National Tour Advice???

Posted: 12/26/04 at 4:17pm

I was wondering about the quality of National Tour Productions. I am interested in seeing Hairspray and Wicked. Any opinions on how the National Tour shows hold up?

Anyone know where Wicked is touring?

I would imagine that both these tours are/will be first class all the way.

I know Hairspray is just as wonderful. The only quality that might be lower on a national tour is the look of the show.

Whos Jenna Leigh Green playing in Wicked? (Pardon my ignorance, I ignored all posts of speculation debating who would fill the Wicked National Tour roles)

She's playing Nessarose and understudying Elphaba. I really hope I get a chance to see her as Elphaba (or even Nessa.)

Why do we play with fire? Why do we run our fingers through the flame? Why do we leave our hands on the stove, although we know we're in for some pain? -tick...tick...BOOM!

I saw the national tour of Hairspray at the Pantages in Hollywood and the Broadway production a month later. There is no difference in quality, at least in this case. Some shows which require very intricate sets may have a less elaborate set on tour, but Hairspray and Wicked are both first-class Equity tours, not overnight bus-and-truck ones (though those too can be good) so don't hesitate to see either of them.

rent is a bus and truck tour and that set was phenominal, and the cast is far better and fresher feeling than the broadway company
