Prather is producing this, launching at their theater in Fort Myers, Florida. Non-equity bus and truck, but I have some confidence that his might be OK-Prather has a working relationship with Networks, who produced the last non-equity tour on the equity tour physical production package, so this is likely that tour set.
J. Michael Zygo, who I directing this, was in the original company on Broadway, and is restaging the original choreography. I'd think this will be a decent replica of the last tour. Zygo got his start in the business touring with Prather in Wedding Singer, so its full-circle back to the beginning. He's also staged a few productions of Once that have been decently reviewed.
If you don't know who he is, just go watch the NPH Bigger video. He has the first line introducing Neil.
Once is actually a show you can pretty easily go non-Equity with. The characters are mostly young, and with the exception of the two leads, you need primarily musicians rather than standard musical theater actors.
