2026-2027 Season Tour Launches

Announced/Teased:

Boop! The Musical

Buena Vista Social Club

Death Becomes Her

Maybe Happy Ending

Operation Mincemeat


The current tour of Les Miserables is expected to close this summer in Boston to make way for the Arena production to launch in the US. Out of the aforementioned titles there’s really only one relatively known name to audiences, Death Becomes Her. With that being said, touring presenters will be eager for an additional title with a well known IP. I suspect Cam Mac and Disney may remount a touring production of Mary Poppins in the states next season. I can’t really think of well known IPs that will be ready to tour in time for next season. The UK tour of the show closes in early 2026, which gives them time to pack up the production and ship to the US for a fall opening in Providence or Baltimore.

Yeah, of the cohorts of ABN, the Some Like It Hot and Shucked tours also close after the current season. I’m not sure if either has plans of launching a non-equity production. & Juliet I’m pretty sure has another year in it. Back to the Future, MJ, Moulin Rouge, and Six are also expected to wrap up this season.

Seems like there’s a ton of non eq tours coming to our city next spring. I’d imagine Notebook goes non-eq if they could tour it with the rain for cheap. 

Seems like the time of year where more official announcements and rumored tours will start to drop.

Plenty of flops have toured. Some shows end up doing a better on the road - they close at a loss in New York and recoup on tour. One benefit of touring is that most/all touring houses have subscription models, so each show is guaranteed a certain number of ticket sales through subscriptions.

someone is going to get in trouble for leaking that early

Nothing has implied that Cabaret will tour. If it does I will be shocked"

Nothing also implied Waitress was coming back for another tour, but if there's a will there's a way.

Seems strange they would send out a tour when this was one of the most popular shows being done by regional theatres in the last year."

If you look at mti's website, there's only one production running for a weekend in Italy. I guess rights have been revoked to bring it on tour, despite the fact a lot of theatre companies were recreating show's original choreo and sets.

In the instagram post it literally says the Upcoming US Tour. What about that says it's not happening? And where have you seen that it has said "Upcoming Cabaret tour"?"

Quite literally the fact that it was silently slipped into an insta post. I wasn't saying I heard there was a cabaret tour, it was a hypothetical question I was asking out of curiosity,

Unless they're, stupid or something, that wouldn't have been there if it's not happening."

Can we do something better with our time than argue over a waitress tour? I'm sure you have a 9-5, a spouse, or something else that would benefit you better than arguing with a high school student about a dumb question he asked 3 months ago.

I can confirm Oh, Mary will be going out on tour. I’m unsure if it’s a fall 2026 or spring 2027 launch; I know it’s coming to Chicago ‘27.

Baltimore Hippodrome releases their full slate for 26-27 tomorrow.  I will post when it drops.  The launch of Happy Ending is confirmed for Baltimore.  Also known coming is Beauty and Beast.  Looks like it will likely be 7 shows in the package, plus 3 optional add-on's.

I am very curious as to how it will be received!
