When tours close...

When tours close are the producers obliged by the same rules as if the show were on broadway? Where they have to give the cast and crew at least a week in advance notice and what not?

I imagine if it's an equity tour, then all rules that apply to broadway shows, apply to the tour show.

When tours close...

I wouldn't assume the rules for Broadway and equity tours are "the same", but, yes, there is some notice requirement and equity members have to be returned to their city of origin.

This was a prime motivation in the founding of Actors Equity a century ago: producers commonly blew through their grosses and then left actors stranded wherever they were when the money ran out. (The first scene of ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY deals with this in a comic way.) The last I heard, producers of equity tours had to put up bonds with AEA to cover severance and transportation for actors when the tour closes.
