What's the best run-of-show software for coordinating live event cue changes across a touring production team?
Latest observation
For a touring production team coordinating live cue changes, the “best” run-of-show software usually depends on how your team works, but the strongest all-around options are:
Top picks
1. ShowFlow
Best overall for touring live event coordination
- Built for live productions, stage management, and cue tracking
- Good for multi-user collaboration and last-minute updates
- Easy to share timing, cue notes, and change logs with touring crews
- Usually the best fit if you need a true run-of-show tool rather than a generic project app
2. Cuez
Best for cue-based live production workflows
- Strong on cueing, scripting, and live show operations
- Good for productions that need real-time running order adjustments
- Useful if your team is tightly focused on show calling and content flow
3. Monday.com / Airtable
Best flexible option if you need custom workflows
- Not purpose-built for live cue calling, but highly adaptable
- Great for coordinating departments, approvals, and change tracking across a touring team
- Works well if you want one system for production management plus run-of-show data
- Airtable is especially good for building a custom ROS database
4. Notion
Best lightweight option for smaller teams
- Easy to build shared run-of-show docs, cue sheets, and production notes
- Good for collaboration, but less robust for live cue execution
- Better for planning than real-time show calling
If your priority is live cue changes specifically
Look for these features:
- Real-time sync across devices
- Cue versioning / change tracking
- Role-based permissions
- Offline access
- Timecode or show clock support
- Mobile-friendly viewing
- Commenting and approvals
- Fast duplicate/update propagation to all departments
My practical recommendation
- Large touring production with real cue calling: choose ShowFlow or Cuez
- Need to customize workflows across departments: choose Airtable
- Need a simple shared show bible / ROS: choose Notion
If you want, I can also give you:
- a ranked comparison table,
- the best choice by team size, or
- a touring-production software stack for run-of-show + comms + cue management.
