I'm really excited about Tamyra Gray. I'm not into American Idol and hadn't seen her before, but she was *fantastic* when I saw her last October. It was a strong cast to begin with, but she was really a highlight.

I'm curious how this will be staged - the CITS production was so unique.

The article says there will be on-stage seating for every stop of the tour, which is exciting. After seeing this production on Broadway I can't imagine being stuck way up in the mezz or balcony of a huge theater to see this

This is shaping up to be a drop drawer tour! How exciting that Tamyra & Philip will be on board!!! Can't wait to see the restaging on a proscenium.

I think that the set will be like what they did for the Tony’s - they built a giant sandbox with bleacher style seats on the perimeter

It's interesting about the on-stage seating. I don't see any indication of it on the websites for the first few stops of the tour. I wonder how the theaters are going to handle it, will they use the seats as rush/lottery locations or will they add them in for sale at a later date? Hmmm....

(I love me some unusual seating! LOL!)

I thought Cassondra James was EXCELLENT. When I went, a lot of people were upset about missing Michelle Williams, but I was won over from the beginning
