Broadway package show:
- “Disney’s Frozen,” Aug. 15-24 (13 performances) — Based on the Academy Award-winning animated film, “Disney’s Frozen” includes all the movie’s beloved songs by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, as well as new music written for the stage. In the mountainous kingdom of Arendelle, Princesses Anna and Elsa grow up sheltered inside their castle, isolated from the world and increasingly distant from each other. When Elsa is crowned queen, the magical powers she has tried to conceal from her sister take control, and she flees into the mountains. As a ferocious winter descends on Arendelle, Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa and bring her home — with the help of hardworking ice harvester Kristoff, his loyal reindeer Sven and a happy-go-lucky snowman named Olaf. Full of magic, humor and a stunning musical score, “Frozen” is a powerful tale of sisterhood, acceptance and finding the real meaning of true love.
- “Tina: The Tina Turner Musical,” Oct. 8-11 (five performances) — This triumphant story of the queen of rock ‘n’ roll is set to the pulse-pounding soundtrack of her most beloved hits. “Tina” presents Turner’s journey against all odds to become one of the world’s most cherished artists. Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Katori Hall, the musical features such iconic songs as “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” “Proud Mary” and “Hero.” “Tina” is recommended for ages 14-plus due to scenes depicting domestic violence, racist language, loud music, strobe lighting, haze and gunshots.
- “A Christmas Story: The Musical,” Dec. 16-21 (eight performances) — From the songwriting team behind the Tony Award-winning musical “Dear Evan Hansen” and the Oscar-winning film “La La Land,” “A Christmas Story: The Musical” brings the classic 1983 film to life on stage. Set in 1940s Indiana, a young, bespectacled Ralphie Parker schemes his way toward the holiday gift of his dreams, an official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot range model air rifle. An infamous leg lamp, outrageous pink bunny pajamas, a maniacal department store Santa and a triple-dog-dare to lick a freezing flagpole are just a few of the distractions that stand between Ralphie and his Christmas wish. “A Christmas Story” was nominated for three Tony Awards, including best musical, in 2013.
- “The Music Man,” March 5-8, 2026 (five performances) — There’s trouble in River City, with a capital “T.” This classic musical comedy follows Harold Hill, a fast-talking traveling salesman, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band that he vows to organize — despite the fact that he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. However, his plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, the town’s librarian, who aims to turn him into a respectable citizen. This family-friendly production features the classic songs “Seventy-Six Trombones,” “Trouble,” “’Til There Was You,” “Pickalittle” and “Gary, Indiana.”
- “Suffs,” May 5-10, 2026 (seven performances) — Behind every powerful woman … are more powerful women. Direct from Broadway comes this new musical about the brilliant, passionate and funny American women who fought tirelessly for the right to vote. Created by Shaina Taub — the first woman to independently win Tony Awards for best book and best score in the same season — the musical explores the triumphs and failures of a struggle for equality that is far from over. “Suffs” won the Outer Critics’ Circle Award for best new musical in 2024. It is recommended for ages 10-plus due to mature language.
BROADWAY ADD-ON PERFORMANCE:
- “Hadestown,” Jan. 16-18, 2026 (four performances) — “Hadestown” won eight Tony Awards, including best musical, in 2019, as well as the 2020 Grammy Award for best musical theater album. From acclaimed singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and original director Rachel Chavkin (“Natasha, Pierre and The Great Comet of 1812”), this timeless love story intertwines two mythic tales — of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and of King Hades and his wife, Persephone. “Hadestown” is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience sure to captivate audiences.
