The 2026 Tony nominees are already winners... literally. For some, this marks their first nomination, but others have already won Tony Awards in seasons past. We took a look at which nominees have won at least a Tony or two (or four!) - amongst them, they've gathered a total 64 awards.

BroadwayWorld Omaha representative Analisa Swerczek sat down with Grant Reynolds, currently starring as Sky in the Mamma Mia! tour arriving in Omaha this week, to talk about his Chicago roots, life on the road, and all things Mamma Mia!

On Saturday, April 11, 2026, I had the pleasure of seeing yet another excellent production at Center Stage Theatre in Shelton, CT, JERRY’S GIRLS, a show that celebrates the music of Jerry Herman whose music was featured in Hello Dolly!, Mame,  and other musicals. Starring the phenomenal first-rate vocals of stars Sandra Fernandes, Makenzie Massey, and Emerson Raymond, accompanied by talented pianist Jane Best, this show is highly entertaining! The star power of these performers succeeds in pulling off this challenging production, under the brilliant combination of the direction of Liz Muller, associate direction of Jacob Marcus, and choreography of Brandy and Michael Bailey. I am not exaggerating when I say that if Sandra, Makenzie, and Emerson were to audition for American Idol next year, they would likely be the top three contestants. Yes, they are that good!

Pixie Dust Players will present PARADE, a musical by Alfred Uhry and Jason Robert Brown, at JCC Metrowest from Feb. 13-22. The show delves into the 1913 trial and lynching of Leo Frank, exploring themes of injustice and love.

Tubular Bells in Concert will head to Australia in June 2026 as part of the 50th Anniversary World Tour celebration. Mike Oldfield’s work will be performed by an expansive live group, led and arranged by Oldfield’s long-term collaborator, Robin A Smith.  

The Broadway production of Ragtime was a glorious accomplishment, a riveting testament to the original American musical and to all that America itself could be. The show ran for 834 performances at the Ford Center, closing in the final year of the 20th century. It was nominated for 13 Tony Awards, taking home four.

South Coast Repertory will open 2026 with a rotating repertory of Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton.

It wasn’t until later on in theatre history that revivals began including shows that weren’t initially well received or financially successful in their initial engagements. As musical theatre continued to evolve, and more shows entered the canon, a consensus began to grow about shows being worthy of additional exploration even if they hadn’t been hits the first time around. What about musicals that had been ahead of their time, musicals that had fallen prey to circumstances, early works by writers who became successful later on, and of course, shows that found an audience after closing via their cast recordings?

While Austin stages overflow in December with CHRISTMAS CAROLS (three!), TUNA CHRISTMASES (two!), and all manner of holiday theatre cheer, a brilliant star shines at Ground Floor Theatre: Alfred Uhry’s PARADE. First produced in 2015 during GFT’s inaugural season, this remount stands as a striking full-circle moment in the company’s decade-long evolution into Austin’s leading inclusive theatre.

Take a trip down memory lane with our 40 favorite parade performances of years gone by! The Parade is known for bringing may of our favorite Broadway shows and performances to the small screen and our editors have battled it out to pick their favorites. 

The holiday magic is back! Freeform’s beloved seasonal tradition, “25 Days of Christmas,” will return Monday, Dec. 1, bringing back timeless classics, fan-favorite films and heartwarming new specials to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year.

That a show as powerful as Parade can soar in a small theater is a testament to both the talent of its director and the strength of its cast, of which there isn’t a weak link in the bunch.

In two clicks of a mouse, a theatregoer can find a summary of Leo Frank's story; Parade, which tells it, isn't merely based on a true story, it IS a true story. So outlining the plot would be, by definition, a spoiler.

Broadway’s Becky Gulsvig will return to Moorhead to direct Trollwood Performing Arts School’s 2026 Mainstage Musical, Disney’s Frozen. The production runs July 20–25 and July 28–August 1, 2026, at the Bluestem Amphitheater.

Led by two powerful performers and a stunning directorial vision, PARADE marches us into the past to better understand our present.

PARADE asks a lot of its audience. There are moments when a song is so rousing and well-sung, but then you realize the material is uncomfortable, and you wonder if you should cheer or stay absolutely quiet.

Classic Whitney: Alive! the critically acclaimed hit solo show from Broadway's Kevin Smith Kirkwood, returns home to Joe's Pub to celebrate with Classic Whitney: The Tenth Anniversary Edition!

It's a true story. It's a dramatization about a man who moves to Marietta, Georgia, and is falsely convicted of murder. It's his journey of trying to prove his innocence, while simultaneously we see and follow this love story between him and his wife, Lucille.

When PARADE debuted on Broadway in December 1998 it won Tonys for Best Book and Best Original Score and six Drama Desk Awards. The 2023 revival was nominated for six Tony Awards itself, winning two. Now touring, the show, based on a true story, is in Los Angeles through July 12. And while it takes place 1913–1915, it is still just as relevant today as it was a century ago.
