Baltimore's historic Hippodrome Theatre has announced the lineup of hit Broadway shows that will be taking the stage in the new 2025/2026 Hippodrome Broadway Series.

Winner of 5 Tony Awards including Best Musical, this quirky musical comedy with an intentionally-diffused serious undertone continues performances at Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa through February 2, 2025.
