...which Lion King tour is which, Cheetah or Gazelle. The tour currently in San Fransisco is the Cheetah company and the tour currently in Columbus is the Gazelle company. I guess that makes sense...Cheetahs are a 'larger' animal and that tour hits the larger cities.

I find it funny how tours are "named". I remember after I saw the Rent tour, everyone was asking me which one I saw("Did you see the Angel tour?") and I was just like..."I saw Rent". Updated On: 6/16/04 at 12:09 AM

Well...you need to distinguish tours of the same show from one another in some way.

Especially when they are running at the same time. Does Mamma Mia! have tour titles?

IIRC it's mainly for bookkeeping purposes.
And if anyone else cares what other tours are named...

Yeah, why are tours named? I remember when "Riverdance" went on tour, there were the Lee and Lagan companies. I still have no idea which one I saw.

For bank accounts and such. That way you don't have to say "1st national, 2nd national," etc., which are easier to get mixed up.

I didn't know you were in desperate need to know which tour was which. Do you know someone in the cast?
