yes, Aladdin will head to the West End first and then afterwards a US tour is planned.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
Aladdin is supposed to go out next season, as well as Les Mis (MTI has stopped licensing the full version of the show in preparation for the upcoming national tour).
How would a Fun Home tour work? Would they revert back to the Off Broadway stateing, seeing that most (if not all) touring houses are not in the round? Or would the completely restage AGAIN for a tour?
Disney is launching Aladdin in Tokyo and Hamburg this year and then in London early next year. I assume they'll come out with a way to make the show tourable like they did with previous shows.
Updated! I kept Aladdin under "Announced but not 100% confirmed" since there has not been an official announcement (though it seems to be a pretty open secret)

It can be done. The most recent revival of GODSPELL was done in the round, and toured to proscenium stages.
when was the last time a play toured?? War Horse in 2011??
