mrdreamjeansI just got contacted by the general manager of the new National Tour of "Evita" with details of my contract offer. The "Evita" Tour begins rehearsals in NYC on October 4 and opens in Boston on Election Day (November 2). My contract will run through January 1, 2006. Despite, the concessions Actors Equity (my union), agreed to for this production, it is a contract that I can live with; indeed, I am excited about traveling about the country for another year:)
I asked the GM for cities we might be playing. The itinerary is still being put together and will change, but some of the cities we will be going to include: Boston - 2 weeks; Chicago - 2 weeks; SF - 4 weeks; Sarasota, FL; Appleton, WI (yes - really:); Chattanooga, TN; Ft Myers, FL; Spokane, WA (but not Seattle at this time, darnnit!); Milwaukee, WI; Dallas; Washington, DC; Greenville, SC, Toronto and maybe Baltimore. Las Vegas, Houston, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are possibilities.
I just checked my notes. Also penciled in on the itinerary are: Detroit - 2 weeks; Wallingford, CT; Richmond, VA and Norfolk, VA; Cleveland, OH and Atlanta, GA. I forgot to ask about Minneapolis/St Paul. I need to do that! Personally, I hope Costa Mesa, San Diego and Indianapolis make it on the schedule. I've always had a good time in these cities.
Well - I wrote a grumpy post a couple of hours ago. I still feel ill, but at least some of what's been bothering me has eased up.

Good
Date: 2004-07-13 06:21 pm (UTC)I say Damn about Seattle too, but with Spokane being on the list, I can probably make that one as it's only 3-5 drive from Seattle at best if I'm not mistaken so we could have a slight chance of hooking up for a show then if need be.
I'm glad to know you finally got the particulars on the contract and when you'll be starting and that it's for a year. Way to go.
Just keep us abreast of any changes that may transpire with the itenary so we all can plan accordingly.
Take care and I hope you feel better by tomorrow.

Date: 2004-07-13 08:03 pm (UTC)APPLETON???
OK...The Bright Lady KNOWS they're desparate for some culture, but JEEZ!
On top of that, you're coming back to Milwaukee after playing in Tennessee, Florida and Washington state...who set UP this itinerary??
Well, you'll be getting the travel you enjoy so much.
Evita's a great show! Enjoy yourself thoroughly.

Date: 2004-07-13 09:00 pm (UTC)I still think they should have started touring this show last spring, because of it political themes I think it would do better with the interest in politics this year.
Heh. Glad to hear they finally got ahold of you.
I agree
Date: 2004-07-14 09:30 am (UTC)I've played Green Bay, but Appleton? I asked her to repeat it since I was sure I had heard wrong:) Maybe we will get to Madison. They will be sending me an intinerary closer to the beginning of the tour.
Regardless, Milwaukee is on there and Chicago. We'll have some fun:)! And, yes, dear friend... I will be in NYC for your next birthday, just like I was when you celebrated your 25th. Can you spell, "Wicked"? LOL!

I could catch it SF, maybe Houston or Baltimore, but most definitely
in DC!
What role would you sing?
Re: YAAAY!!
Date: 2004-07-14 09:32 am (UTC)The Rainbow Tour (in more ways than one)
Date: 2004-07-14 07:04 am (UTC)I'll be sure to see you in Ballimer or DC. What role do you have? I'm having trouble picturing you in the Dior gown, but then again, I don't know you that well....
How Cool!
