American Idol Jordin Sparks has two pieces of big news this week: she’ll be making her debut on Broadway, and she announced her summer headline tour.

Jordin will be joining the 2008 Tony and Grammy Award-winning Best Musical, In The Heights, as Broadway’s new Nina Rosario. Her Broadway debut moment will happen on Thursday, August 19, 2010. The 20 year old will play a limited 12 week engagement through Sunday, November 14, 2010.

“It’s always been one of my dreams to perform on Broadway,” Jordin said. “This is a brand new experience for me. I look so forward to spending time in New York City and joining this talented cast and my favorite new musical.”

On June 2nd, Jordin kicks off “The Battlefield Tour,” Presented by MIKE AND IKE®. Her sophomore album, Battlefield, contains the album title hit single and the bona-fide dance smash, “S.O.S (Let The Music Play).” In the last three years, Jordin has also toured extensively around the world with artists such as Alicia Keys, The Jonas Brothers, and Britney Spears.
