I am attempting to stay current on the Troika Tour of CATS for the Forum Members. I have a section reserved for the Tour Dates & Locations and Current Cast on my website in this section: US TOUR ...

I usually scan TicketMaster and the Troika Site for ticket sales and theater seasons, as well as the GOOGLE for "Performing Arts +CATS", but things will slip through the cracks. I will probably not be able to find them all...

You can help me keep this updated by:

1. Reporting dates & location to me that are not on my list, or need correction.

2. Reporting Cast List or updates of the Cast as they become known.

3. Reporting if an appearance is TROIKA or REGIONAL.

Please keep the postings pertinent to the three points above, and leave comments out. Post here, or send me a PM or E-Mail.

Thank you in advance.

in the thread titled "Lucky Me" it was reported that Troika would have a new schedule on their site in August

[Rumblepurr]

Looking forward to it. I do check the itinerary section on TROIKA's site periodically. I hope we shall see a lot better hits around the country than I have so far...

The itinerary from TROIKA ENTERTAINMENT is out on their website. Just GOOGLE the name in blue.

I have only placed those dates that are CONFIRMED by venue, TicketMaster or CheapTickets. Look for the Theaters marked with a "#" for the new ones.

Note: Between 11/11 and 12/21 - the Tour will be in Central and South America...

the new props master (which is the master of the train?) is named Shawn... I didn't catch his last name today during load in, but his first name is shawn! I was trying to take a peak at the new people on the cast on the sound board (I loaded in sound) but they still had the old names on it. I work props for the rest of the week so I'll do updates with names, etc, when I can.

FYI, the type of set they will be doing the shows at Bezemes will be the bouncy while the hard will be shipped to chicago (from what I have heard today from one of the local carps who talked with the troika carp.) They will tech with the hard until Tuesday then load it up and ship it out.

[Stargazer]

Shawn Riley is the props master/train master. I will hopefully get the rest of the cast tomorrow... I will snoop a bit when I'm doing nothing during the day while working props There is a laminated sheet with pictures and names/characters floating around and I read it every day but I don't really... read it. Haha.
