Yes, but what else do you need?  Those are the two biggest shows of the season.  Anything else is going to already have played Chicago.  How many times can one suffer through Mamma Mia?
		     				
		     					
Shrek is almost a 3 month engagement in Chicago. And Billy Elliot is a sit-down production. So those were announced because of their long runs.

Did you really already get tickets?? I looked on their website and didn't see anything about it. When exactly is it going to be there? " 
 
It's complicated. I called, they put my name on a list of "They called in advance so they get priority when we start doing ticket sales" and since I told them we would be having a group, we'll get priority over single sale tickets. I was third on the list (which suprized me) but I said I wanted tickets for opening night. We'll see. The show is in september. 
		     						     						
		     			BUMP! 
 
Any mor dates or cast info? Its going to need a lot of downsizing but can't wait to see it
		     						     						
I understand where Chicago Star is coming from. I'm also from Chicago, and while it's great that Billy and Shrek are coming here, I'm not super excited for either. NO,I don't want any more Mamma Mia, but I'd like to know if Next to Normal is coming through, or 9 to 5 or some shows that I know are more my type of shows rather than shows that I'm not as much into. It's mostly because I'm not particularly impressed with this winter/spring season lineup.
		     			Dates I have found so far: 
 
Nashville (Sept. 21 - 26)  
Atlanta (Sept. 28 - Oct. 3)

The 9 to 5 website has not been updated since it closed in September.

9 to 5's fansite has been relaunched. It is located at http://shinelikethesun.moonfruit.com. News about the tour will be posted there when announced.
Anyone else wondering how the set will be downsize (mainly the office set and all the locations in shine like the sun)

I hear that New Orleans may be getting this as well. Hope it does! Does anyone know if this will be equity?

I just asked the 5th Avenue today and they told me the version they are getting IS in-fact Equity, so I can only assume that the other cities are linked to this tour and they are all equity shows.
When will the casting be announced?

		     			fscmocsgal, I hope this is the correct list, cause if it is... I will LOVE you! lol. Where did you get this from? I hope it DOES come to Fort Worth!  
		     				
		     					
		     			I found the information from a lot of different places - from people, on the web, just finding by chance, and on Dollymania.net.  I found two other cities that Dollymania.net doesn't have listed just by searching the web.   
  
If you go to Google, type in 9 to 5 the Musical - Ft Worth, there are a couple of articles listing 9 to 5 and some other shows that will be there. 
 
Hope that's enough proof for you! :)

Yay! Thanks alot! I can't believe I missed this in our newspaper! :P lol.
Too bad this tour isn't coming to New Orleans. Would have sold well here. It'll probably head to Birmingham, AL as well.
