Star-driven productions are locking in their spots on Broadway for the 2026-2027 season.
Rachel Zegler will star in a revival of Evita directed by Jamie Lloyd. The production is transferring to Broadway following its London run. Previews are set to begin on February 27, 2027. The show opens on March 25, 2027, at the Winter Garden Theatre.
Rachel Zegler, actress, commented on the significance of the transfer.
Performing Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s brilliant show in London was a dream come true, but being able to partner once again with Jamie to bring ‘Evita’ to Broadway is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Raúl Esparza heads the cast of the new musical Galileo. He is joined by Joy Woods and Jeremy Kushnier in the production. Previews start on November 10, 2026. The musical opens on December 6, 2026, at the Shubert Theatre.
Rosamund Pike makes her Broadway debut in the play titled Inter Alia. Previews for this production begin on November 10, 2026. It opens on December 1, 2026, at the Music Box Theatre.
The schedule places two shows in preview on the same date in November. This overlap is common during busy periods on the Main Stem. The Winter Garden, Shubert, and Music Box theatres each have long histories of presenting successful Broadway productions.
These announcements provide concrete dates for theater fans planning their 2026 and 2027 visits. The mix includes a musical revival, an original musical, and a dramatic play. Each features performers known for work across stage and screen.
The productions are expected to draw audiences with their combination of familiar titles and fresh material. Fans of Andrew Lloyd Webber scores will have the chance to see Evita again in a new interpretation. Those interested in biographical stories may find Galileo appealing. Pike's participation brings additional attention to Inter Alia as her first time performing on a Broadway stage.
Scheduling the openings in December allows time for reviews and word of mouth to build before the holiday period. The exact venues have been chosen to accommodate the technical requirements of each show. Larger musicals often play houses like the Winter Garden. Smaller plays fit well into spaces such as the Music Box.
