Overview
- Producers announced on Thursday that the previously postponed North American tour will launch this fall at Playhouse Square in Cleveland with casting now complete.
- Collin Matthew Flanagan will play Tommy Walker, with Zach Fogel as Captain Walker and Mia Bergstrom as Mrs. Walker.
- Supporting principals include Peyton Cassity as Uncle Ernie, Kyle McFalls as Cousin Kevin, Kris Lyons as the Acid Queen, Audrey Fisher as Sally Simpson, and Mari Grossmann as Little Tommy.
- The production will feature an onstage rock band led by guitarist Talia Rose, bassist Cat Barker and drummer Kelvin Newell, with Calvin Hitchcock as music director and Gregory Franz as associate music director playing keys.
- The tour is a non-Equity production that was postponed from an earlier launch and will visit cities such as Denver, Los Angeles, Houston and Seattle, a choice that affects local hiring and union contracting for performers and venues.
