It's going on tour in 2014. Easter I think

[Jon]

Probably wouldn't make sense to release the DVD in the UK so not to hurt sales for the tour, wonder the first venue will be?

Unless they sold it exclusively at venues

I know a couple of venues but not sure when or when and where the tour starts. Cant be far off announcing.  i did think it was earlier than easter though as id heard it was following a theatres panto.but that could be wrong. Shrek and billy elliot are yet to announce their tours, also i think love never dies is going out on tour. Plus further wicked and lion king venues

If its aiming for an Easter opening which in 2014 is in April, then I think it'll be announced soon although it depends if they do it like Wicked and Lion King and just announce a handful of venues or like SITR which has listed the bulk of the venues,

The staggered venue announcing seems to be an atg thing, stage entertainment seem to do all dates at once

Pity that the DVD seems to be the Broadway version and not the tour one. Although the performances were great I would have preferred the tour changes filmed. I would consider getting it imported if that was the case.

I imagine Billy Elliot won't announce the tour for another few months, if it is closing then they'll announce it after its birthday and cast change and then the tour dates a few months later.

Shrek is in Birmingham Easter 2015. Love Never Dies out on tour next year, as long as there is no revival in London. So I believe anyway.
