Shows include:

“A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical” (Sept. 30-Oct. 5) >> Created in collaboration with Diamond himself, “A Beautiful Noise” tells the true story of how a kid from Brooklyn became a chart-busting American rock icon. It’s structured around a series of therapy sessions during which Diamond reacts to his lyrics as they are read by his psychiatrist. More than two dozen songs are featured, including “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers,” “America,” “Cracklin’ Rosie,” “I Am … I Said” and, of course, “Sweet Caroline.”

“The Phantom of the Opera” (Nov. 21-Dec. 7) >> Cameron Mackintosh’s production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “The Phantom of the Opera” returns to the road in “a revitalized production of this romantic and haunting tale about a disfigured musical genius known only as the Phantom who haunts the depths of the Paris Opera House.” The longest-running show in Broadway history closed in 2023 after 13,981 performances.

“The Wiz” (Dec. 16-21) >> The first of two visits to the Land of Oz this season, this new take on “The Wiz” launched with a 2023 tour followed by a limited engagement on Broadway in spring 2024. The show reimagines the classic novel with an all-Black cast and music that blends soul, gospel, rock and ’70s funk. Comic and writer Amber Ruffin updated the show, just as she did for “Some Like it Hot,” which visited Minneapolis in October.

“Shucked” (Jan. 6-11) >> Country star Brandy Clark and Grammy-winning songwriter Shane McAnally wrote the music for this musical comedy which features a book by Robert Horn (“Tootsie,” “13”). It follows a young couple planning their wedding in a corn-obsessed town. Entertainment Weekly praised the show, which earned nine Tony nominations and one win: “Its refreshing embrace of diversity and unapologetically corny sincerity can definitely put a smile on your face.”

“Chicago” (Jan. 27-Feb. 1) >> With music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb and book by Ebb and Bob Fosse, “Chicago” is set in the Jazz Age and serves as a satire on corruption in the administration of criminal justice and the concept of the “celebrity criminal.” The original production ran from 1975 to 1977, while the 1996 revival currently stands as the longest-running show currently on Broadway.

“Les Miserables” (Feb. 17-22, 2026) >> One of the world’s best-known and biggest musicals, “Les Miserables” has been running in London since 1985 and enjoys the status as the sixth longest-running Broadway show in history. The adaptation of Victor Hugo’s 1862 novel won eight Tony Awards, including best musical, book of a musical, original score and direction.

“Water for Elephants” (March 3-8, 2026) >> Adapted from Sara Gruen’s bestselling novel, this circus spectacle is a journey of loss, love and self-discovery. Set during the Great Depression, it follows a young man who jumps onto a moving train and joins a traveling circus. The Broadway production earned seven Tony nominations, including best musical.

“Suffs” (April 7-12, 2026) >> Actress and composer Shaina Taub, who co-wrote the music for “The Devil Wears Prada” musical with Elton John, wrote the music and book for this tale of the American women’s suffrage movement that focuses on the the historical events leading up to the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1920 that gave some women the right to vote.

“Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” (April 25-May 23, 2026) >> Set 19 years after the events in the novel “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” this original play has earned praise for its performances, story, illusions and stage wizardry. Both the West End version (which opened in 2016) and Broadway’s take (which followed two years later) are still running. It received 10 Tony nominations and won six, including best play.

“The Great Gatsby” (June 2-7, 2026) >> Based on the classic American novel by St. Paul native F. Scott Fitzgerald, this new musical debuted on Broadway in 2024 and won a Tony for best costume design in a musical. The jazz- and pop-infused score won both Broadway.com and BroadwayWorld’s 2024 audience choice awards for favorite new musical.

“Wicked” (July 8-Aug. 9, 2026) >> Given the tremendous success of the film version of the season’s second Oz musical — and the fact that its sequel “Wicked: For Good” will have already run in theaters when this hits town — expect to see tickets fly, both to longtime fans and newcomers who were newly enchanted by the movie.
