The Playhouse Sq. complex is liked by big tours because they have plenty of back stage space for shows with larger casts and big scenes to work out logistics before they hit smaller houses. Only down size is the State and Palace are large barns with tons of seating, double letter rows are very common. One cool thing they are doing though is offering some generous discounts on subcriptions to fill these seats up and introduce new folks to musical theater.
Surprised ROA is not in the season, this is the type of show that Cleveland likes and would do very well. I am hearing that they are trying to get a long run of something popular that has played Cleveland already for the summer months, Jersey Boys sounds like the obvious candidate.
