Following a long-awaited return to television in 2018 after a two-year hiatus (and a network change from Fox to ABC), the popular show is taking a summer road trip with the American Idol Live! The shows will also showcase 2018’s newly-crowned winner, and will be hosted by special guest Kris Allen, who many die-hard fans recognize as Season 8’s American Idol winner. However, the last time American Idol went on a live tour was in 2015, highlighting winner Nick Fradiani. Paul has produced several touring productions of former television shows like “Glee,” “Dancing with the Stars” and “America’s Got Talent,” and will bring his management experience to the production of this year’s American Idol Live!
