Another magical season of touring Broadway is taking center stage at Playhouse Square, who today announced the seven titles on the 2026-2027 KeyBank Broadway Series.
Cleveland will once again be the first city to see the touring cast of a hit Broadway show, as the hilarious new musical comedy Death Becomes Her launches its national tour from Playhouse Square in the fall. Based on the 1992 movie by the same name, it is the savagely funny musical about two best frenemies who would do anything to look eternally fabulous, including drinking a secret magic potion. Technical rehearsals will begin in mid-August ahead of the official tour opening in September.
“We’re ecstatic to usher in a new season with the launch of this remarkable tour at Playhouse Square,” said David Greene, senior vice president of programming at Playhouse Square. “It’s an honor and privilege to witness a production come to life on our stage and to offer our audiences the first look at what promises to be a fantastic touring show. And the extended rehearsal period delivers a meaningful boost to our local economy in addition to more local hours for the talented work force within our organization.”
