With On the Town announcing a tour today, that brings the total up to three officially announced tours that I can think of:

On the Town

Finding Neverland 

An American in Paris 

ETA: The King and I

Curious Incident

Into the Woods

Fun Home

Something Rotten

The Bodyguard

Honeymoon in Vegas (w/ Tony Danza)

Gigi

Rent

Aladdin (Launching from Chicago Apr. 2107)

Hamilton (Sit down in Chicago Sept. 2017, 2nd tour launches from San Francisco Mar 2017)

Hedwig and the Angry Inch (West Coast)

 

 

Rumored/Announced, but not 100% confirmed for season:

Les Miserables

 

Are there any more?

I forgot about the Hedwig tour! They haven't officially announced when though, but that season seems likely.

There is a history of shows announcing national tours during Tony season that never end up materializing.

Didn't Aladdin announce that their tour was launching in the fall of 2016 a long while ago?

Nothing has been announced officially. They have announced international productions though.

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.

Regarding the ON THE TOWN tour:


The press release stated:


"The tour will coincide with the nationwide celebrations of Leonard Bernstein’s 100th Birthday."

Leonard Bernstein was born on August 25, 1918, so his centennial is three years from this upcoming summer.

O-ho the Wells Fargo wagon is a-comin' down the street.
Oh please let it be for me!

^ Either some one made a mistake, or it won't tour until then.


 


Also Into the Woods is now official.
