San Antonio theater fans are in for a full-on Broadway stampede next season, as the Majestic Theatre rolls out its 2026-27 Broadway in San Antonio lineup. The schedule blends long-running juggernauts with five productions making their Alamo City debuts, promising everything from big belting ballads to nostalgic comedy. Subscribers get packaged options and early access, which should help with nabbing those in-demand seats once tickets hit the market.

Five new shows and familiar returns

Five touring productions are set to play San Antonio for the first time: Mrs. Doubtfire (Sept. 15-20, 2026), Buena Vista Social Club (Nov. 24-29, 2026), Alicia Keys’s Hell’s Kitchen (Feb. 16-21, 2027), The Great Gatsby (March 16-17, 2027) and Death Becomes Her (May 4-9, 2027). Returning crowd-pleasers on the Majestic calendar include The Sound of Music (Oct. 6-11, 2026), The Phantom of the Opera (Jan. 6-17, 2027) and Wicked (June 2-20, 2027), as reported by KSAT.

Subscriptions and ticket access

The Majestic’s subscription program returns with its usual perks, including guaranteed seats, early renewal opportunities and priority access to some of the hottest touring titles. Local subscribers can customize and manage their packages through the theater’s subscription portal, where city-specific options and benefits are outlined, according to ATG Tickets.

Prices, renewals and add-on options

Current 2025-26 subscribers will be automatically renewed risk-free into a seven-show package on March 31, 2026. New seven-show subscription packages start at $342. Subscribers will also have priority access to add season options, including Beetlejuice (Nov. 13-15, 2026), A Christmas Story: The Musical (Dec. 11-13, 2026) and Waitress (April 9-11, 2027). Tickets for individual shows are available through the Broadway in San Antonio box office, per KSAT.

What it means for the local arts scene

The blend of premieres and returning blockbusters keeps the Majestic firmly planted at the center of San Antonio’s performing arts calendar, likely boosting regional tourism and filling downtown hotels on show weekends. The venue has long served as the city’s primary stop for Broadway touring seasons, a role highlighted in past coverage by the Express-News.
