This season's lineup includes classics, new favorites, and a little bit of whimsy. Let's take a look at the 2026 Broadway Grand Rapids season.

Come From Away

September 11-27, 2026

Come From Away is a show that I have seen and went into completely blind. I left the theater completely in awe of the show.

It is a retelling of the true story of 7,000 passengers who found themselves stranded in a small town in Newfoundland on 9/11.

Dragons Love Tacos

October 4-18, 2026

This show is based on a New York Times best-selling children's book by Adam Rubin that tells the tale of some dragons who love tacos but can't handle spice.

Annie

November 20 - December 20, 2026

It feels weird to call Annie a "classic", but in my eyes, it absolutely is. It tells the story of Annie, an orphan living in an orphanage in New York City during the Great Depression. Spoiler alert: Annie runs away from the orphanage in search of her parents and finds herself living with a billionaire.

A Chorus Line

January 15-24, 2027

A Chorus Line tells a simple story in a brilliant way. Set on a stage on Broadway, it tells the tale of a group of dancers who are auditioning for a spot on a, you guessed it, chorus line.

Dear Evan Hansen

February 19 - March 7, 2027

I'm so excited to see that Dear Evan Hansen will be performed on the stage at the Grand Rapids Civic Theater. This Tony-winning musical tells the story of a high school student who fabricates a friendship with a classmate who died by suicide to become closer to that student's family.

Finding Nemo, Jr.

March 25-28, 2027

Finding Nemo, Jr. is an adaptation of the Disney movie that we all know and love, but it is short, sweet, and to the point (only 60 minutes). It's rated G for the whole family.

Our Town

April 23 - May 2, 2027

Our Town follows the lives of two families in the fictional town of Grover's Corner, NH. The star of the show, unlike most, is the narrator, who often breaks the fourth wall and brings the audience along with them through the story.

Les Misérables

June 4-20, 2027

Les Misérables is a must-see show for theater lovers (and one of my personal favorites). The musical is based on the novel by Victor Hugo.

This isn't the only cool thing to see in West Michigan this year. Check out these concerts that will be making their way here.
