Original Broadway Stars of "If/Then," Join National Tour

Tony Award-winner LaChanze ("The Color Purple," "Once on This Island"), Anthony Rapp ("Rent," "Six Degrees of Separation," "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown") and James Snyder ("Cry-Baby," "Rock of Ages"), the original Broadway stars of "If/Then," will join Tony Award-winner and Broadway superstar Idina Menzel ("Wicked," "Rent," "Frozen," "Glee") in the National Tour.

LaChanze, Rapp, Snyder and Menzel will reprise their critically-acclaimed performances in seven select cities. "If/Then" is an original Broadway musical which reunites composer Tom Kitt, book writer/lyricist Brian Yorkey, and director Michael Greif, the creative team behind the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical, "Next to Normal."

Menzel, LaChanze, Rapp and Snyder will launch the National Tour at the Buell Theatre in Denver (October 13-25), and will then play the Paramount Theatre in Seattle (November 3-8), the SHN Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco (November 10 -December 6), the Hollywood Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles (December 8-January 3), San Diego Civic Theatre in San Diego (January 5-10), ASU Gammage in Tempe (January 12-17), and Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa (January 19-24).

Following these seven cities, the National Tour will then continue across North America through August 2016. Complete casting for the remainder of the "If/Then" tour will be announced at a later date.

"'If/Then' is partly about how the communities we live and work in become our families," said producer David Stone. "The original Broadway cast was like a family, and I am very excited for the family to be reunited on tour and to give audiences outside of New York the opportunity to see these exceptional Broadway stars in the roles they created."

"If/Then" is a contemporary new musical that follows two distinct storylines in the life of Elizabeth, a city planner who moves back to New York to restart her life in this city of infinite possibilities. When her carefully designed plans collide with the whims of fate, Elizabeth's life splits into two parallel paths. "If/Then" follows both stories simultaneously as this modern woman faces the intersection of choice and chance.

"If/Then" features choreography by Larry Keigwin, set design by Tony Award-Nominee Mark Wendland, costume design by Emily Rebholz, lighting design by Tony Award-Winner Kenneth Posner and sound design by Tony Award-Winner Brian Ronan.

The original Broadway Cast Recording of "If/Then" is produced by Sony Masterworks and is available on iTunes.

"If/Then" played its final Broadway performance on Sunday, March 22, having played 29 previews and 401 performances.
