#1Eqqus Tour Question
Posted: 4/8/07 at 1:54pmOk, so I was flipping through Theatre World 1976-1977, cause I like looking at production photos, and was caught really off guard to see three touring productions of Eqqus. Why were there three companies? Were any a sit down in like Chicago or LA that got listed as tours?

Posted: 4/8/07 at 3:29pmNot uncommon at the time. Usually one tour for longer engagements in big cities and two smaller tours for 1 and 2 week runs in smaller towns. A show like EQUUS witha small cast and unit set would be relatively easy and inexpensive to tour.
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com
