Promo on his website notes the tour will include moments where Murray “lifts the lid on his biggest moments, reflects on a unique career and provides behind-the-scenes access to the world of tennis.” The interactive show will include a big screen that will allow him to recap memorable plays and moments from his life.

“Hearing the roar of the crowd is a feeling like no other,” says Murray in a voice over in the social media video he shared announcing the tour. I’m now moving on to a different type of stage.”

The video sees him suiting up for an on-stage performance before walking out to cheers, sitting on a theater seat with a microphone and asking the audience, “What would you like to know?”

All questions will be returned like a trademark Murray forehand in June.
