The Full Monty - On Tour

I heard a rumor that the current tour of "The Full Monty" has just changed to Non-Equity. This is the same tour that will be playing at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in a few weeks.

Can anyone confirm?

Which sucks because they are coming to Akron.

Sounds like you were part of The Full Monty union actors/musicians, etc.

Think how they must feel knowing they're coming to Akron.

We will be seeing it in Indianpolis this coming Saturday. We loved it on Broadway. I hope it's worth our time and money now.

Actually one of the new cast members is from Canton so at least he's looking forward to coming to Akron.

As for the equity tour closing, welcome to show biz kids, wear a helmet.

As for the cast 'not knowing,' well my friend got cast in September so HE knew and, thus, I knew, so it's not like this information was just released last Wednesday.

JohnPopa, your "Wednesday" comment? Your "September" friend? Nobody said it JUST HAPPENED. Because of your selfless, inside track guidance, I'm running out and getting helmuts for all my unsuspecting colleagues who've worked their asses off and paid dues to a union that you mock. That's show business? You're just a smart ass.

For the record, no one "knocked" the non-union tour or it's members. Anyone who's really worked in "show business" knows what it's like to be a non-union performer while striving to get THEIR union card. THAT'S SHOW BUSINESS Popa.
