Background
editOn 21 May 2023, whilst in London working on the revival of Groundhog Day at The Old Vic, Minchin announced that he would perform an initial intimate solo concert at the Lyric Theatre, London on 4 June 2023 which would not feature his previous comedy songs, but a fluid setlist of such as from his album Apart Together, musicals such as Matilda and Groundhog Day, his TV and film projects such as Upright and from his early song-writing days.[1] Due to the popular demand, further concerts were announced at the Lyric, and across the UK and Ireland.[2] On 31 July 2023, it was announced that from October 2023 further concerts would be performed in Australia.[3] In June 2024, it was announced that Minchin would tour the USA and Canada in August.[4]
