JEKYLL & HYDE
September 8 – October 25, 2026
Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place, 175 E. Chestnut St.

Kokandy Productions’ critically acclaimed revival of the 10-time 2025 Jeff Award–nominated musical JEKYLL & HYDE will make its Broadway In Chicago debut at the Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place. The engagement follows last year’s completely sold-out and extended Chicago

run — which marked the musical’s first staging in the city in more than 15 years. Directed by Producing Artistic Director Derek Van Barham with music direction by Nick Sula and choreography by Brenda Didier.

Murder and chaos are pitted against love and virtue in this sweeping gothic musical. The epic struggle between good and evil comes to life on stage in the musical phenomenon, JEKYLL & HYDE. Based on the classic story by Robert Louis Stevenson and featuring a thrilling score of pop rock hits from multi-Grammy- and Tony-nominated Frank Wildhorn and double-Oscar and Grammy-winning Leslie Bricusse, JEKYLL & HYDE has mesmerized audiences the world over.

JEKYLL & HYDE is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com

OPERATION MINCEMEAT: A NEW MUSICAL
September 29 – October 11, 2026
CIBC Theatre, 18 W. Monroe St.

How did a dead body, a fake love letter, and — of all people — Ian Fleming turn the tide of World War II? Olivier Award winner for Best New Musical and a 2025 Tony® winner, OPERATION MINCEMEAT: A NEW MUSICAL is the best-reviewed show in West End history with 88 five-star reviews and

the #1 Broadway Show of 2025 (Entertainment Weekly).

It’s 1943 and the Allies are on the ropes. Luckily, they’re about to gamble our futures on a stolen corpse. Singin’ in the Rain meets Strangers on a Train, it’s the fast-paced, hilarious true story of the secret mission that won WWII.

“It’s not just the best musical I’ve seen; it’s the most rewarding theatrical experience I’ve ever had.” Taffy Brodesser-Akner (New York Times)

JERSEY BOYS
November 10 – November 22, 2026
CIBC Theatre, 18 W. Monroe St.

The original Broadway sensation returns to the road! Celebrating 20 years-Jersey style!

They were just four guys from Jersey, until they sang their very first note.

They had a sound nobody had ever heard... and the radio just couldn’t get enough of. But while their harmonies were perfect on stage, off stage it was a very different story--a story that has made them an international sensation all over again. The show features all their hits including “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Oh What a Night,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” “Beggin’” and “Working My Way Back to You.”

Go behind the music and inside the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons in the Tony Award®-winning, original Broadway sensation, JERSEY BOYS.  From the streets of New Jersey to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this is the musical that’s too good to be true.

MAYBE HAPPY ENDING
January 5 – January 17, 2027
CIBC Theatre, 18 W. Monroe St.

Winner of 6 Tony® Awards, including Best Musical, MAYBE HAPPY ENDING tells the deeply human story of a chance encounter that sparks connection, adventure, and maybe even love. Helmed by Tony Award-winning director Michael Arden (Parade), MAYBE HAPPY ENDING has

been called “one of the best musicals in years” (USA Today ) and even “The best musical in eons!” (Observer). Don’t miss the totally original new musical adventure that explores what it means to be human. Even if they’re not.

OH, MARY!
January 19 – February 7, 2027
CIBC Theatre, 18 W. Monroe St.

OH, MARY! is a dark comedy about a miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. Unrequited yearning, alcoholism, and suppressed desires abound in this 80-minute one-act play that finally examines the forgotten life and dreams

of Mrs. Lincoln, through the lens of an idiot (playwright Cole Escola).

Declared “one of the best comedies in years” by The New York Times, OH, MARY! received two Tony® Awards including Best Direction of a Play (Sam Pinkleton), Drama League Awards for Outstanding Play and Outstanding Direction of a Play, as well as a special citation from the New York Drama Critics’ Circle. It was named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
