A breakdown of the upcoming season
Oct. 13-18, 2026 — ‘Buena Vista Social Club’ (Subscriber Choice)
Inspired by real events, “Buena Vista Social Club” spans the trajectory of a Cuban band from the 1950s through the 1990s, culminating in the groundbreaking/cultural bookmark 1997 album of the same name. After an extremely successful off-Broadway run (extended twice) in 2023, the show’s curtain got raised on Broadway in 2025. It went on to win five Tony Awards and a Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album.

Nov. 10-22, 2026 — ‘Hamilton’
Winner of 11 Tony Awards, the show about founding father Alexander Hamilton started making headlines even before it debuted off-Broadway in February 2015. Lin-Manuel Miranda, the musical’s creator, was still composing the score when he gave theater fans a sneak peek in May 2009 during a White House Poetry Jam, performing what would become the musical’s opening number to a transfixed first couple, Barack and Michelle Obama. The sung-through musical, with very little dialogue, went on to break box-office records when it moved to Broadway later that summer. Critics were rapturous about the show’s urban rhythms and multiracial casting (Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and even Hamilton’s killer, Aaron Burr, have been portrayed by actors of color), pumping up “Hamilton” until it became a pop culture phenomenon, winning the Pulitzer Prize for drama and a Grammy Award.

Dec. 15-27, 2026 — ‘Death Becomes Her’
Based on the 1992 campy classic movie starring Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, Bruce Willis and Isabella Rossellini, the stage musical bowed on Broadway in 2024. Nominated for 10 Tony Awards, the show won Paul Tazewell the prize for Best Costume Design of a Musical. “Death Becomes Her” follows the beauty battle between two back-in-the-day besties — one a fading Broadway star, the other a frumpy novelist — who both end up drinking a beauty potion … with comedic/horror results.

Feb. 2-14, 2027 — ‘Mamma Mia’
The chart-toppers of ABBA are front and center in this jukebox musical set on a sun-drenched Mediterranean resort island where the upcoming nuptials of a young couple set off a family farce. The score includes hits such as “Dancing Queen,” “Super Trouper,” “SOS,” “The Winner Takes It All” and “Take a Chance on Me.”

March 9-14, 2027 — ‘The Notebook’ (Subscriber Choice)
As in the 2004 hit movie with Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams, this stage version tells the story — through notebook passages read aloud in a nursing home — of Allie and Noah, a young couple who cross their class/background divide to find lasting love. Both the film and musical are based on the 1996 book of the same title. The show debuted on Broadway in March 2024 with a book by Bekah Brunstetter, who also served as a staff writer and supervising producer on the NBC series “This Is Us.”

April 6-18, 2027 — “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast”
The musical tells the story of Belle, a bit of an outcast in her small village, and the Beast, a prince who has been cursed by an enchantress to remain hideous until he can learn to love and be loved. As part of the spell, the prince’s staffers have also been changed into furniture and household objects. Belle is their last chance to become human again before the enchantment becomes permanent. “Beauty and the Beast” opened on Broadway in 1994 and was immediately a high-grossing hit (you might even say it was a beast at the box office). The show, which won a Tony Award for Best Costume Design, ran for 13 years, closing in 2007.

May 5-16, 2027 — ‘The Outsiders’
Based on S.E. Hinton’s 1967 novel and Francis Ford Coppola’s 1983 cinematic take, this coming-of-age stage musical examines the friction between two gangs: The Greasers, working-class “outsiders,” and the Socs, upper-class “socialites.” The musical opened on Broadway in 2024 and won four Tony Awards, including for Best Musical.

Feb. 23-28, 2027 — ‘Six’ (Season Option)
Staged as a pop music concert, this show tells the stories of King Henry VIII’s six wives. The show’s Great White Way debut had a stroke of terrible timing with opening night scheduled for March 12, 2020, the precise day all Broadway theaters were closed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The good news is that the musical, which reimagines Tudor queens as chart-topping pop princesses, eventually won raves from critics when the curtain finally went up on Oct. 3, 2021. The following year, the show won two Tony Awards: for Best Original Score and Best Costume Design of a Musical.
