Will there or should there be a tour of this new production? I think that if they did, during the first run, they should have Max & Laura reprise the roles.
I think a lot of people would enjoy it if Grease toured--with Laura and Max, but that is very unlikely to happen. Usually touring shows re-cast and I know Laura probably would not really want to tour as she is now married. That is harder to live that lifestyle when you're married. But traveling casts are usually great too. I've sure seen many a traveling show here in Minneapolis and enjoy them!
Oh most definitely! I try to go see shows when they come through Minneapolis/St Paul, I've seen "Hairspray", "Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat", and my personal favorite, "Thoroughly Modern Millie"! It is SUCH a treat to go see a live show, and I'm so sorry I missed seeing Laura with GREASE at the Chanhassen. Yes, that would be awesome if Max and Laura toured, but I agree with Jane: touring seems like SUCH a hard lifestyle, especially as Laura is now married. Hope everyone is having a nice night, take care! Dana
Thing is Grease is already staged in all levels of theater, high schools, summer workshops, dinner theaters, etc. It's probably one of the most popular musicals in the USA.
I know in 2008 Grease is coming to L.A. i love touring casts. Ive seen touring casts of The Producers, Joseph, and A chorus line, Lion King and much more. They are all great.
