Thoughts? This seems to be a tiny tour. They aren't even going to the West Coast.

TheatreFan4:
"While there has been no official word, a New York production has been rumored for this upcoming holiday season at a Broadway house as of yet unknown. Casting for the tour has not been announced."

Posted: 8/21/09 at 1:57amWell any tour of the show is bound to be a short tour. There are only so many cities you can hit in the holiday season.

Posted: 8/21/09 at 2:02amTrue, but they could have split up the time more so they could reach more cities. Cost might have been an issue, which is why the tour was probably limited to the mid-West area.

It's a matter of cost and time. Most tour performance schedules are Tuesday through Sunday evening. That means you need to route your tour so that your trucks are leaving one city late Sunday night/early Monday morning and able to reach the next venue to start load in Monday morning or early afternoon at the latest.
And you never know. They may add a West coast tour or sit down somewhere. They have had multiple companies each year after all.

Posted: 8/21/09 at 7:08amConsidering they've done 2-3 sit down productions nationally of this show since it's incarnation, a tour kind of makes sense.

Posted: 8/21/09 at 8:20amHasn't this been known for a while now? I knew about this last May when Broadway Across America sent out our season. I could have broken news then?
