The show is a modern retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice: Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy goes to the land of the dead in hopes of retrieving girl, boy loses girl again. “It’s an old song,” sings our narrator, Hermes (André De Shields, a master of arch razzle-dazzle). “And we’re gonna sing it again.” But the newness of Anaïs Mitchell’s musical account—and Rachel Chavkin’s gracefully dynamic staging—bring this old story to quivering life.—Adam Feldman

Starts September 2 
Sara Bareilles and Jessie Nelson's hit 2016 musical, about a lady who’s a whiz at making pies but messes up everything else, returns for a limited run after closing at the start of 2020, with Bareilles herself in the lead role through October 17. The bright, frisky score is a delight, and Diane Paulus directs with whimsy and verve.—David Cote

Starts September 14 
This John Kander–Fred Ebb–Bob Fosse favorite, revived by director Walter Bobbie and choreographer Ann Reinking, tells the saga of chorus girl Roxie Hart, who murders her lover and, with the help of a huckster lawyer, becomes a vaudeville sensation. This production is now the longest-running American musical in Broadway history; the cast frequently features guest celebrities in short stints.—Adam Feldman

Starts September 14 
Lin‑Manuel Miranda applies 21st-century musical storytelling to the rags-to-Treasury tale of Alexander Hamilton in this dazzlingly ingenious national sensation. It’s a success story of the best kind, breathtaking but also breath-giving: an inspiration. Even if you've seen the filmed version now available on Disney+, there's a special thrill to seeing this show live.—Adam Feldman

Starts September 14 
Director-designer Julie Taymor takes a reactionary Disney cartoon about the natural right of kings and transforms it into a gorgeous celebration of color and movement. The movie’s Elton John–Tim Rice score is expanded with African rhythm and music, and through elegant puppetry, Taymor populates the stage with an amazing menagerie of beasts; her audacious staging expands a simple cub into the pride of Broadway.—Adam Feldman

Starts September 14 
This musical prequel to The Wizard of Oz addresses surprisingly complex themes, such as standards of beauty, morality and, believe it or not, fighting fascism. Thanks to Winnie Holzman’s witty book and Stephen Schwartz’s pop-inflected score, Wicked soars. The current cast includes Lindsay Pearce as Elphaba and Ginna Claire Mason as Glinda.—David Cote

Starts September 17 
This joyous, award-winning theatrical concert by David Byrne—the brain-expanding solo artist, musical magpie, erstwhile Talking Head and iconic oversize-suit wearer—returns to Broadway for an encore. The set includes songs from his best-selling 2018 album, American Utopia, as well as highlights from his older material; a filmed version, directed by Spike Lee, premiered on HBO last year. 

Starts September 17 
The six wives of Henry VIII—two Catherines, a Katherine, two Annes and the Jane Seymour who didn't star in Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman—sing their grievances in a new musical that takes the form of a modern pop concert. Conceived in 2017 by a pair of students at Cambridge University, Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, the show moved quickly to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and then to the West End. The Broadway version is directed by Moss and Jamie Armitage.

Starts September 21 
Irene Sankoff and David Hein’s swelling heart of a musical tells a true story from the aftermath of 9/11, when 38 flights were forced to land in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland. Under Christopher Ashley’s fluid direction, 12 versatile actors play dozens of roles. The show makes a persuasive case for the value of good intentions; for this kind of uplift you don’t need planes.—Adam Feldman

Starts September 25 
The rise and crash of the Lehman Brothers' financial empire is the subject of this epic by Stefano Massini (adapted by Ben Power). Sam Mendes (The Ferryman) directs the production, which covers more than 150 years of history and lasts three and a half hours. Simon Russell Beale and Adam Godley reprise the central roles they played in the play's 2018 premiere at the National Theatre in London and at the Park Avenue Armory, now joined by Adrian Lester.

Starts September 28 
Disney's toon tuner is a tourist-family–friendly theme-park attraction, robed in the billowing fabrics of Arabian fantasy. Composer Alan Menken adds new tunes to the 1992 original soundtrack, and Chad Beguelin provides a fresh book. As in the 1992 film, the Genie steals the show from its eponymous “street rat” hero. Stuffed with glitz, the musical is a carpet with little texture but colorful patterns aplenty.—Adam Feldman

Starts October 1 
Playwright and slam poet Keenan Scott II sheds theatrical light on Black men in a group portrait of seven Brooklyn denizens. After a successful premiere at Syracuse Stage in 2019, the show now makes its Broadway debut in a production directed by Steve H. Broadnax III; the cast includes Pose heartthrob Dyllón Burnside.   

Starts October 5 
Aaron Sorkin's stage adaptation of Harper Lee's revered 1960 novel is commendable, and the execution is exemplary. Director Bartlett Sher's elegant production is stately but not stodgy. Jeff Daniels returns to his role as 1930s Alabama lawyer Atticus Finch, a paragon of decency appropriately troubled by the unchanging world around him, with Tony winner Celia Keenan-Bolger as his precocious daughter, Scout.—Adam Feldman

Starts October 7 
The very talented performers of Freestyle Love Supreme offer a funky and inventive tribute to spontaneity in this 90-minute storm of improvised raps stuffed into sketches, directed by Hamilton's Thomas Kail. Notable alums of the show (such as Lin-Manuel Miranda, James Monroe Iglehart, Christopher Jackson and Daveed Diggs) may drop by for surprise guest appearances during the run—not that the show's core cast of five needs any help.—Adam Feldman

Starts October 8 
This jukebox biomusical follows Tina Turner from her early years through her self-reinvention as a solo star in the 1980s. The show is corny and broad, but as the rock & roll icon at the center of the show, Adrienne Warren overcomes the mediocrity around her to deliver a performance of superhuman stamina and skill.—Adam Feldman

Starts October 13 
Playwright-director Conor McPherson weaves 20 songs by Bob Dylan into this adumbral evocation of America during the Great Depression. The songs exist in dramatic brackets; when the excellent actors sing, they usually leave the action of the play and face out to the audience. McPherson uses Dylan’s tunes as atmosphere in the broadest sense: They are the air the characters breathe.—Adam Feldman

Starts October 16 
The Temptations are hard to resist. No matter how much you may chafe at the clunky machinery of Broadway’s latest jukebox biomusical, Ain’t Too Proud, the hits just keep coming, distracting your critical faculties with zaps of R&B greatness. And when the show is at full power, the gleam of well-polished nostalgia is strong.—Adam Feldman

Starts October 21 
The jukebox-musical train powers forward on the proven tracks of Alanis Morissette's 1995 album in a show adapted by Diablo Cody (Juno) and directed by Diane Paulus (Pippin). As it traces the fault lines in a suburban family, the musical wants to heal us of multiple social ailments at once, and it starts to feel like several after-school specials crammed together. But it has moments of exciting stagecraft and performance.—Adam Feldman

Starts October 21 
Broadway's love affair with men in drag continues with this musical adaptation of the 1993 movie about a divorced dad turned cross-dressed Scottish housekeeper. Adapted by Something Rotten!'s John O'Farrell and Karey and Wayne Kirkpatrick, the show is directed by musical-comedy ace Jerry Zaks (Hello, Dolly!). Rob McClure, most recently seen in Beetlejuice, fills Robin Williams's sensible shoes in the title role.

Starts October 22 
More than three decades into its Broadway run, Andrew Lloyd Webber's horror-romance musical continues to draw tourists into its candlelit lair.While the epic synth-rock chords of the title song may ground Phantom in the 1980s, the show’s Puccini-inflected airs are far grander than most of what one hears elsewhere on Broadway, and Hal Prince's production remains a marvel of sumptuous surfaces.—Adam Feldman

Starts November 2 
Uneasy lies the head that wears the tiara in this new biomusical about Diana, Princess of Wales, whose marriage to Prince Charles came undone in a sea of tabloid ugliness. Jeanna de Waal and Roe Hartrampf play the royal couple, flanked by Judy Kaye as Queen Elizabeth II and Erin Davie as Camilla Parker-Bowles. Joe DiPietro and David Bryan, who wrote the 2010 Tony winner Memphis, are the writers. (A filmed version of the performance was shot during the pandemic and will drop on Netflix on October 1.)

Starts November 15 
Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s path-breaking 1970 musical about love in the big city has had several revivals, but this one has a twist: The commitment-averse main character is now a woman, played by The Band’s Visit’s mesmerizing Katrina Lenk. The American cast of this London transfer, directed by Marianne Elliott (Angels in America), includes Broadway überdiva Patti LuPone.

Starts December 11 
A high school student is thrust into social relevance after a classmate's suicide this captivating original musical. Benj Pasek and Justin Paul's score combines well-crafted lyrics with an exciting pop sound, and Steven Levenson’s book gives all the characters shaded motives.—Adam Feldman

Starts December 20 
Break out the trombones! Hugh Jackman returns to Broadway in Meredith Willson's beloved 1957 musical about a wily con man who stirs up "Trouble" in small-town Iowa but meets his match at the local library. This revival gives him the most deluxe berth imaginable; Sutton Foster is his leading lady. The production reassembles nearly the entire creative team of the Bette Midler Hello, Dolly!, including director Jerry Zaks.
