For my new site, I am separating E and NE tours just for you guys! Can you please name some E tours out there...I know a lot, but want to double check.

Isn't it harder to name the Non-equity tours? There aren't that many.

Think POTO, Hairspray... they're big, bold, and beautifully equity.

Thanks. What is the difference between non-Equity and non-Union?

Non-Equity is just actors, non-union I suppose would be everything from stage hands to pit are not union? Correct? No? Reading too far into it?

I just found out: *NOTE: Non-Equity tours do not have contracts with AEA, but have contracts with IA, AFM and/or SSD&C. Non-union tours have no 4A's or Guild contracts.

What are the two Lion King Tours called? Chettah and Gazelle? Which one is which?

...and, from that page:

why on equity's website say that 42nd street tour is equity, i thought it wasnt.

they are out on a special reduced salary contract with equity due to the number of dancers...

I believe current Bway Peggy Sawyer Nadine Issenegger started out as Peggy on tour.
