Can’t-Miss Touring Broadway Shows to See in 2026

Not in NYC? Not a problem. A promising assortment of amazing shows continue to hit the road after (or amid) impressive runs on Broadway — and we’ve rounded up the ones you should put at the top of your list.

In 2026, major Broadway tours are expected to visit cities across North America, including touring productions of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Hell’s Kitchen and The Great Gatsby. The best way to see which Broadway shows are coming to your city is to check each show’s tour schedule, local venue calendar, or Ticketmaster event page for confirmed dates and ticket availability.

When a Broadway show is touring, that means a production is visiting various locations beyond Broadway in New York, NY — with a cast and crew traveling to different cities across the U.S. (or even internationally). While some original Broadway cast members may tour, touring productions generally feature a new cast that was specifically assembled for the road.

After making it there, they’re taking it everywhere! Here’s our full guide to the top musicals touring in 2026.

Broadway Shows Touring in 2026: Schedule, Cities & Ticket Links

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast

It’s a tale as old as time! The story of Belle, Beast, Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, Chip and the rest of the inhabitants of Beast’s castle provides fun at the theater for the whole family. The musical adaptation of Disney’s 1991 feature includes classic songs like “Be Our Guest,” “Gaston” and the timeless title track as well as new melodies like “Human Again,” “Home,” “If I Can’t Love Her” and “A Change in Me.”

The Phantom of the Opera

The longest-running musical in Broadway history may have closed in 2023, but The Phantom of the Opera is still there inside your mind… and on tour! Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tony-winning masterpiece transports audiences to the Paris Opera House, where the mysterious, masked Phantom draws rising ingénue Christine Daaé into his twisted world of obsession, desire and music of the night.

The Outsiders

Tulsa, 1967. As The Outsiders opens, young Ponyboy Curtis is searching for meaning in his life, caught in a never-ending gang war between his Greaser friends and the upper-crust Socs. The 2024 Tony winner for Best Musical is based on S.E. Hinton’s boundary-breaking 1967 novel and features a rousing score by Americana band Jamestown Revival.

The Sound of Music

All across North America, the hills are alive with The Sound of Music. Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic continues its legacy as one of the most beloved entries in the musical theater canon with its latest touring production. Based on the real-life story of the Von Trapp Family Singers escaping Nazi-occupied Austria at the outset of World War II, The Sound of Music is a perfect night at the theater for the entire family.

Hell’s Kitchen

Alicia Keys’ Tony-winning musical has hit the road, bringing the magic and music of Hell’s Kitchen to the masses. Based loosely on her life growing up in the titular Manhattan neighborhood, Hell’s Kitchen puts the R&B superstar’s catalog on display, as teenage protagonist Ali and her community belt out hits like “Fallin’,” “If I Ain’t Got You,” “Girl on Fire” and, of course, “Empire State of Mind.”

The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby may be playing eight shows a week at the Broadway Theater in New York City, but fans of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s defining work can also see the musical on tour across North America. Set at the height of the Roaring ‘20s, the musical adaptation of the acclaimed 1925 novel recounts the mysterious connection between elusive millionaire Jay Gatsby and the married Daisy Buchanan as they party their way through Long Island — all while yearning for that green light across the sound.
