NYC -- The producers of "Monty Python's Spamalot" told their production team that if they couldn't take the show on tour, they wouldn't open on Broadway.
It's that important.
Half of the Broadway audience is outside NYC, reached through tours and subscription seasons.
"Spamalot" obviously solved its weighty chain mail issue and is touring with great success, including two sold-out weeks here in Tampa earlier this season.
Another presenter talked about how important it was for thought-provoking works such as "Doubt," with actresses such as Cherry Jones, to tour the country in artistically unifying events.
He likened it to a Harry Truman-like whistlestop political tour. "It's like she's running for election ... and I think she'd win."
"Doubt" will be at TBPAC later this month. -- Michael Kilgore/TBPAC
