Why this Matters to You
If you are a theatergoer, you have a limited window to see the acclaimed Broadway production before it closes. The show's high nomination count and star performances may make it a notable final opportunity. The announcement of a national tour means you could have a chance to see a version of the show in a city near you later this year, which could be more accessible and affordable than a New York trip.
What's Next
The final Broadway performance is scheduled for June 28. A North American tour is set to launch this September, beginning at Playhouse Square in Cleveland, Ohio. This tour may bring the musical's story and acclaimed costume design to a wider audience across the continent.
