Where can I find info about a touring production of Steel Magnolias?

Question

I just saw the movie, so I decided to look it up of wikiedia. According to it, there will be a touring production of it in 2007/2008. I would LOVE to take my mom sister and grandmother to see it. But I cant find any info about it. Any suggestions??

And thank you in advance.

Answer 1

I  suggest  you  do  a  little  bit  of  M'lynn's monologue  from  the  cemetary  scene.  The one  that  starts  off  when  she  says  she  can  run  all  the way to  Texas  but  her daughter  never  could.  Good  luck

Answer 2

unfortunately, the touring production never came into being. At least, not yet. Hopefully the plans will come through soon, but it is unknown whether or not it will happen.

The broadway play showed its last showing at the Lyceum in 2005 (I'm so glad I got to see it before then).

I would reccomend keeping an eye out for local off-broadway types of shows that would be doing it. A theatre in my town did a special engagement of Steel Magnolias starring Sally Struthers, and Ruta Lee, for a week last February, and it was just as good as the Broadway version in my opinion, and Ruta Lee was an awesome Clairee (plus I got to sit alot closer, for the same price!!).
