Title: MST3K Live: The Great Cheesy Movie Circus Tour 2019
Post by: Pak-Man on May 29, 2019, 09:57:21 AM

Felt like this was ready for its own thread. More details are starting to leak about the MST3K 2019 tour. This theater in PA is detailing the VIP packages:

https://www.kimmelcenter.org/events-and-tickets/201920/kcp/mst3k/

No mention of Jonah in the VIP packages or in the tour description. Starting to look like this is going to be Joel only. (Still going. It's coming here on February 14th and that is pure Valentines Day gold!) Also this one describes it as Joel's final live tour. Will there be other tours with other hosts? Whither Jonah? Maybe we'll get more details when the official announcement drops sometime probably very soon (in the not-too-distant-something-or-other).

That's pretty much all for today, but I also want you to know that we're still in discussions about the future of Mystery Science Theater 3000, and making more seasons. There's no official news yet, because we're focusing most of our attention on preparing for the tour, but as soon as there's something else to share, I'll be sure to tell you.

From the new update from Joel, that doesn't really offer anything much up.

He also mentions that while Jonah won't be on this tour, he will be on the next one, so they're still expecting a next one.

Two shows in Iowa and one in Omaha! But they’re all on nights I can’t go. I’ll hold out hope that a Des Moines show might be added.

Nice to see more smaller to mid size cities this tour.

Unfortunately, I can't make it to this tour, because by the time Joel & company make it to Brooklyn, I will be in Japan, so unfortunately, this show is a no-go for me. Oh well!

Tour spread out over 6 months with a promise of more dates/venues to be added. Waiting to see what the closest venue to me is before making plans.

So is this tour supposed to take place in the continuity of the show? The ending of the last season makes it seems like it does.

I've heard from those who were lucky enough to go that the ending tied into the continuity for the last tour somehow. No idea how that worked, since that tour came first.

The tour came first chronologically, but story-wise it came after season 12. I assume this tour can continue on in the same time frame, before season 13.

We have tickets for that exact night in Philly. It's not listed on the regular tour page for some reason so I had to do a little digging to find out which movie it was going to be, probably has to do with the way the Kimmel Center wanted to do the promotion. Saw Joel solo a few years ago where he basically talked about his life and then they showed an old MST3K episode. Excited to see how this tour is set up.  ;D

Went last night to No Retreat No Surrender with K1 and it was a blast!!  Joel's take was great.   We are going tonight for Circus of Horrors. I hope the "host segments" are different as well....

I’ve heard they’re different, but they sort of follow the same theme/format.

They were actually pretty different.  Both shows were excellent. I think i preferred Circus of Horrors more because i hadn't seen that one before.

I really wish I could come to see both shows in Brooklyn, but I was in Tokyo, Japan, which means I have probably the best excuse to miss out on a riffing event.

Went last night and had a great time. I liked the Rifftrax for No Retreat, No Surrender, but the live show version blows it out of the water. There are a few cool things that seem to tie in to the future of the show...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A bit of dialogue implies that there are a few sets of Tom Servos and Crows (Which lines up with other things we've seen), and the ones that escaped with Mike are different than the ones that escaped with Jonah.

The character of Emily Crenshaw (Played by Emily Marsh) is heavily implied to be the next test subject/host. You might have seen her at the end of the last Turkey Day Marathon. She even gets a chance to riff with the bots for about 10 minutes during the movie. She's antagonized by "Mega-Synthia," who is the next generation of Pearl clones. At the end of the show, Joel has escaped yet again and Emily is asked what size jumpsuit she wears. If she gets the hosting gig next, she'll do great. She has a very affable charm and did great in the bit where she gets to riff.

I don't see how that's a spoiler. That's great news! I was thinking the next host should be a woman but I was hoping for Felicia's good twin sister.
