I am excited for the tour. The cast looks great.

This may be a stupid question but does the alternate work the same way on tour as it worked on Broadway (the matinees)?

Buenos Aires will be very underpopulated if this is the complete cast list. 24 cast members? Cheap producers.....I heard from a reliable source that the salaries are laughably low.

I thought the same thing, evic. They have certainly downsized for the tour. A very exciting cast though!

gavyj, the Broadway schedule for the Eva alternate was actually Wednesday evenings, and Saturday matinees.

Crap...no stops in Boston!

Thanks, Fella. I thought it looked weird when I typed it.

Regardless, can we expect that schedule for the alternate while on tour or is there a special schedule for the tour?

Dang, go Krystina! I remember when she was a swing in the Spring Awakening tour years back. Does the Mistress ever understudy eva?

Brettarbet, the mistress usually is part of the chorus, does her solo, and returns to the chorus.

From Providence to Greenville, people will be asking, Who?, Who?, and Who? Good luck if the tour makes it to L.A.

Also heard about this tour having seriously low salaries and it is not on a great contract...I know someone who had to turn it down because they would be losing money with their current circumstances.

That being said, Caroline is gonna kill it!

He's a big young for Peron, yeah?

If he can sing the role, that's nothing that a wig and make-up can't fix.

I'm excited to see Josh Young again. I loved him in Superstar at the La Jolla Playhouse.

Mattbrain, I was so bumped it was coming to Boston either! I guess we'll just have to make a stop in Providence! :)

I had no idea about Caroline being Eva on the tour! I saw her in the tour of Spamalot as The Lady of the Lake and she is a stunner. She will do marvelous.

I just absolutely love her tone

She sounds terrific!

This looks VERY promising. I will definitely be seeing the tour multiple times when it hits my city. One of my favorite musicals and favorite revivals.

I saw Decicco as Eva so it's always weird when I hear someone sing Star QualiEEEY as opposed to QualiTAYYYY.

A video from a press rehearsal. Caroline sounds great and I really like the set!

How in the hell did they get away with filming and posting that? Seems like there would be copyright issues.

Posted: 9/5/13 at 5:29pm

Really? You liked that? I thought it was rather bland.

[CATSNYrevival]

Posted: 9/5/13 at 5:40pm

^The cast did seem a little low on energy. And I hope that was just a rehearsal band and not a reduced orchestration.

[Visceral_Fella]

Hmmmm..... I understand all of the circumstances, but I can't say that I enjoyed that. There were moments, but as a whole it didn't do much for me.

[bwayphreak234]

Posted: 9/5/13 at 8:33pm

Set is definitely modified, but it still looks very grandiose... Carolyn's voice already sounds tired. That last note was a little rough.

I thought it was rather bland.

I must agree. Also her voice is SOOOO heavy!

Anyone seeing the tour tonight?
