Joey Graceffa Announces 22-City Stage Show To Herald Release Of New Novel

Joey Graceffa is hitting the road to herald the release of the third novel in his Children Of Eden trilogy. But unlike a standard book tour, featuring staid Q&As and signings, Graceffa is taking a more fanciful approach by bringing the world of his dystopian trilogy to life onstage.

A website for The Eden Tour, which is being produced by UTA, describes it as “the biggest and most unforgettable live production [Joey has] ever created,” in which venues will be transformed into interactive scenes complete with themed games, exclusive behind-the-scenes content, surprise characters, fan participation, photo opps, exclusive Crystal Wolf merch, and more. Throughout the 22-city show, Graceffa will be joined by his longtime boyfriend and “creative counterpart” Daniel Preda.

“There could be more surprises coming. I’m still deciding if maybe I want to perform,” Graceffa said in an announcement video (below), in which he also showed off his new Tesla bedecked in a holographic paintjob. “Who knows?”

Each ticket — priced from $43 for general admission to $138.50 for an ‘Elite Package’ comprising a 45-minute pre-show Q&A with Graceffa and Preda — will come with a signed copy of Rebels Of Eden. Presale for the tour starts tomorrow, and a general sale kicks off on Friday. The third book in the trilogy, Rebels Of Eden, drops on Oct. 2, and Graceffa will launch the tour on Oct. 4 in Boston, concluding in San Francisco on Oct. 29.

The first installment in the Eden series — which is published by the Simon & Schuster imprint Keywords Press — arrived in 2016 and debuted atop The New York Times Best Sellers list. Children Of Eden follows a twin named Rowan who is born into a future society where families are only allowed to have one child apiece.
