It's returning to Toronto for the 2017-2018 season. I wonder if this will lead to a North American tour. https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/stage/2017/02/28/come-from-away-returning-to-toronto-for-mirvish-next-season.html

They have been billing it as a Sit Down production, but I'm sure there will be a North American Tour. It will be interesting to see how long it's return engagement to Toronto is.

It doesn't say when it's playing, just that it's part of the next season. But I could definitely see them using the Toronto production to launch the tour.

A Chorus Line played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013.

I'm not entirely surprised. It was absolute madness trying to get a ticket for it the last time it was here.

It does appear to be an open run in Toronto. Maybe have it run for 6-9 months then launch the tour?

any chance there can be two casts? I think it's going to run for a long time in NYC.

Wonder if they will try to get Louise Pitre for the Bev Bass role?
