Ensemble Arts Philly is delighted to partner with The Shubert Organization to announce the 2025-2026 Broadway season with an extraordinary lineup of staged classics and new theatrical works.
The season features 13 dazzling shows with a combined 27 Tony® Awards, 19 Drama Desk™ Awards, 6 Olivier Awards, and 2 Grammy Awards®, with a mix of blockbuster adaptations, uplifting storytelling, and crowd-pleasing favorites, approachable for longtime theatergoers and new audiences alike.
“Our theaters have been home to the great American genre of Broadway for more than 160 years. The Academy of Music, the Miller Theater, and the Shubert’s Forrest Theatre each represent a distinct period in theater history, hosting pre-Broadway runs of many iconic shows before their New York premieres and launching careers on stage and screen,” said Ryan Fleur, Interim President & CEO of The Philadelphia Orchestra and Ensemble Arts. “This year, our 13 presentations honor and connect with our rich legacy as presenters in Philadelphia – from shows that look at the past like Suffs (Fun fact: Susan B. Anthony spoke about women’s suffrage at our Academy of Music in 1870!) to looking ahead at the genre’s innovative future (or Back to the Future…).”
