The actors have possibly played the roles in the show previously but the costumes and set are going to be done here from scratch, so the show will be different from the tour that came through last year. Also, when the show is done at a regional theatre like Lyric, the quality of the people in the show is usually going to be better than a touring cast. The reason being is someone can come in and get paid well for doing six shows a week instead of getting paid alright for doing eight shows a week for over a year. Really good actors and actresses prefer that. Hopefully next season it is done very well (the renewals have been flooding in). Honestly, as much as I am looking forward to Les Mis, I am looking forward to Spamalot more. I have been wanting to see that show for years.
