2025 - 2026 Touring Season — Page 10

I am still waiting for the Centre Theatre Group and Broadway in Chicago which are the last of the big announcements.

So wondering about non equity tours, I assume these generally happen (but not always) about 4/5 years after Broadway, so if I am correct this would be when the pandemic hit, so wondering if there would be anything that would go out new as non equity?

I feel like diamonds and flower can allude to Great Gatsby, since her name is Daisy.

The Pantages is eatin’ GOOD this upcoming season. The crossword had me guessing so many different shows, and it turns out they’re adding a ton of different shows! See below, with the asterisks being the add on shows.

• *LES MISERABLES (Oct 7, 2025 - Oct 19, 2025)
• *HADESTOWN (Oct 21, 2025 - Nov 2, 2025)
• *MOULIN ROUGE! THE MUSICAL (Nov 4, 2025 - Nov 16, 2025)
• SUFFS (Nov 18 - Dec 7, 2025)
• STEREOPHONIC (Dec 9, 2025 - Jan 2, 2026)
• THE NOTEBOOK (Jan 6 - 25, 2026)
• *THE BOOK OF MORMON (Feb 3, 2026 - Feb 15, 2026)
• *SIX (Feb 18, 2026 - Mar 8, 2026)
• *BEETLEJUICE (Mar 10, 2026 - Mar 22, 2026)
• SPAMALOT (March 24 - April 12, 2026)
• *TINA - THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL (Apr 14, 2026 - Apr 19, 2026)
• *MJ: THE MUSICAL (Apr 21, 2026 - May 3, 2026)
• THE SOUND OF MUSIC (May 5 - 24, 2026)
• HELL'S KITCHEN (May 26 - June 21, 2026)
• *PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (Jun 24, 2026 - Aug 9, 2026)
• Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (Aug 11 - Sept 6, 2026)

The Ahmanson still hasn’t announced, are they going to? But when they do there are nice surprises!

I could see and agree with you with Water for Elephants, The Outsiders, Sunset Boulevard would be very inspired and possible. Could the Broadway smash Oh Mary come? I see that as more than likely. It would be awesome to have My Neighbour Totoro from London or Life After from Toronto. Or could there be a Broadway try out?

Is Stereophonic going non-equity?

tacotheatrelover said: "probably a split week for stereophonic"

So still equity, but a SETA contract.

According to the EPA notice Stereophonic is an Equity Level 1 (full Production) tour

Stereophonic, Beetlejuice and Hadestown so far.

We normally get 6 to 8 shows a season. Stereophonic is listed on 'tours to you' and the other two the theatre did a sneak peek in their playbook."



Ha! They just announced their season this morning. I was a day early without knowing it.

For us in the desert this is an incredible theatre season. Very please with the selection. We normally only get just the weekendtheatre dates but this season most are 6 days. I see the Tina Turner musical (I've never seen it) this weekend.

Some big ticket shows there, congratulations, a lot big shows than I was expecting. Has the Palm ever had Hamilton? If not then next year.

Roll on the Ahmanson season.

Do you think Hamilton could pull 2 weeks in the desert?

Last season I think there was just one big ticket item being six? An incredible season.

&Juliet was part of last year’s season.

Other than that the announcement is underwhelming, the Palm Desert season is better. I am tempted not to renew.

After watching Sunday's performance I thought BVSC & RWHC could be popular on tour. Neither are really my cup of tea, but I think they could please subscribers.

I could see how Sunset may be too difficult to do in terms of logistics, but Oh Mary could do very well if limiting to bigger cities (LA, SF, Chicago, Minneapolis, etc).

I’m sure Cole needs a break, but they are the main reason to see it and I don’t know if Escola would be so quick to turn down the opportunity (if it were offered). It would also be a fairly easy production to tour and they wouldn’t need to sell out Broadway-sized theaters to turn a profit.
