This morning, Lincoln Center Theater announced their 2026-2027 Broadway and Off-Broadway season. Under the artistic direction of Lear DeBessonet, who just won a Tony Award for her production of Ragtime at Lincoln Center Theater, the season’s Broadway lineup at the Vivian Beaumont Theater includes A Few Good Men and The Sound of Music.
The new season on Broadway at the Vivian Beaumont Theater brings the first-ever Broadway revival of Aaron Sorkin’s seminal work, A Few Good Men, starring Bradley Whitford (The West Wing) and Tom Blyth (The Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds and States), with direction by Tony Award winner Michael Arden. Performances are set to begin on October 8, 2026, with an opening night set for October 29, 2026. The production will run for 13 weeks only. Tickets will go on sale July 21, 2026.
In the spring, Artistic Director Lear DeBessonet returns to the Beaumont with the first Broadway revival of The Sound of Music in nearly 30 years, starring Tony Award nominee Jasmine Amy Rogers and choreographed by Christopher Gattelli. Performances will begin March 23, 2027 with an opening night of April 15, 2027 and will run for 17 weeks only. Ticket information will be announced at a later date.
The Off-Broadway season at the Mitzi E. Newhouse and Claire Tow Theaters commences this summer with the previously announced The Whoopi Monologues, directed by Whitney White and starring Dominique Fishback, Kecia Lewis, Danielle Pinnock, Kerry Washington, and Kara Young. The season continues this fall with August Wilson’s Seven Guitars, directed by Ruben Santiago-Hudson. Following is the American premiere of Playing Burton – a play by Mark Jenkins starring Matthew Rhys. Next at the Newhouse is the world premiere of Born in the Dirt, reuniting playwright Kimberly Belflower and Tony winning director Danya Taymor. LCT3 at the Claire Tow Theater’s season, curated by artistic director Maria Manuela Goyanes, includes creation stories and all the important importants, the new play by Mfoniso Udofia, directed by Tamilla Woodard; Pretend It’s Pretend, a new play by Emma Watkins, with direction by Annie Tippe; and the return of The Comedy Series in the spring of 2027 with artists to be announced.
DeBessonet commented, “Our second season is rooted in a simple belief: people are hungry for meaningful shared experiences. We have curated a collection of shows that invite connection and conversation with the world around us. We want audiences to feel the hum of occasion and the promise of care from the moment they arrive at LCT. We hope these productions leave audiences with a deeper sense of truth, a renewed capacity for wonder, and a fuller connection to the heart of our shared humanity.”
