Which 2026-2027 Broadway shows are right for you?
Not every Broadway opening draws the same kind of audience, so it helps to sort the season by what fans are actually searching for. Whether you want celebrity casting, a new musical, a familiar classic or a family-friendly night out, these are the 2026-2027 Broadway shows to watch.
If you’re looking for celebrity Broadway tickets, start with “Other Desert Cities,” “Much Ado About Nothing,” “Inter Alia,” “860,” “A Few Good Men” and “Evita.” These productions feature major names from film, TV and theater, and several are limited engagements, which can make demand more intense.
If you want new Broadway musicals, “Dolly: A True Original Musical,” “Galileo,” “Wanted” and “Warriors” are the big original titles to track. If you prefer revivals or familiar classics, “The Fantasticks,” “Evita,” “The Sound of Music,” “Dreamgirls” and “The Full Monty” are the season’s major musical revivals.
For families, “Paddington” and “The Sound of Music” are the clearest fits so far. For something less traditional, “Paranormal Activity” brings horror to Broadway, while “Mix and Master” and “Warriors” could appeal to fans looking for music-forward, New York-rooted stories.
