Any word on if this is touring or not?

The articles all mention a tour launching next fall.

This revival deserved every accolade and every bit of success it has received. It is a moving story with a score that elevates it to an almost spiritual experience. I have never been so moved the way this show has managed to move me. Soul stirring and a tour-de-force performance by Miss Cynthia Erivo at it's center. 

Bravo to all involved for a wonderful run!

Pretty hard to find any show closing that doesn't mention its upcoming tour...

Bright Star, Tuck, American Psycho, Shuffle Along - these are just from earlier this year. None of them had any mention of a tour.

Surprised. Barely made it past a year for such a well reviewed show. Sad.

FYI, tickets for the final show are going quick. They've even jacked up prices since announcing its closing on Sunday(as expected). Mezzanine tickets are $120 - $225. Orchestra are now $165 - $225. Got the last $80 seat in the last row of the mezz.

Y'all...the show IS going on tour next season. Investors have been lined up, the show is being booked, and Troika is the General Manager.

I checked and did see orchestra had a few scattered seats in the back.  My husband and I will be there to say farewell all the way up in row K of the rear mezz and bringing 5 friends who never saw the show and wanted to see it.  The talent and the music will reach us up in the rafters and go beyond!  They will be in for a wonderful afternoon of theater!

People thought she would?

I hope it's Bre Jackson on tour. She was great when I had the pleasure to see her perform the role earlier this year!

No way she was touring with this. She's performed Celie between Broadway & West End for about 2 & 1/2 years now. I think she wants to be done playing Celie.

I wish Bre Jackson and Jennifer Holliday would tour it. They were sensational together.

I just hope we don't have to wait long for Erivo to be back on the boards. I'd grab tickets for nearly anything she's a  part of.

Final weekend! Has anybody been at the last few performances? Really happy to see it looks like they've all been selling out.

I am so glad I saw this when I was in NYC over the holidays. It was due to this board that I decided to see it!

It's intermission at the final show now. The atmosphere is insane and electric - Jennifer Holliday got a huge standing ovation for Push da Button. Lots of famous peole are here too haha including Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton.

Keeping my fingers crossed that this show is being bootlegged.

During her Instagram live, Cynthia kept saying to check her Facebook live at 5. I'm guessing a live stream of I'm here? Or would that be too early?

Oh god, is my soul even ready for a live stream of I'm Here?  That's gotta be it...
