Coming Soon!


This fold-out was included in yesterday's Tampa Tribune announcing the show's opening Jan.2.
I could only get about 2/3 of it in the scanner.

I get the impression that each unit of RBBB is doing a different show. The unit that came through Orlando last year was the Dragon show (which is going to tour another year), and we're getting this show in January. Is their business model to spread out the cost of sets, costumes etc over a two year cycle? Has it always been like this, the blue unit would run one show, the red unit another and they would tour one route one year and swap routes with the other show next year?

The artists generally sign a two year contract, the first season with an all new show that includes Madison Sq. Garden and a scenic coast to coast tour from Florida to California and back.
The second year, better known as the Rodeo Route, plays less glamorous venues such as Little Rock, Arkansas and Charleston, West Virginia.

Buckles,
Not for nothing, but there was an effort at adding glamor to the rodeo route in 1985 when the Blue Show played Bismark, North Dakota, otherwise known as the "Rough Rider State," for those of you who may not know that.
