The Ahmanson never confirmed the Spring Awakening tour. They sent an announcement to subscribers confirming Once on This Island - so I am more hopeful.
The same thing happened with premium tickets in SF and LA. The released some a few days before the show and lowered the price until people bought them. I think the lowest they went was about $200. My friend saw the tour in Denver and got some great premium seats for $298 a couple days before the show. I am guessing it will be different in each city. Since a lot of these tour venues have 3,000 to 4,000 seats, I am sure they are still making plenty of mo

I saw Isa Brionnes as Natalie in two different productions of Next to Normal in the LA area last year. She was pretty amazing and won an Ovation award. She is pretty young - so I am having a hard time picturing her as sexy Maria. I bet she will be great though.
I heard some audio from this touring company and Shoba sounds fantastic as Eliza. I thought Nik Walker sounded great as Burr too. How was he in person?
I am also a huge fan of the Great Comet - but I know it won't be revived on Broadway anytime soon. I am just hoping for some sort of tour or regional production out here in California.
grumpyoptimist - thanks for the rundown. I am a huge Michael Luwoye and Joshua Henry fan. I have only seen Lin and Leslie in the roles on video - but there was something very special about the OBC.
Gotta say I'm a little disappointed. I'm sure it will be good, but I was really looking forward to Crazy for You.

Julia Harriman will be taking over the role of Eliza. Joshua Henry mentioned it at his concert in December and there have been hints of it on social media. Of course, there has been no official announcement because apparently Hamilton doesn’t feel the need to do those.
I haven't seen any reports that Carl has actually gone on as Burr in LA. Michael's last show is today, so they will also be without a permanent Hamilton unless they have someone lined up and haven't shared it. For a show making so much money, their casting of replacements seems sloppy at best.
When I went to the stage door in LA earlier this month, it was pretty low key. I find that the stage door for tours don't get very crazy unless there is a major star (like Darren Criss in Hedwig had a crazy line).

It doesn’t surprise me that Ryan Alvarado was horrible as Burr because he was awful as Hamilton. All of my friends who saw him (theater people and non-theater people) complained about his performance. I am hoping he doesn’t become the principal Hamilton because he is very out of place with an otherwise talented cast. My friends saw Vasquez as Burr today and said he was wonderful.
