Shrek3 said: "It was announced on playbill.com months ago. Daniel Radcliffe is playing Hedwig on tour. "
This has to be a joke. Maybe they're thinking that because Hedwig was Harry Potter's owl's name, they think that means he's going on tour...I'm so confused with this post!

I almost teared up at the thought.

Where is there a list of cities/dates the tour will be at?
Posted: 2/16/16 at 4:19pm
Are there any stops beyond LA, Chicago, Denver, and San Francisco that have been confirmed? I'm interested to see if they'll be hitting any of the smaller markets. Either way, I'm really happy to see this coming to fruition.

it's also currently scheduled for San Diego from November 29 - Dec. 4.
San Francisco: October 4 - 30, 2016
Los Angeles: November 1 - 27, 2016

I find myself shaking my head in dis-belief at some of the things you post FN------but this response-GENIUS !----How long did it take you to work it out? I spluttered into my Bali coffee whilst gazing out over blooming frangipani trees-and catching up on BWW goss.

It took me no longer than the ones you shake your head at. It's all pasta at the wall. Some of it sticks.

I am surprised there has been no cast announced yet....i feel like the would boost ticket sales.

I expect the casting announcement will come sometime mid-spring, likely in April or so. There are still a ton of national touring venues that have yet to announce their upcoming seasons, but they should all be out and public by the end of March—the latest. I doubt the Hedwig team would want to make a mass casting announcement without regional audience members knowing whether or not the show would even be heading their way fo' sho' yet.

In most of the places where it has been announced, they are selling season subscriptions at this point, not tickets. So, the show names are usually enough to get people on board. Unless it is a case like Idina touring with If/Then, most regions are usually happy seeing the productions they didn't get to see on Broadway but heard about...

I've bought opening, a few random shows, and closing as of now for SF and am eagerly awaiting a casting announcement to see whether I want to buy more tickets.

Jesus.

I am happy Hedwig will be touring but it's hard to imagine seeing it in the Oriental. All our houses are just too big for this show. I can't imagine being in the balcony for this.
Although I sat in row Z for Beautiful and it was a much better view than I expected.

Are they kidding with those "prime" orchestra and loge prices in San Francisco? I guess they're counting on the tech millionaires to come and talk to each other and text for 90 minutes or something?
Posted: 2/19/16 at 12:24am
Probably. Then two months before opening it'll show up on Goldstar. SHN is a mess.
Posted: 2/19/16 at 12:28am
Who could they possibly cast who could command those prices?

John Cameron Mitchell.
I mean that's a personal opinion not shared by the world at large, but still.
Have you ever seen the prices at a place like Pantages? It is nuts. I'm scared for what shows like Hamilton will command.

ChildOE, they didn't charge that when he went in on the Broadway.

I am hoping Dallas fits somewhere in that Denver to Durham gap from mid-December thru late January. It would make geographical sense and Dallas has a huge gay community. We will have our ATTPAC announcement in about two weeks. Saw NPH in NY, but I sure would be excited if JCM did the tour.
Posted: 3/4/16 at 12:32pm
But like...when are they gonna tell us who is playing HEDWIG?! The delay makes me nervous.
