Must-See Broadway Shows Coming This Fall Season
Broadway is roaring back to life this fall with an exciting lineup of both classic revivals and innovative new productions. Theater enthusiasts have much to anticipate as the 2023 season promises some of the most compelling performances in recent years.
Leading the pack is a groundbreaking revival of Thornton Wilder's 'Our Town,' featuring an innovative staging approach that brings this American classic into the 21st century. The production, directed by Kenny Leon, stars Emmy winner Sterling K. Brown as the Stage Manager, offering a fresh perspective on this timeless story about small-town life.
Perhaps the most buzzed-about production this season is the revival of 'Gypsy,' starring Patti LuPone as the iconic Mama Rose. This marks LuPone's triumphant return to Broadway in a role that seems tailor-made for her commanding stage presence. The musical, featuring the timeless score by Jule Styne and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, begins previews in October at the St. James Theatre.
Other notable productions include:
- A new musical adaptation of 'The Devil Wears Prada'
- A revival of August Wilson's 'The Piano Lesson'
- The highly anticipated transfer of London's 'Back to the Future: The Musical'
Theater-goers should note that many shows are offering early-bird ticket specials and student discounts. With Broadway continuing its post-pandemic renaissance, these productions are expected to sell out quickly, making advance booking essential.
Whether you're a longtime theater enthusiast or new to Broadway, this fall season offers something for everyone, combining beloved classics with fresh, contemporary productions that showcase the very best of American theater.
