What are some actors who are decent-sized Broadway stars who have been on a tour?  Not bigger names, like Betty Buckley or Carolee Carmello in Hello, Dolly, but names that would mean something to Broadway fans but not many others.  For example, Joy Franz in Anastasia, Kevin Carolan in Come From Away, Donna Vivino in Cats, and the like.

Rob McClure did the Something Rotten tour for a year and a half after closing the show on Broadway. Adam Pascal did the tour too but I think he’s too well-known for what this question is asking.

The Lunts, Katharine Cornell and most other major stars of their era toured their shows extensively.  It was how they got national reputations before the age of TV and the internet. 

But that was many years ago.  I doubt that anyone would know.

Judy Kaye and David Hess leading the Sweeney revival tour in 2007-2008.

I am big. It’s the REVIVALS that got small.

And Alexander Gemignani briefly subbed in for David Hess as Sweeney in this tour and he was fantastic.

Gemignani was great! Very pleased with that tour.

A lot of them start off on tours before they make it to Broadway. I saw Sutton Foster in Grease on tour in the late 90s, I saw Alice Ripley as Fantine in Les Miz on tour in the early 90s.
