Playbill has announced that the stage musical adaptation of The Lord of the Rings will embark on a world tour starting in 2015. The Lord of the Rings premiered at Toronto’s Prince of Wales Theatre in March 2007, before moving to London, where it ended its run in July 2008 after 493 performances.
The new touring production will premiere in New Zealand; additional locations have not yet been announced, but TheOneRing.net will have locations and tour dates as soon as they are available. Stay tuned!
