If the show is a flop on broadway, could the show still tour? Word of mouth has been so positive...I think it would do well on a tour.

Can you tell me how you know for a fact that "word of mouth has been so positive"?

You obviously have not spoken to a number of folk that I know.

I've read many people on this board raving about it.
My niece who lives in upstate NY is coming down to see it with about 10 friends, they've heard good things.
A family that I know here in LA are in NY doing a theater trip and the show was their MUST see based on hearing that it was good.

And you are right...I clearly have not spoken to ANY of the folk that you know.

If anyone can whistle, anything can tour, but if the WOM has been so positive, where are the audiences? To me, if it can't muster an audience on Broadway, why would we expect one on tour?

Tours are different because of locked in audience for subscription base

i think it is a splashy logo and somewhat familiar title that can sell a show for 1-4 week run in subscription houses. There are many flops that tour like Pretty Woman, Tootsie, Oklahoma, Prom, Jagged Little Pill & Beetlejuice that were probably welcome additions to subscription houses. Does it make money on the road? only the producers know. But there is really no reason that it won't tour. I think Almost Famous will also for similar reasons. KimberlyA and Strange Loop are lot harder to tour because of the smallness of the show and subject matter doesn't really appeal to the masses.
