Play BroadwayWorld's Sunday Crossword: November 1, 2026
Seventeen answers built from a beloved rock musical's anniversary reunion, a revival's casting news and a long-running favorite's health care call to action.
This week's grid has 17 answers spread across a 19x17 board, pulling from seven people, five shows and three venues that made news this week. A landmark musical's anniversary brought old and new stars together for a night of reunion, and that spirit runs through several clues. Play it now at broadwayworld.com/crossword.
Elsewhere in the grid, a splashy off-Broadway announcement brings an unexpected face to a stage comedy, and a festival still working through its own reckoning gets a mention too. One answer nods to a performer's public push to protect fellow actors' health coverage, a reminder that the news behind the footlights matters as much as what happens on stage. Another clue tracks a buzzy revival still waiting on its cast recording, with a single due any day now.
