LOS ANGELES, April 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Multi-platinum recording artist Josh Groban has announced that he will
launch a Fall 2015 North American tour in support of his upcoming
album Stages. The tour, produced by Live Nation, will
begin on Sept. 12 in Atlanta and continues through early November.
THE STAGES TOUR will visit specially selected
theaters around the country, giving fans accustomed to seeing
Groban perform in arenas (as he did on his 2013 "In The Round" and
"All that Echoes" tours) a more uniquely intimate experience.
Tickets go on sale April 24 at
www.livenation.com. With every ticket purchased online, fans will
receive a choice of either a standard physical or a standard
digital copy of Stages.
CitiĀ® cardmembers will have access to pre-sale tickets beginning
Monday, April 20 at
10:00 a.m. local time through
Citi's Private PassĀ® Program. For complete pre-sale details, visit
www.citiprivatepass.com.
Groban will make several television appearances during release
week for Stages, which is due from Reprise Records on
April 28. He will appear on Good
Morning America on April 28,
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Live! with
Kelly and Michael on April 29,
and Dancing With The Stars on May
5. He will also sing the National Anthem at the 2015
Kentucky Derby on May 2.
Stages is a collection of some of the greatest musical
theater songs of all time, which Groban describes as "gorgeously
arranged songs that have stood the test of time," and which he was
drawn to because of their combination of "incredible melody with an
incredible story." The album is available for pre-order at all
participating retailers and JoshGroban.com. An exclusive edition of
the album will be available at Target containing two extra
tracks.
Recorded with producers Humberto
Gatica and Bernie Herms in
both Los Angeles and London's Abbey Road (with a 75-piece
orchestra), Stages features songs from Les Miserables
("Bring Him Home"); Rodgers and Hammerstein's
Carousel ("You'll Never Walk Alone"); Stephen
Sondheim's Sunday in the Park with George ("Finishing the Hat"),
Sweeney Todd ("Not While I'm Around") and Into the
Woods ("Children Will Listen"); The Fantasticks
("Try to Remember"); A Chorus Line ("What I Did
For Love"); Andrew Lloyd
Webber's Phantom of the Opera ("All I Ask of
You"), The Wizard of Oz ("Over the Rainbow"), and
others. Another highlight is "Pure Imagination," originally
sung by Gene Wilder in the film
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate
Factory. Watch the album trailer for Stages here.
