“This is one of those seasons that feels electric from start to finish,” says Regina Ruhberg, Executive Producer of Programming and Booking. “It’s full of shows people already love and others they’ll discover and fall in love with here. There’s a real sense of momentum and excitement that makes you want to be part of it.”
The season opens with WAITRESS, a deeply human story wrapped in an unforgettable score by Grammy Award winner Sara Bareilles. Equal parts funny, tender and empowering, this beloved musical follows Jenna, a small-town pie maker dreaming of a bigger life, and reminds audiences what it means to take a chance on yourself.
Next, & JULIET explodes onto the stage with a bold, high-energy reimagining of one of the world’s most iconic love stories. What if Juliet chose her own ending? Featuring a soundtrack of global pop hits from Max Martin, this electrifying production is packed with joy, attitude and nonstop fun
MYSTIC PIZZA, inspired by the classic film that launched Julia Roberts’ career, brings a fresh, feel-good story to the stage. Set in a seaside town, it follows three young women navigating friendship, love and big dreams.
In February, SHUCKED delivers one of Broadway’s biggest breakout comedies. Smart, surprising and genuinely hilarious, this Tony Award–winning hit turns a small-town corn crisis into a wildly entertaining night of sharp humor, big heart and infectious music.
Spring welcomes THE WIZ, the groundbreaking musical that redefined a classic. With its soulful score, vibrant storytelling and iconic “Ease on Down the Road” energy, this production is as joyful as it is powerful, bringing a fresh perspective to a story generations know and love.
Closing the season, A BEAUTIFUL NOISE — The Neil Diamond Musical is a full-scale celebration of one of music’s greatest icons. Featuring a catalog of legendary hits and an inspiring story behind the songs, this high-impact production is designed to have audiences singing along and on their feet.
