No stops in Texas, gosh darn!  Does anyone know if this is an Equity production?  https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/A-CHORUS-LINE-Announces-2018-National-Tour-Launching-January-20-20180103

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

With a tour schedule like that it is definitely non-equity

It's definitely non-equity. I know several people in the cast. The tour will also play Japan, Korea & China in July and August.
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 will be starting up in Somerville, NJ on January 20, 2018. The tour continues through Sarasota, FL(Apr 24-25); Panama City, FL(Apr 27); Jacksonville, FL(Apr 28); Kansas City, MO(May 29-Jun 3); then touring throughout Asia in June - August.

This tour schedule is brutal. Reminds me of that Amazing Grace tour, but since A Chorus Line is more taxing on the body (and needs extensive rehearsal to get that choreography down), this one might not do so hot. Hoping for the best!

There's no way those small towns can support equity wages.

Are you talking about such "small" towns as Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Fort Worth?

Lol, Texas is the second largest state population wise.

Obviously not since those cities are not listed as stops on this tour.

Jacksonville is tired as hell, but it certainly is not a small town.

It looks like MadonnaMusical meant the small towns that are announced on the tour schedule in this press release.. Easton, PA, Morristown, NJ etc..  Not referring to Dallas, Houston, Jacksonville, etc..

There are plenty of similar sized tour markets in TX that could be on this itinerary (there are a few gaps in dates in April and all of May, so they may show up if Big League and its bookers can come to terms with any of them..)  Corpus Christi, Harlingen, Katy, El Paso, Austin (The Long Center), San Antonio (Tobin Center), Midland/Odessa, Lufkin, Galveston, Abilene, Amarillo and Lubbock, are all similar sized Texas markets, some even suburbs of the Houston/Dallas metro's, that the previous non-eq tours of A Chorus Line have played (Ft. Worth and Tyler had engagements in 2011 in the Non-Eq year of the 2006 revivals' tour life).

Add up the number of performances - less than twenty-five?
