State Theatre New Jersey will present the national tour of the Tony and Grammy Award-winning musical Kinky Boots for four performances on Friday, February 27 at 8 p.m.; Saturday, February 28 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and Sunday, March 1 at 1 p.m.

“Get your freak/kink on” and show your tolerance for all---seems to be the message of the eternally popular musical plea for acceptance and inclusivity that constitutes the musical Kinky Boots.

Titled after Neil Diamond’s 1976 album of the same name, A BEAUTIFUL NOISE: THE NEIL DIAMOND MUSICAL aims for something more intimate and riskier than the average jukebox musical. Rather than simply charting a performer’s rise to fame, it presents a man in conversation with his past where he’s both haunted and sustained by the songs he wrote to survive it. The structure is unorthodox and quietly daring.

The original cast of the 2024 off-Broadway hit musical comedy FIVE: The Musical Parody reunites for the first time in a one-night-only benefit concert at the Laurie Beechman Theatre, in support of ACLU Minnesota.

xProducers Tom Hulce, Robert Ahrens and The Shubert Organization along with Creative Partners Productions have just announced that Chess will record a Broadway cast album on Monday, January 26, 2026. A release date will be announced shortly.

A BEAUTIFUL NOISE: THE NEIL DIAMOND MUSICAL, currently playing at the Eccles Theater in Salt Lake City, is dually rousing and intimate.

As 2026 approaches, the Laurie Beechma Theare is launching the “Legends In Residency,” featuring monthly performances in the first half of the year from Broadway’s original Annie Andrea McArdle, Tony winner Lillias White and more.
