Re: New BETM Tour in 2015?

Post by porschesrule »

It appears a second stop on a new BETM tour has been announced. The Victoria Theatre Association announced its 2014-15 season early Thursday evening at a dessert reception at the Schuster Center’s Wintergarden in Dayton, Ohio. The Star Attractions season, in addition to “Book of Mormon” and “Wicked,” will include Elton John’s “Billy Elliot.”

Seems Billy Elliot will be played in Dayton Ohio over Thanksgiving weekend in 2014. As of now, I guess we have to assume it is a regional production.

This is not a locally produced regional production of the show. Rather, it appears to be another venue on a new short stay tour of BETM. I therefore posted it yesterday in the thread below (which is where Wichita is also posted) as there hasn't been a separate thread established for US tours other than the International Tour:

Okay, I am going to move Dayton and Raleigh into the Tour section.

For now, let's make a "rule" that if a production is one week or less, we'll assume it's part of the new tour. If it is for two weeks to a month or more, we'll put it in the Regional Productions category.

If things sort out differently, I'll move the various cities around as we learn more.

This from the Victoria Theatre in Dayton:

"Sorry to say the national tour of BILLY ELLIOT has been cancelled for the 2014-2015 season. That means it won't be here in November."
