    33 Things That Make Touring Performers Very, Very Happy.

    In the past 9 months I’ve been on the road with a traveling theatrical production that has taken me to 73 cities, 20 states and quite accurately a bazillion hotel rooms. While touring may be a grueling and quick-paced lifestyle, it also has the power to instill in a traveler a sense of gratitude for little things, “normal people” may take for granted. Here is my year’s compilation of some very tiny and some very spectacular things that keep a touring performer touring…and sane.

    1. Hotel rooms with kitchens

    2. Experiencing famous regional fast-food chains for the first time

    3. When really important people come to see your show

    4. Swing seats on the bus

    5. Hotel massage-bar soap

    6. Hotel rooms with a view

    7. Being a tourist

    8. Hanging with the band

    9. Having a rental car for the week

    10. Skype sessions with loved ones

    11. Family members seeing your show…then taking you out to dinner

    18. Finding someone else on tour who is just as invested in your favorite TV show as you are

    23. Press days

    24. Homemade baked goods

    25. Signing autographs for young performers

    26. Weird gas station cuisine
