The Tony Award–nominated musical debuted on Broadway in 2005 with a book by Douglas Carter Beane and an original score by Jeff Lynne and John Farrar. Dates and additional casting for the tour will be revealed a later date.
“In determining the production for our first national tour, we felt the country could use a dose of humor. Xanadu invites audiences to laugh and have a good time,” said RWS Entertainment Group CEO, Ryan Stana. “We also wanted to pick a show that allowed us to play with non-traditional casting and we are elated to showcase the amazing talents of Ginger Minj and Jinkx Monsoon.”
