Broadway 2025-26 tour: See which shows are coming to Fort Lauderdale & Miami next season

If a musical gets major Broadway buzz, there’s a good chance the national tour will make a stop in South Florida.

Shows such as “Back to the Future,” “Kimberly Akimbo,” “Hell’s Kitchen,” “The Wiz,” “Moulin Rouge” and “The Notebook” have been announced as part of the 2025-2026 Broadway season at both the Broward Center in Fort Lauderdale and the Arsht Center in Miami.

The national touring company Broadway Across America has released the schedules, which also include Great White Way fan faves “& Juliet,” “Life of Pi,” “Water for Elephants,” “The Book of Mormon,” “Les Misérables” and “Clue.”

As of now, individual tickets are not available, but you can purchase season subscriptions at either venue.

The Kravis Center in West Palm Beach is expected to release its slate of touring productions in late March.

Oct. 21-26, 2025 — ‘Life of Pi’

This isn’t a musical (though there is music), but rather a play with Broadway-level spectacle using puppetry, projections, motion graphics, special effects stagecraft and choreography. That theatrical storytelling won the stage production three Tony Awards and five Laurence Olivier Awards (for the London run). The show is based on the 2001 best-selling novel by Yann Martel that also became a four-time, Academy Award-winning movie in 2012. The narrative follows a shipwrecked Indian teenager, Pi Patel, and a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker who end up in a lifeboat together.

Nov. 11-23, 2025 — ‘Water for Elephants’

This musical is based on the 2006 novel of the same name that became a 2011 movie. The romantic drama involves an elderly nursing home resident recalling how, as a young man back in the Great Depression, he joined a traveling circus, trained an elephant, grappled with a sadistic ringmaster and had an affair — events that affected the rest of his life both negatively and positively.

Dec. 16-28, 2025 — ‘Les Misérables’

Set in 19th century France, “Les Misérables” focuses on themes of redemption for ex-convict Jean Valjean against the backdrop of the 1832 Paris Uprising. The show was originally staged in Paris in 1980, moved on to London’s West End in 1985, and bowed on Broadway in 1987, winning eight Tonys. In 2012, a movie version hit screens with Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Russell Crowe, Eddie Redmayne, Sacha Baron Cohen, Helena Bonham Carter and Amanda Seyfried. The show is a sung-through musical, meaning it has no dialogue other than a few lines spoken in the course of a song. The anthems and ballads that have gone on to become well-known include “I Dreamed A Dream,” “On My Own,” “Master of the House,” “Bring Him Home,” “Do You Hear the People Sing?” and “One Day More.”

Jan. 13-25, 2026 — ‘& Juliet’

What would’ve happened if Shakespeare’s Juliet hadn’t offed herself over her grief for Romeo’s death? That’s the premise of this musical comedy, created by “Schitt’s Creek” Emmy winner David West Read. The jukebox musical uses pop hits from Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, Britney Spears, Iggy Azalea, Kesha, Celine Dion, *NSYNC, Katy Perry, P!nk, Justin Timberlake, Adam Lambert, Kelly Clarkson, Bon Jovi, Jessie J, Ellie Goulding, Demi Lovato and Robyn. The pop anthems in the show are all by Swedish composer Max Martin.

Feb. 3-15, 2026 — ‘Back to the Future: The Musical’

Yes, the DeLorean is one of the stars of this musical based on the 1985 mega-hit, sci-fi movie with Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover that spawned a film franchise with two sequels, theme-park rides, video games and a TV cartoon series. Like the original silver-screen version, the story follows Marty McFly, who is transported back to 1955 in a time machine built by oddball scientist Doc Brown and accidentally changes the history of almost everyone close to him. The show has an original musical score sharing the spotlight with songs from the movie, including “The Power of Love”, “Johnny B. Goode” and “Earth Angel.”

March 10-22, 2026 — ‘Hell’s Kitchen’

This hot ticket show in NYC is from 17-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys and loosely retells the singer/composer’s upbringing in the West Side Manhattan neighborhood (fittingly nestled beside the Broadway district) back in the 1990s. This jukebox musical — with a book by Pulitzer Prize-finalist Kristoffer Diaz — includes original songs and hits by Keys such as “Girl on Fire,” “No One,” “You Don’t Know My Name,” “Fallin’” and “If I Ain’t Got You.”

April 7-12, 2026 — ‘Kimberly Akimbo’

This show won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The narrative, based on David Lindsay-Abaire’s stage comedy, is about an isolated teenage girl with a rare condition that causes her to rapidly age and her adventures: first love, white-collar crime, high school drama, family angst and the Six Flags Great Adventure theme park.

Jan. 30-Feb 1, 2026 — ‘Riverdance: The New Generation’

The show that put traditional Irish dancing on the map back in 1995 has had a major refresh for the latest world tour that celebrates the production’s 30th anniversary. We’re talking new choreography and costumes, along with the latest technology with lighting, projections and motion graphics. (By the way, none of “the new generation” of performers was born when “Riverdance” began three decades ago.)

ARSHT CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS, MIAMI

• The six-show package ranges in price from $252 to $932.
• For more information or to purchase a season package, visit arshtcenter.org or call 800-939-8587 or 305-949-6722.

Oct. 7-12, 2025 — ‘The Wiz’

“The Wiz” was a not only a box office juggernaut on Broadway back in 1975, it was also groundbreaking musical comedy, retelling the story of “The Wizard of Oz” through the lens of Black culture on the Great White Way (and making a star out of Stephanie Mills along the way). In 1978, 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. Charlie Smalls’ 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).

Dec. 2-7, 2025 — ‘Clue’

The 1949 murder-mystery board game became a 1985 cult-favorite movie, a British TV game show in 1990 and an off-Broadway musical in 1997. Now a stage comedy based on the funny film — with Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Eileen Brennan, Martin Mull, Lesley Ann Warren, Michael McKean and Christopher Lloyd — is returning to SoFlo after a run last June in Fort Lauderdale.

Dec. 30, 2025-Jan. 4, 2026 — ‘& Juliet’

Before appearing in Fort Lauderdale, this coming-of-age jukebox musical will stop in Miami with pop music anthems such as “Roar,” “Since U Been Gone‚”  “Larger Than Life‚” “Baby One More Time,” “That’s The Way It Is” and many, many more.

March 17-22, 2026 — ‘Moulin Rouge! The Musical’

Much like the 2001 movie version starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor, this stage iteration is a jukebox musical set in the turn of the 20th-century Belle Epoque period, but with anachronistic songs from the more recent Top 40 charts. Songs such as “Lady Marmalade,” “Every Breath You Take,” “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” “What’s Love Got to Do With It” and “Rolling in the Deep” tell the story of a young poet who falls in love with a cabaret star. The show won 10 Tony Awards in 2020.

May 5-10, 2026 — ‘The Notebook’

Based on the 1996 book of the same title, the musical bowed on Broadway last March and closed this past December. Like the 2004 hit movie with 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 cross their class/background divide to find lasting love. The music and lyrics are by singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson, and the show’s book is by Bekah Brunstetter, probably best known as a staff writer and supervising producer with the NBC series “This Is Us.”

June 9-14, 2026 — ‘The Book of Mormon’

The profane and satiric musical comedy came from the minds of Trey Parker and Matt Stone, of the five-time Emmy Award-winning animated series “South Park,” as well as Tony Award-winning composer Robert Lopez, of the musical-comedy “Avenue Q.” The show follows two Mormon missionaries and their misadventures while trying to spread their faith to a village in war-torn and impoverished Uganda. One has a crisis of faith, and the other refashions the liturgy with dashes of pop culture to win over converts. It won nine Tony Awards in 2011, including Best Musical.
