Mildred, where did you see Les Mis being extended? If it is, their own website doesn't have it up yet. I see they extended into September to the Jefferson in Alabama, but nothing about Seattle listed.
9 to 5 needs to tour in the New England area. I think In The Heights will become non-equity. They told me on Facebook that they had unannounced dates after their stop in Miami, but Jose-Luis Lopez (G. Pete) said that it stops in Miami.
Oldschool, I'm a subscriber at the 5th and it was in my renewal mailer as a teaser to subscribe. They're apparently announcing their full season tomorrow.
Erm, maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago threetwoone? It didn't have the full season, just Les Miz announced. I'll assume they'll be doing another, it only had option to subscribe to full season.
Also their postcard for the season announcement event tomorrow night had the cast of Les Miz on it.
I've heard RENT too. The tour was just here. Seems a tad unnecessary.
They're so up and down with their choices. I hope they do a Sondheim since they have the local rights to all his shows and nobody else is allowed to do em until 5th does.
The Addams Family is going on tour. I believe MDQ is too. Rock of Ages, I assume, will still be going.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert
It's believed that the A Chorus Line tour will end in Newark on May 1.
A Chorus Line revival 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. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
Our local theatre books some very, how shall I put it, "non-exciting" tours and I really hope In the Heights extends and goes non-equity, or South Pacific. The theatre only books weekend-only engagements. This year's line up was: "Beauty and the Beast" (bleh), "A Chorus Line" (I liked it), "Fiddler on the Roof" (who? what?), "Spamalot" (boring), and "Burn the Floor" (Sure). I pray "Grease" DOES NOT stop by. But what can we expect for a conservative, valley city who doesn't know the unconventional music of Jonathan Larson or Sheik/Sater? (Any idea if "Spring Awakening" will extend?)
This is a thread I started that has information about cities that have already announced their 2011- 2012. So far only San and Diego and Dallas have announced.

Boston is getting 9 to 5 tour Aug. 23rd-28th, 2011 Opera House. Mamie Parris originally had that tour date on her site, however it has since been removed. I believe it is also going to the Wolf Trapp.
