Yes, the Chicago sit-down production is being cast with all Chicago area actors. They save a ton of money thay way, since they don't have to pay per diem (living expenses).

Also, the Chicago production is in a theatre that only seats 700, and is on a special contract. The actors will earn about $700 a week - about half what a National Touring company pays, but way more than most of the other Equity theatres in town.

It's not the same production. It will be an entirely new production.

Jared is a good friend of mine. I did a show with him last year. He will be wonderful as Barfee!!!! I wish for once I didn't live on the east coast.
