I 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.
