Broadway at the Eccles has revealed an impressive lineup for its 2026-27 season — featuring mostly Salt Lake City premieres and a few fan favorites.
Shows new to Salt Lake City include Tony Award-winning productions “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” — which author J.K. Rowling calls the “eighth story in the Harry Potter series” — and “The Outsiders,” the 2024 musical based on S.E. Hinton’s coming-of-age novel. Classics like “The Sound of Music” and “Beauty and the Beast” will also play at the Eccles Theater in the coming season.
“Broadway at the Eccles is more than entertainment — it’s a live shared experience that brings people throughout Utah together and adds so much vibrancy to downtown Salt Lake City,“ Victor Hamburger, vice president of the Mountain Region for Broadway Across America, said in a statement. ”With nine incredible musicals and a blockbuster magical event like no other with ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,’ the live theater coming to Salt Lake City is better than ever.“
Here’s a breakdown of the shows in the 2026-27 season.
What’s in the Broadway at the Eccles 2026-27 season lineup?
‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’ — Sept. 19-Oct. 11
Nineteen years after the events of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” the spotlight is now on Harry Potter’s son, Albus Severus Potter, who struggles in his father’s shadow while attending Hogwarts.
The production opened on Broadway in 2018 and won six Tony Awards — including for best play. Originally staged as a two-part play that ran for over five hours, the production was reworked into a roughly three-hour show in 2021.
“Cursed Child” has become the third-longest-running nonmusical play in Broadway history since its 2018 debut, according to Playbill.
Actor Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the original “Harry Potter” series, recently made his Broadway debut in “Cursed Child,” becoming the first cast member from the series to appear in the production, the Deseret News reported. Felton’s Broadway run continues through early May.
‘The Outsiders’ — Nov. 10-15
Not long after a secluded recording session in the Wasatch Mountains, where they recorded their first album, “Utah,” Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance got approached with an unexpected opportunity.
Their manager told them a musical adaptation of S.E. Hinton’s coming-of-age novel “The Outsiders” was in the works, and the creative team wanted the songs to come from Broadway outsiders.
Clay and Chance, longtime friends who formed the folk-rock/Americana band Jamestown Revival, definitely fit the bill.
“Americana has reached a level of popularity that I don’t think anyone would have ever guessed,” Clay previously told Rolling Stone. “People want to hear that kind of music in other art forms, like Broadway.”
“The Outsiders” — which tells the story of two rival groups, the Greasers and the Socs, in 1960s Oklahoma — earned a Grammy nomination for best musical theater album, and won the Tony Award for best musical in 2024.
‘Beauty and the Beast’ — Dec. 8-19
“Beauty and the Beast” marks Disney’s first North American touring production in over 25 years, according to a news release shared with the Deseret News. Members of the original Tony Award-winning artistic team — including composer Alan Menken and lyricist Tim Rice — have reunited to bring this new production to life.
‘Buena Vista Social Club’ — Jan. 26-31, 2027
One of Broadway’s newer musicals that is inspired by real events, “Buena Vista Social Club” follows four prominent musicians in Havana, Cuba, over four decades, culminating with the creation of the Grammy Award-winning album “Buena Vista Social Club.”
The musical received a staggering 10 Tony nominations and won five.
‘Operation Mincemeat’ — March 2-7, 2027
“Operation Mincemeat,” one of Broadway’s newest musicals, brings to life the successful deception British Intelligence cooked up during World War II to trick the Germans.
The comedy tells how a corpse, with documents containing fake plans for an invasion planted on it, tricked the Axis powers into relocating military personnel so that the Allies could pull off an invasion of Sicily.
“Operation Mincemeat” premiered on Broadway last March and earned one Tony Award for best featured actor in a musical.
‘Maybe Happy Ending’ — April 27-May 2, 2027
“Maybe Happy Ending,” a Korean musical that had a shaky start but ended up defying the odds and winning the 2025 Tony Award for best musical, now brings its exploration of what it means to be human — from a robot perspective — to Salt Lake City.
“‘Maybe Happy Ending’ is an undeniably moving, well-made, adorable musical, and it is a pleasant surprise to see an audience weep at a show about two robots in love,” Christian Lewis wrote for Variety.
‘The Sound of Music’ — June 15-20, 2027
Helmed by Broadway veteran Jack O’Brien, the Tony Award-winning director behind “Hairspray,” the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic “The Sound of Music” now brings the Alps to the Wasatch Front.
“The Sound of Music,” which tells the story of Maria and the von Trapp family, premiered on Broadway in 1959 and won five Tony Awards, including for best musical. It had a Broadway revival nearly 40 years later and remains popular thanks to the 1965 film starring Julie Andrews and the late Christopher Plummer.
‘The Great Gatsby’ — July 27-Aug. 1
“The Great Gatsby” hit Broadway in 2024 — nearly a century after F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel — and tells the story of wealth and social power in the Roaring 20s through the eyes of Jay Gatsby, his former lover, Daisy, and her cousin, Nick.
The musical, which comes roughly a decade after Baz Luhrmann’s film starring Leonardo DiCaprio, won a Tony Award for best costume design.
Broadway at the Eccles 2026-27 season add-ons
‘Beetlejuice’ — Jan. 5-10, 2027
Inspired by the classic Tim Burton film, “Beetlejuice” comes to life in musical-comedy form.
The Broadway production debuted in 2019 and was affected by the pandemic before ultimately closing to make room for “The Music Man” revival, starring Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster, according to Playbill. The musical recently returned to Broadway for a limited engagement that ended in early January.
Although “Beetlejuice” wasn’t a critical success and didn’t snag any Tony Awards, it has been popular with audiences, Variety reported. The musical previously ran at the Eccles Theater in 2023, per Deseret News.
‘Six’ — May 12-16, 2027
“Six” — which had its Utah premiere at the Eccles Theater in 2024, per Deseret News — returns to Salt Lake City for the 2026-27 season.
The musical about the wives of Henry VIII was originally supposed to have its Broadway opening night on March 12, 2020, the Deseret News reported. Instead, a year and a half into the pandemic, the production finally had its official opening in the fall of 2021.
And it was worth the wait — the musical was nominated for eight Tony Awards and won two, including for best original score. The production takes the form of a pop concert, with Henry VIII’s six wives telling their stories to see who suffered the most. The winner gets to become the group’s lead singer.
