| What Broadway Shows Are Coming To Philadelphia |
First Up: Summer Sizzlers
We got the heat turned up this July!
- Funny Girl (July 16th-28th): This classic tale of Fanny Brice is back with a brand new leading lady, belting out tunes that'll have you wanting to shout "Hey, Big Spender!" from the rooftops.
- Les Mis�rables (August 27th-September 8th): Prepare to raise a glass (or a plastic cup of overpriced soda) for a new production of this beloved tearjerker. Just a friendly reminder: bring tissues (and maybe a spare for your neighbor, because, let's be real, those feels will hit hard).
Fall Foliage and Footlights: What Awaits
As the leaves start changing, so too will your Broadway options!
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.
- Hamilton (October 29th-November 23rd): Yo, Philly! Get ready for a revolution of the best kind: the one with catchy rap numbers and Alexander Hamilton himself. This powerhouse show is a must-see, so don't throw away your shot!
- The Book of Mormon (October - exact dates TBA): Buckle up for a hilarious and slightly irreverent musical that'll leave you wanting more. (Disclaimer: We may or may not recommend quoting this one at Thanksgiving dinner with your grandma.)
Don't forget December! A Beautiful Noise, a Neil Diamond bio-musical, struts onto the stage at the Forrest Theatre (December 10th-22nd).
And that's just a taste! Keep your eyes peeled for more shows to be announced throughout the season.
