"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Ain't Misbehavin' Tour isn't scheduled to start for another 5 months [Nov]. Anything could happen between now and then. It could get canceled or something. I don't think they should get credit for something that hasn't happened yet.

Anwar Robinson is also currently in the Rent tour.

FYI: Fedorov and Maroulis is the correct spelling for the last names of two of the idols you have listed.

Thanks. I still feel like I am missing an obvious one...
