I am deeply disappointed that I could not see Ben Platt in Parade.  Is it going on tour?   If so, hopefully it will come here to south Florida.

No tour has been announced. I highly doubt a tour would happen (and it almost certainly wouldn't be with Ben Platt), but perhaps a regional company in your area will produce their own production of it.

Alex Joseph Grayson said the show was touring on a live on Instagram, but there hasn’t been an official confirmation from the production since then.

I’m not sure why we’re so quick to write off Platt (unless he’s said himself that he’s done) - he has a background in touring with his own music, and is in demand from the fantastic turn with this revival. They would make bank, if even for a major city/limited tour, and he doesn’t have any film or TV projects lined up. It would be a lovely win-win.

… and he doesn’t have any film or TV projects lined up.

How the f**k can you rassume this? Just because nothing is listed on his IMDb page has zero relevancy to projects he can be attached to, etc. First, there’s an ongoing strike so anything and everything is on pause, including confirmed projects.

How “the f*ck” can I assume it? You answered your own question, at the end of your silly angry post: 

“there’s an ongoing strike so anything and everything is on pause, including confirmed projects.”

THAT is how I can assume. He has no filmed work schedule for the rest of the year, and onward at this point. Because he can’t. Go enjoy your IMDB.

It's rumoured for a London run next year (spring/summer) with the original leads

Is there really a need to talk to someone like this?

I'm sorry you didn't get to see this incredible revival in New York. Typically, the leads on Broadway don't tour but a tour may happen at some point. Unfortunately, due to Florida's anti-LGBTQ laws, restrictions on access to reproductive health care, its repeal of gun safety laws and racial prejudice, I don't see this production coming to you.

Thanks Sutton.  You should know that there is a huge audience in Florida that disagrees with our governor’s policies, and love Broadway shows.  I have watched Parade on YouTube and will eventually see it live on stage.

I think you are severely underestimating the subscribing audiences for the several tour presenters in Florida. Magats and Ronrats aren’t subscribing to the Broward Center. They’re going off watching nascar or getting wasted at Applebees.

If you think I was talking about the residents of Florida and not the human beings involved in the production, you are delusional.

Leaving aside whether or not a tour of this revival of Parade is happening, are you trying to imply that current tour producers/booking teams are boycotting Florida venues? Because that is certainly not currently happening.
