Is it allowed?

From Playbill.com:

"Auditions for the choice role of Evita herself have been ongoing, with Broadway stars and lesser-known actresses vying for the part."

I believe Evita will be non-Equity, but Broadway stars are vying for the part. How is that possible?

The tour will be equity, although Troika is not a member of the League of Producers and often presents (great) non-eq tours. This was one of the points of contention btw. the League and Eq during all the recent contract talks.

Awesome! Now I really wish it comes through a city near me.
