2023-2024 Touring Season — Page 2

OH same here. Any dream casts??

Looks like The Wiz revival is launching a 2023 tour before its 2024 Broadway engagement!

My guess is Music Man is waiting until they close to announce. Norm Lewis is touring with a Soliders Play, he led Music Man at the Kennedy Center… maybe something like that could be in play for the road?

Music Man seems expensive and logistically challenging to tour. There would have to be an advance team going out to cast, contract and rehearse the children (plus chaperones, swings, etc) for every stop of the tour.

Not that it hasn’t been done before, though.

Tours with kids in the cast travel with the same group of kids. They don’t cast new ones in every city. WAITRESS would cast a local child to play Lulu in every city, but that was because the role had such little stage time and didn’t require much rehearsal for the child.

Does it though? There’s a production of into the woods happening at paramount in aurora in February, but that’s not stopping the upcoming tour of the same show.

I'm not sure-again, just because a show does well on Broadway does not automatically translate into a tour. I don't think we'll be seeing a lot of tours of shows currently running on Broadway. I think Into The Woods is an exception to this.

Next season so far really is highlighted by Company, A Girl From The North Country, The Wiz for select cities, and Mrs Doubtfire…

I think there is definitely a market out there for Music Man to tour and recoup its Money.


For selfish sake in Boston, we still haven’t gotten Frozen or the Moulin Rouge tour. Add in Company, A Girl From The North Country, and Music Man and that will sell many tickets I think.

I definitely see Frozen making its way to Boston-it's doing so well on tour that I can't imagine it won't make its way to cities it has not yet gone to. I can't remember, but even if it was there before I think it would be like Wicked and revisit venues. I think MR! will also make it's way there, as well as Company and the shows you listed. But I just don't know about The Music Man. Remember other shows with big names and how people would constantly ask if those people would also be on tour? If people in the Broadway casts would be going on tour? If someone thought Hugh Jackman or someone would be in the tour and then he wasn't-which is highly likely-don't you think there would be VERY disappointed subscribers?

No one was curious where Bette Midler was for Hello Dolly. I don’t think that’s an issue. They can likely get a decent Broadway name for Harold Hill a la Richard Thomas for TKAM. I think it’s more if they can get that name/want to invest.


MJ is also touring next year as well, which should sell like hot cakes nationwide."

Oh yes MJ will definitely do well, but Dolly still had a big name, from what I remember. Do you think they can honestly get a big name for MM?? I also have not heard anything anywhere about a tour happening. I think by now or next week we should know, but I don't see it touring. And thats okay. I can think that. Why is everyone so insistent that I can't think this??

Exciting season for Atlanta! So is Funny Girl most likely the mystery show coming to Detroit as well? I don’t think the tour has been announced yet.
