[joanntom]

rent is going back on the road... any insight as to who will be in this tour?

[longshadowsfalling]

All I know is that it's going to be equity this time.

[joanntom]

[ElFantasma14]

What? It's going to be equity?

THANK GOD !!!! The last cast I saw was emberassing!!! It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD!!!!! A youth Theatre group could have done the show better.........

[goofy108]

what cast did you see?
the last non-equity cast was great.

[raphael06]

I agree Jonny Boy! Although I liked Mark.

I dont remember who was in the cast. It was about 4 or 5 months ago in San Diego( Escondido Center for the Arts).

The new rent tour going out is most definitely not going to be equity.

The nerw rent tour is Not equity. haha

and there are a few returning members in lead roles, and some new people in the rest. They are finishing casting on the 16th, and the tour starts in october

Let us hope that this tour will not shame the good name of Jonathan!

I saw the tour cast in May and they were terrific. Harley Jay was a great "Mark" and we all loved Jen Colby Talton as "Mimi" and Michael Ifill as "Benny".

I just hope the tour makes it somewhere near me this time around. If I have to see another Mamma Mia or Phantom billboard around town, I'm not going to be a happy girl...

I saw the tour cast in April, and then a week later saw it on Broadway. The tour cast gave a better show. That was almost solely Antonique Smith's fault, but it didn't help that Christopher J. Hanke had skipped his speech therapy or broken his grill, or whatever was wrong with him that night.

So I was satisfied with the last tour. If the next tour comes to my town again I'll be sure to buy tickets to that.

We have a few dates on sale already...only 3. And those are in like TX and MN...

the whole tour schedule hasnt come in just yet, but we should be getting it sometime around the end of July, or mid august

[bonbon]

Yeah I found out last week that it will be in Houston in November. I'll be there!
I saw the last touring cast in Richardson, TX, soon after they started touring. Since it was so close to the beginning of the tour, the energy was through the roof! I'm hoping it will be like that again since the new tour starts in October.

^Thanks but that doesn't help much. What exactly is it?
