I did one and had a blast.
First off, there will be one marriage or marriage equiv breakup and another will form! There's a good chance that it will be closet-no-more for someone also. Then there are the tour relationships. They will end when the tour does.
You will see parts of the country that have here-to-fore only been on a map.
Be flexible. If you fight the way you are touring you will hate it. It is up to you to make it work.
Take a cheap pillow. You will learn the best way to sleep on a bus. Comfortable clothes and shoes are a must.
We became pretty good bowlers. The "I" states (Indiana, Illinois, Iowa) are conducive to bowling.
Remember that you are doing this tour for a finite amount of time and not the rest of your life. You will learn how to adapt to different performing spaces and how to do a good show when you are dead tired. You will learn how to simply explain any quick changes to new dressers sometimes six times a week in six differing towns. You will come off a B+T as a pro if you're smart, savvy and play your cards right.
Have fun. If you can't have fun, what's the point?
There are five terms that can be applied to the theatres: new, old, restored, clean, dirty. No more than three will ever apply. Each town will be about where food is after the performance. Denny's will become your best friend. If nothing is open, room service or buy a sandwich for after the show.
