US Tour 5 Troika

The fifth US Touring production was staged by the non-Equity Troika Productions and ran from 2001 - 2012. The tour set a gruelling pace, often stopping only one night in a location, and performing two, sometimes three shows per stop.

Production Specifics
As a production descended from Broadway, it resembled that show more than the London/Video look favoured by European productions. The production ran without the "Pekes and Pollicles" number, and a reduced cast of 20 - for the majority of the run Coricopat and Tantomile were not included.

The costumes used for the run were made by Troika's in-house costume department, and have a distinctive pale, bright look to the designs.
