Beaches Musical Ends Broadway Run; National Tour Set
20 May
Summary
- The musical 'Beaches' will conclude its Broadway run on May 24, 2026.
- Producers announced a national tour for 'Beaches' is planned for 2027.
- The show received no Tony Awards nominations, impacting ticket sales.
The Broadway production of the musical "Beaches" will conclude its run at the Majestic Theatre in New York City on Sunday, May 24, 2026. Originally slated to perform through September 6, the show will have completed 32 previews and 84 regular performances. The producers have confirmed that a national tour is in the works, with plans to launch in 2027. Further details regarding the tour are expected to be released later this year.
The decision to close follows the musical being notably absent from the 2026 Tony Awards nominations. Such recognition often provides a crucial boost to Broadway productions. "Beaches" has a complex history, with earlier versions premiering in 2014 and 2015, facing delays after a co-book writer's passing. It was later revised with new music and lyrics before its successful run at Theatre Calgary in 2024, starring Jessica Vosk and Kelli Barrett, which led to its Broadway transfer.
