Welcome to showbiz, girls. You know, as a wise woman once said: "It ain't pretty".
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

Just to clarify things a bit-- I tried out for that (sucked too much to get in, though at least I got called back, and just auditioning was a lot of fun...), and they were pretty clear that it was not the National Touring Company at the audition. The press release is skewed, but they didn't put that spin on it at the auditons. Actually, they downplayed the scale of the production-- they didn't mention that most of the leads have actually been on Broadway.

Yeah, I tried out as well. It's REALLY funny to me that you guys keep talking about this. I know Alex and Shire, and they're both actually very talented, and not at all stupid. They know they're not touring.

Like when you fall asleep on a bus and wake up in another city? ^_^

Yeah, I saw the show yesterday, and I thought it was excellent. And in the big group numbers, I couldn't pick out the kids from the other actors until curtain call.

No, actually the whole cast is pretty darn tall.... the whole production, I kept thinking, "Rob Hunt (Javert) is soooo short!" and it turns out he's six feet tall. Enjolras was flipping enormous... I was in the twenty-ninth row, and I swear he was casting a shadow on me. When he punched the air, I was worried his fist would hit the ceiling. I think Marius was six foot four, accordng to someone who knows him, and even he looked short next to Enjolras and some of the extras... especially those army officer guys.

What I meant was, they went out of their way to cast kids who looked 'mature,' and the kids weren't sticking out (like overacting, underacting, going 'look at me mom,' etc.) ^_^

To me, a "Broadway tour" is a national tour that has been directed and choreographed by the original Broadway team, uses the Broadway sets, costumes and lighting (or, in the case of sets, a very close replica), and has an all Equity cast.

Not only to you, really, that is what a Broadway tour is.
