The book is by Thomas Meehan and Bob Martin, with music by Matthew Sklar and lyrics by Chad Beguelin. This tour is based on the Broadway production.
The cities and dates have not yet been posted on the tour's own site, which says stops are still being added. The show runs about two and a half hours, including a 15-minute intermission, and is recommended for ages 4 and up.
