Imperial Theatre, 249 West 45th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues

Previews start February 24. Opens March 21. Closes December 8. If you’re a TDF member, log in to your account to purchase discount tickets.

Another musical romance based on a best-selling book turned movie, Water for Elephants is set during the Great Depression as a broke veterinary student (Grant Gustin from The Flash) hops a train and runs away with a circus. While caring for the animals, he falls for the troupe’s married leading lady (Isabelle McCalla from The Prom). Drama and acts of derring-do ensue. Considering the talent involved, we have highwire hopes for this show, which originated at Atlanta’s Alliance Theatre. PigPen Theatre Co., known for their folk-inflected tunes, wrote the score and three-time Tony nominee Rick Elice (Jersey Boys, Peter and the Starcatcher) adapted the book from Sara Gruen’s novel. Jessica Stone (Kimberly Akimbo) directs and Shana Carroll from The 7 Fingers, who worked on Cirque du Soleil Paramour, designed the heart-stopping tricks.

Lempicka – begins performances March 19

Previews start March 19. Opens April 14. Open run. If you’re a TDF member, log in to your account to purchase discount tickets.

Another import from La Jolla Playhouse, this bio-musical celebrates the incredible life and art of Tamara de Lempicka, a wealthy Polish painter who fled the Russian Revolution with her husband, gained fame in Paris for her Art Deco portraits and became enamored of the city’s bohemian scene—particularly one alluring prostitute. Carson Kreitzer and Matt Gould wrote the songs and script, visionary Tony-winning director Rachel Chavkin (Hadestown, Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) helms the production and the cast includes former Elphaba Eden Espinosa as the artist and Tony winner Beth Leavel. If you’re unfamiliar with Lempicka’s work, the Longacre Theatre is adorned with colorful prints of her striking paintings, including her lovely nudes.

Ato Blankson-Wood, Tony winner Bebe Neuwirth and Steven Skybell round out the cast.

Oscar and Tony nominee Amy Ryan (who took over for an ailing Tyne Daly) and Liev Schreiber lead this revival of John Patrick Shanley’s Pulitzer Prize- and Tony-winning play about a hard-as-nails Catholic school nun who suspects a charismatic priest is abusing a vulnerable student.

Hayes Theatre, 240 West 44th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues

Previews start April 3. Opens April 25. Closes June 30.

A world premiere from Pulitzer Prize winner Paula Vogel (How I Learned to Drive, Indecent) is always something to celebrate, even if we don’t know exactly what to expect. Seemingly, it’s a surreal memory play about the grown children of a domineering matriarch (Oscar and Tony winner Jessica Lange) unpacking their past as they recall moving into a new apartment in 1962. Jim Parsons and Tony winner Celia Keenan-Bolger (To Kill a Mockingbird) play her progeny and Tina Landau directs this production for Second Stage Theater.

Opening after the Tony Awards cutoff date, this revival of Samm-Art Williams’ 1980 play will be the first production to bow during the 2024-2025 season. A tribute to the indomitable spirit of a young Black man from the rural South who grapples with grief, losing his girl and the Vietnam War, this mounting is directed by Tony winner Kenny Leon (A Raisin in the Sun) for Roundabout Theatre Company. Cast TBD.

My Son’s a Queer (But what can you do?) – postponed

On February 8, producers announced that this show has been postponed until next season. Rob Madge, who started performing on London’s West End as a child, shares their uplifting identity journey in this cheeky solo romp, which was well-received across the pond. At age 12, Madge tried to recreate a princess-filled Disney parade in their house, but it went awry. Now they’re back on stage to get it right as they share tales and songs about their fabulous life and supportive family. Luke Sheppard (& Juliet) directs this celebration of queerness.
