Broadway Fall 2026 Preview
Broadway’s fall lineup is stacked — here’s your first look at the season’s must-see new shows.
Courtroom drama, rock ‘n’ roll rebellion, and pure horror are all landing on Broadway this fall. Here’s where to start.
Inter Alia — Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) makes her Broadway debut as a judge whose toughest case might be her own life, as she tries to hold career and family together under the weight of the law.
Galileo — Raúl Esparza (Law & Order: SVU) plays the astronomer who dared to challenge the church — and paid for it — in this electric rock musical about the price of telling the truth.
Paranormal Activity — Just in time for spooky season: the cult horror franchise comes to the stage, chasing one couple from Chicago to London and proving some things follow you no matter how far you run.
These are just three of the shows landing this fall — and the best seats won’t last. Book now to lock in your spot for opening weeks.
