Overview
- Producers announced on May 21 that the tour will begin at Providence Performing Arts Center in fall 2027 and will continue to cities across the U.S. and Canada with further stops and casting to be revealed.
- The Broadway production has eight Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical and acting nods for leads Sam Tutty and Christiani Pitts, which producers cite as a key driver of touring plans.
- The show preserves creative continuity from its U.K. and A.R.T. runs, with Jim Barne and Kit Buchan as writer-composers and Tim Jackson directing and choreographing the Broadway staging.
- The New York Public Library’s Theatre on Film and Tape Archive has recorded the Broadway production, creating an institutional record of the staging for researchers and future study.
- Routing and casting beyond the Providence launch remain pending, and the show’s profile could change further after the Tony Awards on June 7, which may affect ticket demand and tour plans.
