The “Straight to You” Tour brings the feel of a theater experience into an arena setting through stage design, lighting, projection, as well as spontaneity and interactivity Groban delighted his with fans during last year’s “Before We Begin” shows.

Released by 143/Reprise Records on November 15, “Illuminations” debuted at No. 4 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart (Groban’s fourth consecutive Top 5 chart bow), selling 191,337 units in its first week. Entertainment Weekly declared that "Illuminations might be Groban’s handsomest effort yet." USA Today raved, "Illuminations yields glowing music. Sturdy, deeply personal statements, brimming with poignancy." The New York Times also praised the album, saying it "showcases Mr. Groban’s songwriting" and "reflects the conviction that gallantry can also be pensive and uncertain."

Groban recently performed the National Anthem at the 60th Annual NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles. He will be a guest-host on Live with Regis & Kelly on March 4.
