Thomas Schumacher, producer and president of Disney Theatrical Productions said they “are closing the Broadway production to concentrate on the long future life of this title—beginning with next year’s national tour and upcoming international productions.”

The tour is set to begin in the fall of 2010. No venues, casting or dates have yet been announced.
