Sorry, I couldn't find the old thread.
The Cry-Baby tour now has a website.

And South Pacific, R&H's Cinderella, Beauty and The Beast, & Handel's Messiah Rocks, will join it in NETworks' next season.

Posted: 3/9/09 at 7:01pmSorry to raise the age old question, but, Which tours will be non-eq? From what I understand, equity just passed a new touring contract that has a much lower minimum than other equity tours. If this is true, hopefully there will be more Equity tours going out.

Posted: 3/9/09 at 7:02pmI was one of the few who liked Cry-Baby, but why on EARTH would they put up those horrendous demos? I would be turned off after hearing those...

Posted: 3/9/09 at 7:05pmI know South Pacific will be equity.

Is the South Pacific tour the tour of the current Broadway revival? I am thinking that it is because the NETworks site has the revival logo right next to the blurb about South Pacific. But, do they produce Equity tours?
Also, when Light In The Piazza went on tour, who produced it?

Posted: 3/9/09 at 7:18pmNETworks does both Equity & Non.

Posted: 3/9/09 at 7:34pmRumor has it, they are closing Hairspray and moving some of the "Nicest" boys directly over to the Cry Baby tour.
#9re: Cry-Baby tour website and other upcoming NETworks tours
Posted: 3/9/09 at 7:37pmI wouldn't be surprised if they closed Hairspray, they are on year THREE. I also wouldn't be surprised if Brooklynn Pulver went with them as Pepper.

Posted: 3/9/09 at 8:08pmI hate that they're touring the Lea Salonga Cinderella and not their initial tour from 2000. I liked the Networks script and orchestrations much better than the Salonga version.

Posted: 3/9/09 at 8:15pmAre they attempting to make the Beauty and the Beast tour like the Broadway production and other tours of it? Like same sets and costumes? Or is it just going to be them attempting to do their own version of Beauty and the Beast?

I'm curious as to why we're hearing this from NETworks and not Disney or Playbill...

Posted: 3/9/09 at 8:33pmi hope they make a cast cd of cry baby tour on cd. because broadway did not do one.
#15re: Cry-Baby tour website and other upcoming NETworks tours
Posted: 3/9/09 at 8:36pmNETworks doesn't do CDs. They don't do much merchandise either.

Very few tours have ever received a cast recording. I can only think of maybe three off the top of my head so I wouldn't hold my breath for a tour CD of Cry-Baby unless they pull a Story of My Life and decide they really, really want one for hope of regional success.

Posted: 3/9/09 at 11:48pmJust to put that one rumor to rest...Hairspray is going out again for a 4th year. Casting for the possible Crybaby tour has not been started, so the rumor about the Hairspray cast moving is completely false. :)

Posted: 3/9/09 at 11:50pmHairspray must still be selling amazingly then.
#19re: Cry-Baby tour website and other upcoming NETworks tours
Posted: 3/10/09 at 12:17amHairspray is going to asia I believe.
#20re: Cry-Baby tour website and other upcoming NETworks tours
Posted: 3/10/09 at 12:57pmAccording to the press release from Seattle's fifth avenue theater, the tour of South Pacific is going to be the current Lincoln Center Staging. It will be directed by Bartlett Sher and not an assistant, so the assumption would be that it will be Equity.

Posted: 3/10/09 at 3:02pmHairspray goes to Asia every year.

Posted: 3/10/09 at 5:04pmI live in southern nowhereville. My local theatre considers it a success if a 2-3 night is half full every night. Hairspray sold out in it's 2 day engagement at my town. Its not going anywhere
