Here’s a breakdown of the calendar and the shows.
Oct. 21-26, 2025 — ‘The Wiz’
Haven’t had enough of variation on “The Wizard of Oz” yet? Back in 1975, “The Wiz” was told through the lens of Black culture on the Great White Way, not only doing what was then called “boffo box office” but also making a bona fide star out of Stephanie Mills along the way. Three years later, the show became a big-budget movie starring Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Lena Horne, Richard Pryor and Nipsey Russell. A live telecast, “The Wiz Live,” aired on NBC in 2015 with Ne-Yo, Mary J. Blige, Queen Latifah, David Alan Grier, Uzo Aduba and Common in the cast. The score features well-known songs such as “Ease on Down The Road,” “Believe in Yourself,” “Be a Lion,” “Slide Some Oil to Me” and “Everybody Rejoice/A Brand New Day” (written by Luther Vandross).
Nov. 11-16, 2025 — ‘Kimberly Akimbo’
This show won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Based on David Lindsay-Abaire’s stage comedy, “Kimberly Akimbo” is about the adventures — involving first love, white-collar crime, high school drama and family angst — of an isolated teenage girl with a rare condition that causes her to rapidly age.
Nov. 20-30, 2025 — ‘ ‘Twas The Night Before…’ by Cirque du Soleil
This is the first holiday-themed human circus show by the Canadian entertainment company with lots of derring-do from acrobats, athletes, performers and Christmas characters. The narrative tying all the gasp-worthy acts together is the classic poem “A Visit from Saint Nicholas” by Clement Clarke Moore.
Dec. 22-28, 2025 — ‘The Choir of Man’
Somewhere between an Irish/English pub party and a Top 40 concert is “The Choir of Man,” with a cast of nine guys singing everything from Guns N’ Roses and Adele to Paul Simon and Katy Perry (with some tap dancing and poetic spoken-word monologues thrown in for good measure). The show got its start at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2017. Four years later, it bowed in London’s West End, where it continues to run. There were also stints with Norwegian Cruise Line ships.
Jan. 6-11, 2026 — ‘Some Like It Hot’
We all know the 1959 comedic film with Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis. While the stage musical version has some new plot points, the basic storyline still follows jazz musicians during the Prohibition era donning drag to avoid getting wasted by mobsters after they witness a hit. The show opened on the Great White Way in 2022 and went on to win four Tony Awards.
Feb. 10-15, 2026 — ‘MJ the Musical’
This jukebox musical about the King of Pop won four Tony Awards after Broadway previews in December 2021 and a grand opening in February 2022, going on to become a box-office juggernaut. With Michael Jackson chart-toppers ranging from his Motown days with his brothers as the Jackson 5 to his super-duper stardom solo career, you get toe-tappers such as “Beat It,” “Billie Jean,” “Thriller,” “Bad,” “The Love You Save,” “ABC,” “I Want You Back” and “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough.”
April 7-12, 2026 — ‘A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical’
Neil Diamond’s chart-topping songbook is used to tell the story of the singer/composer’s journey from Brooklyn boy to iconic hitmaker in this jukebox musical, which first bowed on Broadway in 2022. Along the way, you get top tunes such as “Sweet Caroline,” “Forever in Blue Jeans,” “Love On The Rocks,” “Hello Again,” “I’ll Come Running,” “Brother Love’s Travelling Salvation Show, “Song Sung Blue,” “Solitary Man,” “I’m A Believer” and more.
April 28-May 3, 2026 — ‘The Notebook’
Like the 2004 hit movie starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams, this stage version tells the story — through notebook passages read aloud in a nursing home — of a young couple who overcome all kinds of divides to find lasting love. The musical bowed on Broadway in March 2024 and closed this past December. The music and lyrics are by singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson, and the show’s book is by Bekah Brunstetter, who also served as a staff writer and supervising producer with the NBC series “This Is Us.”
