With less then 3 week until the tour begins I thought there should be a J&H thread. Sept 7-30 ~ La Mirada CA Oct 2-7 ~ San Diego, CA Oct 9-21 ~ Houston, TX Oct 23-28 ~ Tampa, FL Oct 30-Nov 4 ~ Buffalo, NY Nov 6-11 ~ Charlotte, NC Nov 14-18 ~ Toronto, ONT Nov 20-25 ~ Washington DC Nov 27- Dec 2 ~ Detroit, MI Dec 4-18 ~ Dallas, TX Dec 26-30 ~ Philadelphia, PA Jan 1-6 ~ Providence, RI Jan 8-13 ~ Durham, NC Jan 15-20 ~ Oklahoma, OK Jan 22-27 ~ Tulsa, OK Jan 29-Feb 10 ~ Denver, CO Jan 12-Feb 3 ~ Los Angeles, CA Feb 5-10 ~ Des Moines, IA Feb 26-31 ~ West Palm Beach, FL
they play every stop for at least a week. I don't think they'll be all that tired. plus I would guess the company will get a week off before heading to Broadway.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
**also, your last three tour dates you have are incorrect. they should be:
Feb 12-Mar 3 ~ Los Angeles, CA Mar 5-10 ~ Des Moines, IA Mar 26-31 ~ West Palm Beach, FL

Week stays can also be grueling, 8 shows and then a day of travel. I wonder what the set will be like that can be put up so quickly and how will that set look on the Great Wide Way?
Is this coming to Broadway next year, after the tour? I'm actually kind of excited about this, but also a bit doubtful about it at the same time. I loved Jekyll & Hyde when I saw it on Broadway (either in 1999 or 2000), and the cast recording is one of my favorites. Robert Cuccioli's Jekyll/Hyde voices are amazing, he really nailed the role! I know they are making lots of changes to the show, so hopefully it'll still be great. I'll definitely go see it when it comes to Broadway.
The show will be arriving in April of 2013 for a limited engagement on Broadway following the tour.
I'm very excited for the show to come back - with two great leads, a seemingly great design scheme and a fantastic score, hopefully nothing can go too array!

It's not uncommon for a touring set to be able to go up in a day and a half. The majority of tours out there accomplish it and have done so for quite some time. Not every show is a Lion King or Phantom that needs an extended load in.
Bumping this thread since it was the 1st to discuss the upcoming tour which is just 6 days away from their first performance, the dress rehearsal on September 6th at the La Mirada Theatre.
Haven't been following this tour. Will it be the same, musically, as the B'way production or will the put stuff back in frlm the concept cd. I am SO glad I saw the pre Broadway tour.
I'll be there next friday. Very much looking forward to it!

Uncageg: The tour is a "revisal" - not a revival per say as they've tweaked with the piece as a whole, but you can expect some fan favorite songs like "I Need to Know" and "Bring on the Men" will be included!
