DEH Tour-Denver

Something fishy is going on with the DEH tour launch. Months ago, to much fanfare, it was announced that DEH would start its tour in Denver at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. There was an article about how excited the producers, creative team was about premiering the show there. The dates were listed on the DEH tour page. Flash forward to now, the tour page states Denver, CO TBA, Coming soon. No dates, no links. All the other announced venues list venues, dates and links. It’s the first stop of the tour!

When you go the Denver Center page, the article is gone. The section about when tickets would go on sale is gone. But, it does list the dates as being Sep 25-Oct 13, 2018. If that’s the case, why aren’t those dates listed on the official tour page. 

Could it be that they’re changing the venue? The dates? Curious.

It could something as innocuous as the rehearsal/tech schedule not being finalized, resulting in the dates of the first previews and performances not being solidified yet.

EDIT: The Denver Center's website still says this:

I only remember this happening once but the Denver Center has two venues that can house touring productions. The Buell and The Ellie. They sit right next to each other. Maybe they are changing the venue which would mean they would have to re-do ticketing. Just a thought.

That’s what I figured. The producer said that is was going to be a 60 city tour. I’m guessing they will probably send out 2 or 3 separate tours.

Hopefully they’re changing it. DEH would drown at the Buell. It’s so massive.

Green, I thought that would happen with the SPRING AWAKENING tour at The Buell but it actually worked well. But yes, that is a huge theater. I love it though and miss it!

The rumor is that DEH will play the National Theatre in DC instead of the Kennedy Center opera house for that same reason.

That's extremely unlikely. I imagine it will be one company, touring 2-3 years.

Would seem to make sense that moving it into smaller houses would also mean longer stays? Or do less people just get to see it?

Not really, it's pretty standard for a national tour of a popular show. People come and go. The current Phantom tour has already been on the road over four years, Book of Mormon five, Wicked and Lion King maaaaany more than that (don't care to look up dates right now).
