Wichita, KS
The Broadway Theater League's Wichita site has announced that BETM will play there in April of 2015 -- for a very limited engagement (3 days). There are no further details about the production at this point. Stay tuned!

Re: New BETM Tour in 2015?
Trying to find out who/what is behind this................it is, shall we say, 'unconventional'.
If a major tour were truly in the works, I imagine that a 'a registered 501(c)(3) organization located in Leawood, KS and is focused in Cultural performances and Community theatrical group(i)' whose non-profit activities are listed as a 'Cultural performances , Community theatrical group(i)' would not be the first to announce it.
But let's be hopeful..................

It's 2012 Annual Report: (Scroll down to 2012 to see its promo of the 2012 BETM Toledo stop):

This is exactly what BETM needs, a promoter who will focus on children.

Here's a story in the Wichita Eagle which announces the Broadway Theater League's 2014-15 schedule there. Not really any details about BETM (the cast, etc.)

Re: New BETM Tour in 2015?
This gives me hope, but, I am confused by this as well.
Re: New BETM Tour in 2015?
It most certainly is a mystery. I have a number of Google alerts set to pick up any inkling of a new BETM tour - all I find are literally dozens and dozens of 'interesting' ticketing websites that list tickets on sale for this three day event - at some interesting prices Meanwhile, Beauty and the Beast is a current NetWorks tour with its last listed date being June 6, 2014; there is no Buddy The Buddy Holly Story tour in the US now or announced for the future; and Sister Act is not listing any tour venues after June 29th, 2014. So this venue/producer is proposing the production of three or four standalone, short duration regional productions of shows of this level of difficulty
To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, the announcement of BETM coming to Wichita in 2015 is 'a riddle wrapped in an enigma'.

Re: New BETM Tour in 2015?
These productions for short runs make no financial sense. We have to assume they will also appear in at least some of the other theaterleague seven cities. This just may be the only city to announce dates.
Impersonations required!
Those quoting Sir Winston are required to provide audio files with their impersonation of the quote (or should be in my world, anyway....).kport wrote:To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, the announcement of BETM coming to Wichita in 2015 is 'a riddle wrapped in an enigma'.
....go ahead, you know you want to.........

(And still, BETM totally avoids a stop at the Miami-Dade County PAC ..........)
Re: New BETM Tour in 2015?
Neither 'The Book of Mormon' nor 'Wicked' Tours list this site. It may be early days, or these Tours may not be the productions in question.porschesrule wrote: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.”
