Who knew Pittsburgh had such good taste?

I think promoters will put any old flop on the road because they believe out-of-towners will pay to see anything, not knowing the difference between good and bad theatre.

I'm glad to see them proved wrong.

I have to be honest. I didn't understand why they thought this would do well on the road. that's really too bad.

^ It's true. The promoters call them "rubes" and they believe that anything that has "Direct from Broadway" attached to the advertising will attract paying audiences.

It's a non-union tour. They should have hit the smaller markets. Not Pittsburgh, but mabye Harrisburg, etc. The smaller venues will help the show.

RippedMan the show opened in my home town of York, Pa and we are only 20 minutes away from Harrisburg.
I saw the show and thought it was ok. My real question is is this something that happens a lot? Venues canceling a tour this close to when it's supposed to play? What happens to the cast and crew. They just get an unexpected vacation?

Unexpected vacation yes, but a paid vacation? Probably not.

They aren't selling single tickets for Sister Act in LA yet. However, I don't know how many people are picking it in the Flex subscriptions.

I bought a $25 ticket for Catch Me, but I wouldn't pay more than that.

Off topic, except it still the Pantages. Surprisingly, Donny and Marie at the Pantages was far better than I expected which was good as i wasn't in $25 tickets.
