London closing and new world tour announced: The London revival at Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre will play its final performance on May 3, 2026, after which a full World Tour is planned to begin in spring 2027. This marks the first-ever global run for the production in its current revival.[1][3][4][5]

World Tour details and status: Specific tour stops for 2027 have not been fully disclosed yet, but multiple outlets confirm the world tour is in development with announcements expected in due course. Producers have characterized the 2027 tour as a major expansion beyond London’s engagement.[2][4][5]

What to expect in the near term: If you’re hoping to see the show before May 3, 2026, tickets remain available for the London run at Wembley Park Theatre; afterwards, look out for tour announcements and ticket sales for 2027– onward. The production retains its signature immersive staging and high-energy skating performances, as critics and press noted in early 2026 coverage.[5][1]
Illustration (concept): A map of the likely expansion could feature London as a starting hub with leg-stops across Europe, North America, and Asia, connected by a multi-city tour announced by the production company in 2026.[4][2]
If you’d like, I can monitor for official 2027 tour stop announcements and compile a live-updated list with dates and venues. Would you like me to do that?[3][1][2]
