Hamilton
February 18 - March 1, 2026
Written by Tony, Grammy and Emmy Award winner Lin Manuel Miranda, Hamilton is a true landmark of American culture, tearing up the musical theatre rulebook with a score that is equal parts Sondheim and Notorious B.I.G., and a cast of ethnically diverse actors in the roles of the Founding Fathers. The story centers on Alexander Hamilton, one of our most important (and colorful) characters, who rose from his humble orphaned beginnings to play a major role in making America the country it is today.

The Great Gatsby

Scott Fitzgerald's Jazz Age masterpiece will now offer national audiences a peek into mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby's world! The production features book by Kait Kerrigan, a score by Tony Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen, and is directed by Marc Bruni.

Stereophonic
April 7 - 12, 2026


The Most Tony-Nominated Play Of All Time!
Written by David Adjmi, with songs by Will Butler of Arcade Fire, this heavily buzzed production takes you on a wild ride through the day-to-day of five rock musicians making an album in the early 70s. The story itself is one of infighting, frustration, romance, and rock'n'roll (all the things you'd expect from a disagreeing 70's band). David Adjmi notes he drew inspiration from iconic band Fleetwood Mac and came up with the idea while listening to Led Zepplin and pondering "What would it have been like to be in the studio when this was being recorded?".

Mrs. Doubtfire
June 2 - 7, 2026
She's the nanny we all wanted in the '90s and now she's back to give the 21st century a spin in this high-spirited musical adaptation of the beloved 1993 classic. From the minds behind Something Rotten! and Hello, Dolly! This glorious production captures the film's original fun and chaos - with added theatrical pizazz!

Wicked
August 12 - 30, 2026


Defying Gravity since 2003
Forget all that you know about The Wizard of Oz and be transported once again to the magical land of Oz! This time, however, the action takes place way before the arrival of Dorothy and her pooch Toto. Wicked is the story of two magically inclined women, one blonde, and one green of skin - and their coming of age as the forces of good and (perceived) 'wicked'.
Wicked was the smash hit of the new millennium that continues to break records over 20 years later with Stephen Schwartz's breathtaking original songs, including "Defying Gravity", "Popular" and "As Long As You're Mine", creating the perfect soundtrack to this beloved new classic.
