She frames the smaller run as part of a recovery after her turn as Glinda.

Overview

  • The tour is scheduled to start in June 2026 in Oakland, travel through North America and Europe, and conclude in London in late August.
  • She said she has been healing her relationship to music and touring over the past couple of years and credited acting, including playing Glinda, with helping that process.
