Concurrently, the West End production of Hadestown at London's Lyric Theatre has extended its run.
It is now booking until June 27, 2027, with 140,000 new tickets available during its third year in the West End.
The musical features music, lyrics, and a book by singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell, developed with director Rachel Chavkin.
It blends modern American folk music with New Orleans jazz to reimagine the ancient Greek myths of Orpheus and Eurydice, alongside King Hades and Persephone.
Producer Mara Isaacs said: "We are thrilled to bring Hadestown to audiences across the UK and Ireland.
This is a show that has moved and captivated audiences in London and around the world – and for good reason.

Anaïs Mitchell’s extraordinary score, combined with a story about love and hope in the face of impossible odds, creates an evening in the theatre unlike any other.
Once you’ve heard it, you won’t be able to get it out of your head. UK and Ireland – wait for us.
We’re coming."
The original production won eight Tony Awards in 2019, including Best Musical, and a Grammy for Best Musical Theatre Album.
It also earned two WhatsOnStage Awards after its National Theatre run and West End transfer.
Anaïs Mitchell, lyricist and book writer, said: "I’m thrilled that Hadestown will be touring across the UK and Ireland!
Our West End casts have taught us that these songs sound right at home in every lilt and brogue… we are thrilled to bring this story and music to folks all over and see what new resonances will be found."
The current West End cast includes Rachel Adedeji as Persephone, Bethany Antonia as Eurydice, Marley Fenton as Orpheus, Alastair Parker as Hades, and Clive Rowe as Hermes.
