Happy to hear Illinois will have a life after it's Broadway run.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

TUTS does a combination of locally produced shows and tours. ILLINOISE AND BTTF are tours. The rest should be locally done."
Wait, I guess this is then a back door announcement for anIllinoise tour?"
It would seem that way unless they're doing it locally and their other tour import is a White Christmas mini-tour. They usually do 2 tours and BTTF is definitely one. Not aware of a BRIGADOON, SPAMALOT, or XANADU tour and I doubt they're doing 5 local shows."
Is there an official press release for their announcement? Haven't found anything via Google.

They haven't publicly announced. Subscribers got a sneak peek.

Looks like a solid season. Thanks for posting. Helps to see what other cities are getting.
Surprised Clue is still touring. Mediocre production that is somehow selling.

I agree, subscribers want to see a Broadway show, not that, a cheap and tacky infill.
I found Los Angeles to be a good barometer for tours, with the big shows going to the Pantanges and the intimate ones going to the Almanson. So could see The Great Gatsby, Hell’s Kitchen and Water for Elephants going into the Pantanges and Tommy, Outsiders and The Notebook in the Ahmanson?
