting yet but 3 other upcoming non-equity tours have announced within the past week so I imagine we'll find out soon."

interesting that they have some stops missing from the tour schedule. I have tickets to see this at the State Theater in New Brunswick, NJ on Jan 6 and that's one of the stops missing on the website.
