Sorry I don't have a link to the story, but I heard DRS is starting like July 06? I think that's what they said.
Are you sure Light in the Piazza is going on tour? That'd be awesome!!!! Someone has more info on this?
DRS starts in Toronto in June 06 for a sit down then goes to providence for its first stop in the tour in September, I think.

Providence? Really? That's somewhat surprising, as PPAC isn't exactly a tour hotspot (usually the 2nd/3rd swing of a tour hits Providence). However, PPAC is a favorite theater of mine, so I don't mind!
It's already been brought up, but I just hope that Putnam County and Light in the Piazza don't play huge 2,000+ seat houses. They're just not right there. They're much mroe intimate pieces, and they'd be ruin like the Urinetown tour that played the same theatres Lion King did.
does anyone else find the abbreviation "25APCSB" a little more than obnoxious? can't we just say spelling bee?

Amen to that, CATS! I think YAGMCB works, but 25APCSB makes me think too hard. it's just Spelling Bee.

It took my a while to get "25APCSB" Anyways, I agree about the theater sizes, but a lot of cities, like mine for instance, don't really have any smaller houses to play at. We only have a concert hall and that's it. After that it goes down to like really scaled down theaters like 300-400 ppl maybe. So there's a sit down in DRS? Weird choice for a sit down. I thought not a lot of shows did well in Toronto.
