Thanks for the info. Is this production based on the one that was on Broadway in 2000?

This is an Equity national tour, so I am assuming it is. I will be seeing the show in November...I will let you know how it is. I will be seeing it in Akron, which is the stop right before Toronto.

Unless that much has changed since I covered this in Philly...this is the same Gayle Edward's directed revival that played on B'w a few years ago with Carter,Vincent, Maya Days etc.
Natalie Toro is still playing Mary, the last time I checked. An She is very worth seeing. That's all I can tell ya about it.

Interesting that things have changed. Oh! to have Carl back as Judas.

Is Glenn Vincent the evil love child of Glenn Carter and Tony Vincent?

i'm a dumbass, musetta. i meant glenn carter. glenn vincent is a figment of my imagination.
