All shows that have multiple tours have nicknames — they’re used for bookkeeping, accounting, mail and such, which keeps things much less confusing. The Les Miz tours were Valjean, Fantine, and Marius tours. The Lion King tours are Gazelle and Cheetah.

I only identify them as either the 1st or 2nd Nat’l Tour Casts on the JB Blog. Not to be too formal, but just to give other posters true identification of whichever cast I’m talking about when discussing news.

I really never knew each cast had a “pet or nickname”….. We all love them and I think it’s pretty cool identifying them by the Four Season’s songs!

If “Chicago Zephyr” is the official name of the tour, I wonder why it was chosen. Usually shows with multiple touring companies name them after something related to the show, and I don’t see it. I know the Zephyr is a train that runs between Chicago and SF. Maybe the cast will do shows between the cities, they’re being called the SF/Chicago cast on the site, and just switch every few months. Of course I’m kidding.

The duffel bags say “Chicago Zephyr,” so I guess that’s the name of the tour. Kind of unfair that they don’t get a name from the show, though!

Lauren, I thought the 2nd tour was the “Walk Like a Man” tour. If it were the “Marianne” tour, how would Ronnie, Marlena, Dawn, Connie-O, Emily, and the Girl Who Came Running feel about being passed over??
