Fresh off receiving nine 2023 Tony Award nominations—including one for Best Musical—Broadway's New York, New York has revealed the Kander and Ebb (and Lin-Manuel Miranda) musical will embark on a national tour in 2025, kicking off in January in a New York city to be announced. Cities, tour dates, casting, and more will be revealed in the coming months. The Broadway production continues its run at the St. James Theatre. 

The musical's all-star creative team is led by five-time Tony winner Susan Stroman, who directs and choreographs the production with music and lyrics by John Kander and Fred Ebb, a book by David Thompson and co-written by Sharon Washington, and additional lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Thompson and Washington's book and Stroman's choreography both received Tony nods when nominations were announced May 2.

Inspired by the 1977 film written by Earl M. Rauch, New York, New York is set in Manhattan in the days after World War II is over. A collection of artists has dreams as big and diverse as the city itself, among them Francine Evans, a young singer just off the bus from Philly, destined for greatness. At least, until she encounters New York native Jimmy Doyle, a brilliant but disillusioned musician.

Currently starring in the Broadway premiere are 2023 Tony nominee Colton Ryan and Anna Uzele, leading the cast as Jimmy Doyle and Francine Evans, respectively. They're joined by Clyde Alves as Tommy Caggiano, John Clay III as Jesse Webb, Janet Dacal as Sofia Diaz, Ben Davis as Gordon Kendrick, Oliver Prose as Alex Mann, Angel Sigala as Mateo Diaz, and Emily Skinner as Madame Veltri.

Sam Davis leads the New York, New York music team as music supervisor and arrangements, with orchestrations by Daryl Waters and Davis, vocal arrangements by David Loud, music direction by Alvin Hough, Jr., and music coordination by Kristy Norter.

The production features scenic design by Beowulf Boritt, costume design by Donna Zakowska, lighting design by Ken Billington, sound design by Kai Harada, projection design by Christopher Ash and Boritt, hair and wig design by Sabana Majeed, and makeup design by Michael Clifton. Casting is by Jim Carnahan and Jason Thinger, with Johnny Milani serving as production stage manager. Spanish translations and additional text are by Michael León.
