The year-long tour included sitdowns at some of Asia and Europe's most prestigious venues including Singapore's Esplanade Theater on the Bay, the historic Bologna Opera House in Italy, The Dresden Semper Opera in Germany, and the notable Bunkamura Theater in Tokyo. The tour concluded in Bangkok, Thailand on October 16th, 2006, having played China, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, South Korea, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. The tour was produced by BB Promotion in Germany and was presented by BB Promotion, Sundance International, and Broadway Asia. The production was staged by Broadway choreographer Joey McKneely (The Boy from Oz, The Life, Smokey Joe's Cafe, and The Wild Party), one of three directors approved by Robbins Rights Trust to restage the original Jerome Robbins Choreography. Sean Patrick Doyle portrayed Baby John, the youngest member of the Jets. | |
