With two shows from this season planning tours for the 2010-2011 season (HAIR and 9to5); has there been any word on when/if Rock of Ages will start a National Tour? With its broad appeal I would think it would be a huge draw for people from across the country (Especially to people who aren't into to theatre and may not even know about the show).

I think 9 to 5, Hair, N2N, Shrek, and Mermaid are defintely, or planing to go out equity.

^ I am 99.999999% sure that those will go out Equity as well...but I can't find any proof. Guys and Dolls, on the other hand...I don't know (I'm really curious as to whether or not this tour will get on its feet).

^ Les Miz has very much so been confirmed (I'm excited, I'd LOVE to see it).
