I have always wanted to see it, and now that Aida has closed, i am heartbroken.... enough of my sorrow, does anyone know if they might do a tour of the show??
thanks for responses..
I am not myself, but i become a character in itself, to only hope that my transformation is not of me, but of whom i characterize myself to be..

For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Hm. Maybe if there's one in Jersey I'll venture out and see it... or maybe I should just leave it at last night.
Oh well... I've got time.

Posted: 9/6/04 at 2:36pmI think the upcoming tour was cancelled. Its a shame, as I was going to see it here. I think it had something to do with the Equity/Non Equity battle.

According to the Greensboro Venue...
http://www.theaterleague.org/greensboro/index.html
So this is a regional theatre production, or the tour?

Posted: 9/6/04 at 5:22pmEmcee, we hardly ever get tours in Jersey being so close to NYC. But the closest thing to me is either Philly or Baltimore. If one comes this way we will definately take a road trip!
Though scattered and divided we are still its heart...AIDA SEPTEMBER 5th, 2004...one more longing backward glance...

Posted: 9/6/04 at 5:51pmThe first national tour ended last summer. Disney recently released the rights to the show, so any tours you see now are regional and non-equity tours. There definitely are other companies putting on the show. A few places have already put it on. From what I hear, they'll be scaled down versions of the show...not nearly as elaborate as what you're used to seeing.

"the tour will kepp going on check browadwayacrossamerica.com it will tell you everything about tours"
No it won't...BroadwayAcrossAmerica is a company that books shows for theatre's involved with their program. The only dates that are listed on BAA.com are for cities that are part of the "Broadway in _________" program. Gosh, I wish people would realize that. That is why I created my site.
The upcoming Aida tour was canceled due to non-Equity issues. It was going to be produced by Big League Theatricals.

Posted: 9/6/04 at 10:44pmIt would be non-Equity anyways...not the Broadway production. Don't give up hope...their web site says it is postponed.

Posted: 9/6/04 at 10:46pmI saw it in Denver in July 2001. I think it also played in San Francisco or San Jose sometime in the last year or so. So yeah, it's been around a lot of places.

Yes, I know. But it's better than no production at all.
