Into the Woods just posted this on their instagram.
Could this be them teasing an extension/new theater announcement as some have previously speculated on here?
Posted: 12/5/22 at 10:26pm
It would be great to see this show continue past January, but at which theatre?
Posted: 12/5/22 at 10:29pm
This is a tour announcement. It's already been announced for the Kennedy Center, and I hear Joaquina will be reprising the Witch.

Even better! People who couldn't get to NYC will now get to see this beautiful revival!
Posted: 12/6/22 at 4:37am
And NYC should give up hope just yet of being able to see this again next year…

Can't foresee them transferring theaters when sales haven't been that good lately. Probably just the tour announcement,
Posted: 12/6/22 at 6:18am
They’re not transferring theatres in January.

The production is going on a mini-tour in the spring. Expect a formal announcement as early as today.

Sorry LOL! Still great news!

Fingers crossed this is Detroit's secret show. Having seen it twice in New York I'd love a chance to see it again.

Sounds like this will tour until the end of 2023. Surprised Block is doing the tour. When was the last time she toured?

I believe the beginning of the First National Tour of Wicked in 2005

It's a short tour, hitting mostly major cities with a couple longish engagements (Washington, LA). I'm sure the fact that Block and Arcelus are doing it together, and can presumably bring their child with them, is a selling point.

Wow! The theatre community here in Buffalo will be thrilled to welcome them as they tech here before heading to DC.

This is so exciting. I absolutely adored this production when I saw it on Broadway last month. I am thrilled that more people around the country will get the chance to experience it. Pretty tight turnaround between the announcement of the mini tour launch and the beginning of the tour, though.

This made my day!!! I was trying to move the earth to get to nyc to see this - love me some Block.
so she will be doing Sunset then back to this? How cool!
Posted: 12/6/22 at 9:20am
Surprised and DELIGHTED they are coming to Philly!
Posted: 12/6/22 at 9:38am
Excited to see it in Boston! Wonder who will be playing Cinderella....Denee Benton would make me super happy!

The LA/SF dates prevent this, but would love for this to come back to NY after the Tonys, which I don’t view as out of the question.

Do they really though? Put the Broadway set in storage, and build a new set for the road. If a theater they want opens up during before Tony season with enough load in time, load the Broadway set into the the theater while the tour set is being shipped to San Francisco. Then fly the cast to NY after Chicago on May 8th, and fly them to SF on June 19th. There’s clearly a reason the show is not playing any engagements during Tony Season…my guess is a return NY engagement. The only question is where.

...has anything been announced for the Broadway Theater or would that be too big...?

Nothing in Minnesota... a little disappointing, but not surprising because the Guthrie has their own production of Into the Woods opening in June.
