Aly & AJ Scrap Fall Tour Dates as Aly Michalka Heads to Broadway

The sisterly musical duo Aly & AJ have abruptly scrapped a chunk of their upcoming concert schedule, but it is all for a massive career milestone. The pop icons officially announced that their slated show dates for late November and December are off the table. The sudden shift comes as elder sister Aly Michalka prepares to step onto the legendary boards of Broadway for the very first time.

Why Did Aly and AJ Cancel Their Tour?

Posting a heartfelt statement to their official Instagram account, the duo revealed the decision was entirely driven by an opportunity Aly simply could not decline. She has officially landed the role of Anne Hathaway, the clever wife of William Shakespeare, in the wildly popular Broadway musical *& Juliet*. Because the theatrical schedule directly conflicts with their live performance itinerary, the pair had to make the difficult call to drop their road show. The affected calendar run was set to kick off on November 28 in Cincinnati and roll through December 19, ending with a final stop in Anaheim. Fans holding tickets in cities like Louisville, Indianapolis, Grand Rapids, and Madison will unfortunately miss out on seeing the duo live this winter. In their shared social media message, the sisters owned up to the disappointment, labeling the career shift a "bittersweet" transition. They expressed deep gratitude for their fanbase, stressing that they fully understand the time, planning, and money supporters spend just to catch them in concert.
