Heading to Broadway...

In exciting news it's been announced that Josh will be heading to Broadway in September 2016.

Josh will star in the Broadway premiere of “Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812,” a musical adaptation of a 70-page section of Tolstoy’s masterwork, “War and Peace.” The show is scheduled to arrive on Broadway with Josh in September.

For more details click here for an artilce from the New York Times.

Here's a clip that explains a bit of the story, although I believe that for the Broadway production they will be adapting it to a stage format.

TOUR DATES!!!!!!!!

Exciting news for US based fans (or those who will be able to travel). Josh has taken to Twitter to announce some tour dates in the fall. And he did it in such a great way. About a week ago, Josh asked via twitter for fans to tweet their location with the hashtag #JGStages

Hellooooo. I want to do something special for ya!! If you're out there tweet me with #JGStages and your closest major city! Mwa ha haaaaa.

— josh groban (@joshgroban) April 8, 2015

Well we've now found out the reason. Josh selected a few lucky people to tweet in order to announce tour dates in their city. He had prepared a short video to announce the date and location, and also gave each of the lucky recipients 2 tickets to the show.
Here's a couple of the tweets to one of the lucky winners.
