Hadestown

Hadestown

Musical Walter Kerr Theater

Anaïs Mitchell's folk-opera retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice, directed by Rachel Chavkin. A song that can change your fate, and a train ticket straight to the underworld.

Wicked

Wicked

Musical Gershwin Theater

The untold story of Oz's witches, based on Gregory Maguire's novel. Elphaba and Glinda's friendship, before anyone decided who was wicked.

Six

Six

Musical Lena Horne Theater

Henry VIII's six wives take the mic to reclaim their own stories, remixing five centuries of history into a pop concert. Tudor queens, now with headset mics and a girl-group format.

Maybe Happy Ending

Maybe Happy Ending

Musical Belasco Theater

Set in a future Seoul, two retired helper robots fall into an unexpected friendship, maybe more. A quiet, unusually tender musical about what's left when your purpose runs out.

& Juliet

& Juliet

Musical Sondheim Theater

Shakespeare's Juliet gets a new ending, set to a jukebox of 2000s pop hits like Since U Been Gone and Roar. Created by the Emmy-winning writer of Schitt's Creek.

Schmigadoon!

Schmigadoon!

Musical Nederlander Theater

The Apple TV+ series gets the Broadway treatment. Alex Brightman, Sara Chase, Ana Gasteyer, Ann Harada, and Brad Oscar can't leave a golden-age musical town until they find true love.
