Baltimore Hippodrome dropping its mood board hints for the 2026/2027 season. Any guesses? See the link below.  

- Maybe Happy Ending has already been announced as originating the tour here. So that's one. 
- a library and red rose seems to lend itself to beauty and the beast.

Hell's Kitchen is the Gordon Ramsey photo.

I love a season guessing game - I wish every theatre did it!

Gordon Ramsey is for sure Hell’s Kitchen, as is the map of NYC below it with Hell’s Kitchen highlighted

The potion top right with the ‘forever young’ self help book below it I assume is Death Becomes Her

Possibly & Juliet? (torn photo & singer at the bottom, the black & red hearts above, the painting above that)

I think the bottom right group might be Elf, with the Christmas gifts and skates… but is Starlight Express touring?? There’s literally roller skates and a kid with a toy train…

Bottom middle left I think you have Outsiders - “pony”boy, the greaser hair, stay gold with the sunbeams

I think that top middle is Sound of Music, no? With the sew (a needle pulling thread), goats for the lonely goatherd, the Captain, and yodeling. I didn’t know it was touring but what else could that section be? 

No idea what the bottom right few might be other than maybe Ragtime, but it feels too early for that to be touring?

&Juliet was already in Baltimore. There is no way it would come around again so soon.

Way too early for it to be touring. No announcement has been made, nothing has indicated that it will tour.

I mean odds are that it will eventually tour next season, but no, it’s not that. Was just trying to be conversational since I wasn’t sure. I meant bottom left, and now I’m sure it’s Hamilton. It’s obviously not Starlight Express either on the bottom right lol. 

It looks like there are 10 shows here; roughly 5 columns with two shows (top and bottom) per column. What is that bottom-middle-right show if not & Juliet? Even that painting is of St. Francis which checks out.

I’m assuming there are a few return engagements here (like Hamilton, or like they have Wicked and Hadestown this year) that are touring to the theatre but not part of the main subscription season.

What's convincing you that Ragtime will tour?


I can guarantee you, with absolutely certainty, that &Juliet is not coming back to any of their previous tour cities. Try to think about it from a different angle I guess. 

Hadestown is already passing through there in March of 2026. It's not coming back after that.

To address some of your guesses, which I think are great,..

Hamilton had a 3 week run at this theater Oct of 2022 as a season add on.  Was also in town in Oct 2019,  Might it be due again in 2026/27?  


Hadestown is having a weekend-only run as a season add on March 2026, and was here for a week in April 2023. 

& Juliet had a weeklong Sept 2024.  

Wicked has a three week run going right now as an add on.  

10 seems like a good guess for number of shows.  The 25/26 season has 10 with 7 being the package and 3 being add ons.

On instagram comments, guesses seem to be Maybe Happy Ending (Seoul), Hell's Kitchen (Ramsey), Sound of Music (Goat), Parade, Death Becomes Her (cauldron), Beauty and Beast (rose and books), Outsiders (greaser), Six (was here 2023), Cirque Christmas, Heathers (Clorox and gum).

Top row: Maybe Happy Ending, Hell’s Kitchen, The Sound of Music, Death Becomes Her, and Heathers

Bottom row: Suffs, The Outsiders, Beauty and the Beast, Six, and some random Cirque/Magic Christmas Show.

another win for actors equity

best musical who?

with that budget they will be lucky if they can afford Andrew Barth Feldman

Good guesses.  I think you are correct on all except is def not Suffs. Suffs is part of the 2025/2026 package at the same theater and will be there May 2026.  I also am not sure of Six appears again so soon after being in town May 2023... but perhaps a limited weekend-only add-on?
