Overview
- Producers announced Wednesday that Schmigadoon! will launch a North American tour in September 2027, opening at Baltimore’s Hippodrome and with planned stops in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C.
- Theatrical Rights Worldwide has acquired global stage licensing for the show and plans to position productions in over 60 countries, with projected global audiences exceeding four million according to the announcement.
- The Broadway production remains at the Nederlander Theatre through January 3, 2027 and arrives into the tour and licensing push fresh off 12 Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical.
- The stage adaptation is led by creator Cinco Paul with Christopher Gattelli directing and choreographing and stars Alex Brightman and Sara Chase, and producers say the production was designed from the start to be transportable beyond Broadway.
- Alongside professional and regional rights, the TRW agreement includes community and school editions created for middle and high schools, a step that could broaden local access to the show and create a lasting pipeline of productions and revenue for theaters and educators.
