Tony Winner Lena Hall Will Hit the Road Alongside Josh Groban for STAGES Tour

Multi-platinum recording artist Josh Groban has invited Tony Award-winning actress, Lena Hall, to join him onstage for several songs, including two duets, during his Fall 2015 North American tour. THE STAGES TOUR, produced by Live Nation, will begin on Sept. 12 in Atlanta, GA and continues through early November. THE STAGES TOUR will visit specially selected theaters around the country, giving fans accustomed to seeing Groban perform in arenas (as he did on his 2013 "In The Round" and "All that Echoes" tours) a more uniquely intimate experience. Lena will join the tour starting Sept. 14 in Washington DC. In addition to taking the stage with Josh, she will also perform two songs on her own. Tickets are on sale now at www.livenation.com.

Singer and actress, Lena Hall, is best known for her Tony Award-winning (Best Featured Actress In A Musical) role in Hedwig & The Angry Inch. She had previously been seen on stage in Kinky Boots, Tarzan, Dracula, The Musical, 42nd Street and Cats. She is also the lead singer for The Deafening, an indie rock band based in New York City.

Josh Groban's, Stages, is a collection of some of the greatest musical theater songs of all time, which Groban describes as "gorgeously arranged songs that have stood the test of time," and which he was drawn to because of their combination of "incredible melody with an incredible story." Recorded with producers Humberto Gatica and Bernie Herms in both Los Angeles and London's Abbey Road (with a 75-piece orchestra), Stages features songs from LES MISERABLES ("Bring Him Home"); Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel ("You'll Never Walk Alone"); Stephen Sondheim's Sunday in the Park with George ("Finishing the Hat"), Sweeney Todd ("Not While I'm Around") and Into the Woods ("Children Will Listen"); The Fantasticks ("Try to Remember"); A Chorus Line ("What I Did For Love"); Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera ("All I Ask of You"), The Wizard of Oz ("Over the Rainbow"), and others. Another highlight is "Pure Imagination," originally sung by Gene Wilder in the film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Watch the album trailer for Stages here.
