The season kicks off Oct. 30 through Nov. 1, 2026, with Beetlejuice, the hit musical based on the iconic “Beetlejuice” directed by Tim Burton. The production follows Lydia Deetz and her encounters with a mischievous demon in a striped suit, blending comedy, heart and supernatural chaos into what Variety once called “screamingly good fun.”
Next up is The Wiz, running Jan. 8-10, 2027. The Tony Award-winning musical reimagines “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” through a vibrant mix of soul, gospel, funk and contemporary choreography. The new touring production arrives direct from Broadway with updated staging and choreography while honoring the groundbreaking legacy of the original show.

Disney fans will get their chance to “Be Our Guest” when Beauty and the Beast arrives May 19-23, 2027. The production marks Disney’s first North American touring version of the beloved musical in more than 25 years, and features refreshed sets, elaborate costumes and the classic songs audiences know by heart. The production reunites several members of the original Tony Award-winning creative team, including composer Alan Menken and lyricist Tim Rice.
Closing out the season will be A Beautiful Noise from July 30 through Aug. 1, 2027. Created in collaboration with Neil Diamond, the musical chronicles the legendary singer-songwriter’s rise from Brooklyn kid to international music icon. The production features many of Diamond’s biggest hits, including “Sweet Caroline,” “America” and “Forever in Blue Jeans.”
