New York, NY – Between November 2026 and April 2027, four new Broadway musicals will open in New York City that are certain to be hits with visitors from around the world. Even after the show is over, the stories behind Wanted, Galileo, DOLLY: A True American Musical, and Purple Rain will continue to resonate with travelers and locals alike. By connecting each show to a museum, venue, or neighborhood, travelers can turn their theatre experience into a full-day itinerary of discovery.
● Wanted follows twin sisters Mary and Martha Clarke, black women who pass for white and hide in plain sight in 1893 Texas, as they straddle a dangerous line between two Americas. The soulful new musical, with book and lyrics by Angelica Chéri, a real-life descendant of the sisters, opens at the James Earl Jones Theatre on November 8, 2026. Before seeing the show, the Tenement Museum offers a companion visit through its Reclaiming Black Spaces initiative, which traces how Black New Yorkers shaped Lower Manhattan.
● Galileo follows the maverick scientist whose astronomical discoveries reshape humanity’s understanding of the universe, forcing him to defend his findings before the most powerful religious institution in the world. The new musical opens at the Shubert Theatre on December 6, 2026, marking Raúl Esparza’s return to Broadway after more than 13 years. A perfect pairing, travelers can spend the afternoon under the dome at the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History, then watch the collision of science and faith play out that evening.
● DOLLY: A True Original Musical traces Dolly Parton’s rise from the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee to the top of the charts, told in her own words and through the songs that shaped her life. Parton co-wrote the book and wrote new music for the show alongside “Jolene,” “9 to 5,” and “I Will Always Love You.” Previews begin in December at the St. James Theatre, with opening night January 19, 2027, what would have been Dolly’s 81st birthday. Travelers can carry the evening into Williamsburg at Desert 5 Spot, a country bar with nightly line dancing lessons and live performances from emerging artists.
● Purple Rain opens in Minneapolis in 1984, where a magnetic young performer known as The Kid seems poised to lead his band to stardom until his past threatens everything he has built. Featuring more than 20 Prince hits including “When Doves Cry” and “The Beautiful Ones,” the musical opens at the Majestic Theatre on April 12, 2027. A few blocks away, Hard Rock Cafe occupies the site of the old Paramount Theater and holds one of the city’s largest music memorabilia collections, with guided tours running in the afternoon before curtain.
