What Does The 2025-2026 Broadway Season Currently Look Like AS OF TODAY?

We’re now a month removed from the 78th Tony Awards, and as is often the case, several shows have since closed due to underwhelming grosses. Among those: Dead Outlaw (despite seven Tony nominations), Real Women Have Curves, Smash, and Boop!, which is scheduled to close July 13. Other limited runs have concluded, including Floyd Collins, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Glengarry Glen Ross. Tony winner for Best Revival of a Musical, Sunset Boulevard, will complete its run on July 20.

So, what does the 2025–2026 season look like so far?

What’s Already Open:

• Call Me Izzy, a one-woman play starring Jean Smart, is the first official production of the season and has already begun performances.

Musical Revivals:

• Mamma Mia! (Winter Garden) and Beetlejuice (Palace) return for limited runs this fall. While likely ineligible for Best Revival of a Musical at the 79th Tony Awards, both are fan favorites and should perform strongly at the box office.

• Chess (Imperial) and Ragtime (Vivian Beaumont) are confirmed for fall productions.

• The Rocky Horror Show (Studio 54), presented by Roundabout, opens this spring.

• Jamie Lloyd’s Evita starring Rachel Zegler, a breakout hit in London, is eyeing a potential Broadway transfer this spring (per Deadline).

New Musicals:

So far, three new musicals are officially announced:

• Queen of Versailles (St. James), starring Kristin Chenoweth, opening in November.

• WANTED: The Legend of the Sisters Clarke (theater TBD).

• Lost Boys (Palace), scheduled for spring.

Last season brought 14 new musicals, so we expect more announcements soon. Based on Off-Broadway buzz, West End hits, and regional tryouts, other potential titles include:42 Balloons, The Bedwetter, Dolly, Hippest Train (The Soul Train Musical), Joy, The Lonely Few, Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil, Purple Rain, Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York), A Wrinkle in Time, and more.

Original Plays:

Beyond Call Me Izzy, we’re expecting a strong slate of new works:

• All Out (sequel to last season’s All In)

• The Balusters, Kowalski, Little Bear Bridge Road, Punch, and Sugar Daddy

• Fallen Angels, which will reopen the newly renovated Todd Haimes Theatre this spring

With most seasons featuring around 15 new plays, expect additional titles—including possible West End transfers.

Play Revivals:

Some exciting revivals have already been announced:

• Art (Music Box), starring James Corden, Neil Patrick Harris, and Bobby Cannavale

• Waiting for Godot (Hudson), with Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter

• Oedipus (Studio 54), starring Mark Strong and Lesley Manville (direct from the West End)

• Revivals of Marjorie Prime and Becky Shaw (both at The Hayes), plus Joe Turner’s Come and Gone

With many more announcements expected, the 2025–2026 season is shaping up to feature approximately 40 new productions. Plenty to be excited about on Broadway!
