Very happy for my theater pals Rachel York and Chuck Wagner setting sail with the Anything Goes Tour. There's a nice article about Rachel who will be taking her 18 mos. old daughter on tour. Google for that article.

Here's the link for the show schedule:

Seeing this in November and I can't wait. I absolutely LOVED the revival when is saw it with Sutton Foster as Reno last year. Rachel York is going to be great.

It's a Kiss Me, Kate reunion! They were on tour together.

I'm always intrigued by itineraries like that one.

Damnit, these things never come to Boston.

It's not even coming to Hartford or Providence; the lack of Northeast bookings in obvious cities is so strange. Schenectedy, but not Boston? Crazy.

I guess we can only hope that the tour does well and they extend it to other cities.

Wilmington, DE, not Philadelphia? Psh.

Might the fact that this is on a SETA contact impact locations?

That seems to be same headshot Chuck Wagner used 25 years ago in INTO THE WOODS.

Last time I saw Chuck Wagner, he was in the Ringling Bros circus. Once as a family cast member and the other as ringmaster! Still in fabulous vocal form.

Somewhere on YT, there is a hilarious yet terrific video of him singing "Dancing Queen" during a circus rehearsal.

Thanks for the link, lovesclassics. I was hoping for a Philly stop too. Wilmington DE is about 31 miles from Philly and the closest stop.

Rachel should be wonderful in this! Nothing like a giant beauty with long legs and all that dancing...and yes Chuck still looks and sounds GREAT! The man has chickens and a garden at his Florida home. He's really something!

"Only time will tell if Equity screwed the pooch on this one. The cast might make more on overages on the SETA tier than they would have with a straight salary on a larger tier...."

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but how would the actors making more through the overage participation than they would have if it had been full production show that Equity "screwed the pooch" with the SETA contract? If anything I would say that it shows that the SETA contract is pretty successful.

Saw Sutton twice, and looking forward to seeing this production in SF soon. This is one of my all time favorite shows....

Wagner didn't use the same headshot for Into the Woods (I checked) but it is definitely not recent.

No this is not Chuck's recent headshot. If you are looking for recent candid shots of Chuck search him on Facebook. He's been posting a lot of fun shots now that he's back in NYC rehearsing for the show. He still look pretty good, imo.

Philly is a quick, easy, cheap commute to NYC. Many theatre people who would be interested in seeing Anything Goes in philly would gladly take the train into NYC for a day to see it on broadway.

Same goes for Boston.

But Wilmington, DE? And Schenctety? (sp?) Different story.

A friend of mine is from Wilmington, DE and is able to get direct transport from NYC to Wilmington when she goes to visit her family. It's not that difficult, and anyone who really wanted to see the show could easily get from New York to Wilmington via mass transit, as easily as you would get from NYC to Philly. It's a two-hour train trip.

I'd much rather take a 20-minute ride on the T to see a show in Boston than spend 9 hrs r/t on a bus to see a show in NYC. Just sayin'.

^Exactly
I'm very interested to add another signature to my Into the Woods playbill and the show isn't open anymore, so it's not like I can drive four hours to NYC and see it. I get that they want to expose the magic of theatre to everyone, but I think to show would make more in Boston or Philly than Bumhole, Arkansas.
