Posted: 6/27/06 at 12:09amYes, I think this has been news for a while...if you want, there's a thread on the non-Equity tour of Hairspray I can try to find.

I found this in another thread regarding Hairspray:
"Just to clarify.....yes, there is a Non-Equity tour that will soon follow. They are being produced by NETWorks. They are starting in Atlantic City with the 90 minute "Vegas" version and supposedly continuing with the full length version of the show.
Well, I actually know a little more than that but that's all I feel that I should say.
Thank you again to broadwayworld and it's members for your support for the past 3 years.

Posted: 6/27/06 at 12:28amI didn't know "The Producers" was going non-eq. Maybe I'm living under a rock. I suppose the tour closing a year a ago could have been a clue.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Posted: 6/27/06 at 12:54amI can't imagine "The Producers" being non-Equity. Not that there aren't immensely talented non-Eq performers out there (I being one of them of course!), but considering who they've gotten for some of these tours it could be quite painful to watch.
