The Hippodrome Theatre sets the stage for a spectacular 2025-2026 Broadway Series, featuring a mix of classic tales and fresh adaptations bound to entice theater-goers of all stripes. Opening the season is the North American tour launch of "Water for Elephants," a Broadway musical adapted from the bestselling novel, telling a sweeping story of love and fortune that unfolds after a young man hops on a train to an unknown destiny. According to the WBALTV report, the show will run from September 28 to October 4, raising the curtain on a diverse lineup.
Big productions are making their mark on Baltimore, with the Hippodrome playing host to not one but three North American tour launches. The legendary "The Phantom of the Opera" is slated for a November slot, bringing with it its iconic masked drama and lush scores.
The holiday season isn't left out of the mix, as the Hippodrome will offer Dr. Seuss's "How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical" as its first seasonal option. With fan favorites like "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch," and "Welcome Christmas," this festive classic is a heartwarming addition for families. Additional treats include the bewitching "Wicked," which returns to Baltimore for the holidays, running from December 17 to January 11, 2026, as reported by WMAR2 News. The untold story of the Witches of Oz continues to weave its magic, especially after the boost from last fall's movie release.
As 2026 rolls in, the Hippodrome ushers in "The Great Gatsby," a musical adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic jazz-age novel. This Broadway hit, winning accolades and audiences alike, then gives way to the eclectic smorgasbord of shows like "Back to the Future: The Musical," "Kimberly Akimbo," the political punch of "Suffs," and "A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical," concluding the season with a melodic bang. "Hadestown," the multi-Tony-award-winning musical, also finds a home in March as a season option, intertwining mythic tales of love and power, creating an unforgettable theater experience, according to WBALTV.
