Yup, no national tour. Seems that many of the theatre owners are pissed off about it. One of the reason why Avenue Q won the Tony over Wicked was the promised of a tour that is cheap to run, which mean more profit for the theatre owners across the country. Avenue Q have started playing in Vegas. If I'm not mistaken, Phantom and Spamalot will also play in Vegas. For Phantom, it'll be the 90 minutes version, playing twice a day. They're building an actual lake for the show.
As for the Sweeney Todd, the producers made a deal with Equity and the Musician unions.
On another note, West Side Story is slated for a revival in 2007 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the show. Seems like they will cast them young so the cast will be appropriate to the characters.
