Are you a Broadway fan in Miami? Here are the hits coming your way
Start spreading the news: The Adrienne Arsht Center’s box office for the 2026–27 Broadway in Miami season is open for business.
Anyone missing the bright lights of the snowbound Great White Way shouldn’t have FOMO in the least. On tap are six major productions, including returning favorites, beloved musicals and one megablockbuster with a colada-strong Cuban connection.
The season begins with a bang, so gather the colegas or familia for “The Buena Vista Social Club.” The Tony and Grammy winner spans four decades, starting in 1956 Havana, telling the story of the titular ensemble pursuing their dreams and making the hugely successful 1997 namesake album. You’ll hear all their most recognizable tracks, including the hauntingly sensual ballad about two lovers on the beach, “Chan Chan.”
Next up: Created in collaboration with Neil Diamond himself, “A Beautiful Noise” is the true tale of how a kid from Brooklyn became a chart-busting rock star, with 120 million albums sold and counting. This retrospective is a must for any fan of the 84-year-old icon behind eternal hits “America,” “Forever in Blue Jeans” and “Sweet Caroline” (“Bah, bah, bah” ... “so good, so good, so good”),
Jay Gatsby was a 1 percenter before 1 percenters were even a thing. “The Great Gatsby,” F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Roaring Twenties classic American novel of immense wealth, love and tragedy still holds up. This lavish play is not just all about longing, debauchery and West Egg shenanigans — there’s incredible choreography set to a jazz-pop mix from Dominique Kelley of “So You Think You Can Dance” fame.
The favorite movie from your childhood, “The Sound of Music,” is back for a new generation to obsess over. Based on the 1965 Oscar-winner inspired by Austria’s von Trapp stage family, the show covers all the nostalgia bases with such classics as “Do-Re-Mi,” “Something Good” and “Sixteen Going on Seventeen.” We’re happy to report the magical Rodgers & Hammerstein score still gives you all the feels. Don’t blame us if seeing this makes you want to book a trip to channel Julie Andrews’ singing nun in the Alps.
Didn’t make it to Disney World over the holidays? Take the littles to “Beauty & the Beast” and all is forgiven. As the fairytale goes: An unkind prince is zapped into a hideous creature until he is shown true love, which happens with Belle, a lovely woman he imprisons in his castle. Warning: “Be Our Guest,” the ensemble number starring the candelabra, clock, teapot and other household objects, will remain in your head long after the curtain falls.
The name Francesco Stephen Castelluccio doesn’t ring a bell? Learn all about the heartthrob falsetto, better known as Frankie Valli, in the revival of “Jersey Boys,” which also spawned Clint Eastwood’s biopic of the same name. You’ll be transported to the early 1950s Garden State, where Valli and his band, The Four Seasons, kept coming out with jukebox hit after hit. Think “Sherry,“ “Walk Like a Man” and “Big Girls Don’t Cry.”
