Well many of the Elphabas/Glindas flip-flop between Wicked on Broadway and the tour. Georgia Engel who played Mrs. Tottendale in the original cast of Drowsy Chaperone toured as Mrs. Tottendale. Kyle Riabko and Blake Bashoff, formerly of the Spring Awakening tour, also played their roles on Broadway. It is not that uncommon of an occurrence...
The YF tour isn't going to sell on the basis of having 2 Tony Award-winning actors.
"We like to snark around here. Sometimes we actually talk about theater...but we try not to let that get in our way." - dramamama611
Didn't Bernadette Peters and Joanna Gleason both tour together in INTO THE WOODS and both had a Tony?
As humorous as the original posting was -- I am now DETERMINED to find a recent tour which included in its cast three or more Tony winners...
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. 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."
--Aristotle
Gwen Verdon, Chita Rivera and Jerry Orbach all reprised their roles in the tour of the original CHICAGO. To the best of my knowledge, Barney Frank has never appeared in a musical on or off Broadway.
Unless you count the Washington Follies.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)
Both Gwen Verdon and Richard Kiley went on tour with REDHEAD following their wins as Best Actress/Best Actor In A Musical.
