Yikes. That is over 2000 seats and really can’t be shrunk for plays like they do for golden gate. I wonder why they are squeezing this show between color purple and school of rock. What is at golden gate? To bad curran doesn’t have a season.

I had hoped that Carole Shorenstein Hays would be able to snag it for the Curran. A much better venue and the show would fit with the types of productions she's seeking.

Taylor mac? You could have had a season of bright star, the humans, love never dies and the red shoes. That would have been a nice subscription package.

From where we sit, some of those theaters are too big for plays

What a terrible idea to book a play into the 2,200-seat Orpheum in S.F. ... Or into the 2,300-seat Cadillac in Chicago.

And it's going to the 2,084-seat Ahmanson in L.A. (But I read that it can be reconfigured to 1,600 seats for a play.)

By contrast, ''The Humans'' opened on Broadway at the 1,080-seat Schoenfeld ... and then moved to the 597-seat Helen Hayes.

It went to Hayes first and then schoenfeld because Hayes renovation was starting.

I'm used to seeing shows move from larger theaters to smaller ones (like ''Mamma Mia!'' went from the Winter Garden to the Broadhurst).

Can't answer your questions, but it does look like a good cast

We're not getting the tour - but there's a local production next month. In a theater that seats about 600, I think.

A question--while the show may have additional cities not yet announced--there are 4 different gaps/open week(s) on the schedule--do the actors on tour with the show paid for some or all the off weeks?

If assume they will book those dates

It could be that a subscription announcement needs to be made for a venue before printing in a list like this. That has happened in San Fran that they want to announce the subscription package first. If this is an equity tour, i believe that actors are paid for weeks not booked unless it extends beyond several weeks where the production would probably officially shut down and relaunch. I wouldn't be surprised if actors aren't paid in Non equity tours.
