They came floating on the jasmine wind! Check out fresh photos of the national touring production of the Tony-winning The Band's Visit, which resumed performances on October 5 at the Durham Performing Arts Center in North Carolina before heading out on a 25-city tour.

Broadway's Janet Dacal returns as Dina, a role she played when she joined the touring production in January 2020.

Set in a town that's way off the beaten path, The Band's Visit tells the story of a band of musicians who arrive, lost, out of the blue. Under the spell of the desert sky and with beautiful music perfuming the air, the band brings the town to life in unexpected ways. Even the briefest visit can stay with you forever.
