US Tour 4

The Fourth US Tour opened in March 1987 and ran until 1999, touring the United States as well as parts of Canada.

It was also called the "Second Bus and Truck" Tour and originated from the Los Angeles (or US Tour II) production.

It was produced by Cameron Mackintosh, The Really Useful Company Limited, David Geffen and The Shubert Organization.

This production had Mistoffelees singing the second verse of his song himself, and thus having the dance break come after the second verse, rather than before.
