Aida tour question

Has Aida ever toured, and what (do you think) is the possibility that it will tour in the future, either equity or non? This is on my list of must-see shows. Thanks!

Aida has toured in the past... I saw it a few years back and it was WONDERFUL! However, I don't think it's currently touring and have not heard of one coming in the near future... I think the rights have been released for professional theatres, etc to do.

People have been talking about another tour since the show closed on Broadway. I supposed it'll happen eventually, though regional productions are fairly common now, instead.

I am pretty sure it is touring right now, but not in the US.. it is on an international tour I think, based on the Disney website. I wish it would come back I loved Aida and I only got to see it twice (once with Adam Pascal and he was amazing!)

It's an awesome show and wish we could catch another tour as well... One can only wish...

Aida is currently playing in Seoul, Korea.

Big League Theatricals is doing the tour next season.

I loved this show! I got to see it with Adam too- which made it even more amazing . I hope it does end up touring, I would love to see it again.

I saw the touring production of Aida twice and really liked it. Would love to see it again!

The Equity tour was stunning. It had the most amazing Amneris - Kelli Fouriner (at the time - and now a memmber here!) and if anyone had the opportunity to see Paulette Ivory as Aida you know what it means to see a star. I hope that the qualities of the production are not compromised for the new tour - the costumes are gonna be great - but I have yet to see the set designs

Was the Equity tour set design the same as the Palace? (Mainly I'm wondering if the pool and My Strongest Suit's sets were kept in tact!) Big League is non-eq, isn't it?

The set was the same - pool and all! Was great! Yes Big Leauge is non - equ. but they generally do pretty good stuff....still....

A lot of the sets and things from Broadway are now in the Korean production, I believe.

I miss this show like mad.

So do I Em. I was so glad that I got to see it one last time before it closed.

I was thinking about it today. I don't know... how much time has actually gone by and all. *shrug* I take long walks through Times Square.

I saw Big League's Miss Saigon recently, and it was great. Their Kim sounded almost exactly like Lea.
