Recently I got a packet of Power Tour promotional materials that Danielle Gelehrter generously sent to me. I’ve been meaning to scan them and share them with all of you. No time like the present! I did not see the Power Tour as a kid, and I didn’t find out about it until I was an adult. It was basically a traveling Masters of the Universe musical. The show was written by Gary Goddard and Richard Hoag, with music composed by Gary Guttman. According to Matthew Martin, the show toured throughout the US from 1986 to 1987. You can actually watch a video of the performance online, uploaded by cast member Gus Park: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6nyQ7OmzBQ

Danielle sent a folder with the Power Tour/MOTU logo on the front. Inside was a flyer advertising the event, some promo photos, and a press packet. I’ll start with the flyer and the photos. You can click on each photo in the galleries below to enlarge them.

Here are the individual photos:

The press materials provide a bio for Jack and Leslie Wadsworth, who played He-Man and She-Ra, respectively. However the other cast members were not mentioned. According to the Power Tour fan site, the full cast included:

Years ago someone uploaded a copy of the actual program to Issuu, which I am also including below:

Here are some miscellaneous materials that were sent to Danielle by cast member Gus Park, who played Ninjor:

And finally, courtesy of Elsmasef, here is the actual script for the Power Tour stage play! You can download it as a PDF here.
