there is a little buffer of a week for Newsies to extend. I don't know if the next stop is already booked starting the following week.

Pippin will be lost in the Pantage. i'm surprised Kinky Boots isn't going to the Ahmanson.

They may announce an extension, but if so, it will have already been in place and is announced later "by popular demand." There's rarely such a thing as a real "extension" with any tour because often they're already booked week-to-week ahead of time.

Tour schedules have to be mapped out WAY ahead of time. It's a carefully (and mind numbingly) thought out process.

There's a few possibilities:

1. The show IS booked in LA that week and won't announce that part of the booking until closer to opening, as a PR move.

2. The show is booked that week into another city who hasn't announced their season. Many presenters don't like the producers to list their city on a website/schedule until they themselves announce their season.

3. The show is on "layoff" that week. Not uncommon.

Can't tell from the "Newsies" website. It looks like the only city with dates booked after LA is Toronto in July -- but they may end up slotting other cities in there between the two.

I am not used to tours extending at the Pantages -- but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen.

but not actual dates. I assume Kinky Boots and Motown will also be on SHN subscription. Possibly Cinderella and Phantom.
