    Sizzling Onstage

    These are the 7 can't-miss shows in Dallas-Fort Worth theater for July

    Lindsey Wilson

    I can't stress this enough: Nearly all the theaters in Dallas-Fort Worth are air conditioned. If that's not enough of a draw, then remember that the theater here is awesome. How awesome? Here are 7 examples of can't-miss shows coming up this month.

    Pippin, July 7-19
    Dallas Summer Musicals
    The national tour of the recent Broadway revival not only features acrobats, stunt artists, illusionists and other circus-inspired acts, it also has a pretty cool co-star: John Rubinstein, who originated the role of Pippin and is now playing his war-loving father, King Charles.

    Festival of Independent Theatres, July 10-Aug. 1
    Bath House Cultural Center
    After last year's lackluster lineup, FIT Fest is back and ready to rumble. A roster of small indie plays from groups including Gorilla Theater, Upstart Productions, DGDG and WingSpan Theatre Company will play in twofers, giving audiences the chance to experience radically different productions they might not otherwise have seen. Some of the city's most in-demand actors — Michael Federico, Joey Folsom, Janielle Kastner, Bradley Campbell, Jeffrey Colangelo — join fresh-faced new performers, some from Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing Arts.

    Othello, July 15-Aug. 8
    Second Thought Theatre
    Did you miss Jenny Ledel in Belleville? First, shame on you. Second, here's another chance to see the actress do her thing, this time alongside her real-life husband Alex Organ in Shakespeare's expert display of manipulation and betrayal. Joel Ferrell is directing, and since his last collab with STT yielded the magnificent Gruesome Playground Injuries in 2013, this bodes well.

    Catch Me If You Can, July 24-Aug. 9
    Uptown Players
    Another based-on-a-true-story story, this musicalization of Frank Abagnale Jr.'s stint as a con man is as energetic and lively as the young man who duped dozens into thinking he was a pilot, a lawyer, a doctor and more. The bubbly, '60s-influenced score is from Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, the duo behind Hairspray and the Bombshell songs in the television show Smash.

    Sweet Charity, July 24-Aug. 16
    WaterTower Theatre
    "The stripper with a heart of gold" trope is often attributed to this musical, about down-on-her-luck dance hall girl Charity Hope Valentine (played at WTT by comic actress Whitney Hennen) and her unflagging optimism. Adapted from Nights of Cabiria, a film by Federico Fellini, the musical includes hits such as “Hey, Big Spender,” “Rhythm of Life” and “If My Friends Could See Me Now."

    Motown the Musical, July 28-Aug. 16
    AT&T Performing Arts Center
    You know Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye, but how much do you know about the man behind the sound, Barry Gordy? This former featherweight boxer founded Motown and forever changed the soundtrack of America, and it's fascinating to see his story played out onstage. Get ready to tap your toes and bob your head...

    The Glass Menagerie, July 30-Aug. 23
    Theatre Three
    How's this for a powerhouse cast: Connie Coit as Amanda, Blake Blair as Tom, Sterling Gafford as Jim and Allison Pistorius as Laura. The first show of Theatre Three's 54th season is poised to be a lovely production of Tennessee Williams' classic memory play.

    Pippin flips its way into Dallas beginning July 7.

    New Broadway Dallas season conjures Harry Potter and Phantom of the Opera

    Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will be the final production of Broadway Dallas' 2026-2027 season.

    The 2026-2027 Broadway Series from Broadway Dallas will feature 11 different productions, including six shows making their Dallas premieres and the return of a number of audience favorites.

    Presented in partnership with Broadway Across America, the season will be offered in both seven- and eight-show packages, with three shows eligible to be added on.

    Leading off the season will be the Rodgers & Hammerstein classic, The Sound of Music. The vibrant and romantic tale of Maria and the von Trapp family has universal themes of love, resilience, and the power of music.

    Featuring beloved songs like “Do-Re-Mi,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen,” “Edelweiss,” and the title song, the production will run September 8-20, 2026 at the Music Hall at Fair Park.

    Up next will be the five-time Tony Award-winning musical Buena Vista Social Club. Inspired by true events, the musical brings the Grammy Award-winning album to life - and tells the story of the legends who lived it.

    The show features a world-class band alongside a sensational cast of musicians, actors, and dancers from across the globe. The production will run November 3-15, 2026 at the Music Hall at Fair Park.

    Season subscribers can add on a special short-term show, Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical, featuring songs like "You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch" and "Welcome Christmas” from the original animated series.

    Running November 25-29, 2026 at the Music Hall at Fair Park, the production is narrated by Max the Dog as the mean and scheming Grinch, whose heart is "two sizes too small," decides to steal Christmas away from the Holiday loving Whos.

    An audience favorite, Cameron Mackintosh's revitalized new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s legendary musical, The Phantom of the Opera, will also be part of the holiday season, running December 16, 2026-January 3, 2027 at the Music Hall at Fair Park.

    With songs like “The Music of the Night,” “All I Ask of You,” and the iconic title song, the production tells the tale of a disfigured musical genius known only as ‘The Phantom’ who haunts the depths of the Paris Opera House.

    Broadway Dallas will kick off 2027 with its first show of the season at Winspear Opera House, The Notebook, running January 12-14.

    Based on the best-selling novel that inspired the early-2000s film, The Notebook tells the story of Allie and Noah, both from different worlds, who share a lifetime of love despite the forces that threaten to pull them apart.

    The series will head back to the Music Hall at Fair Park with Hell's Kitchen, the hit musical created and inspired by the music of Alicia Keys, running February 3-14, 2027.

    The musical, featuring a mix of Keys' greatest hits and songs written for the show, follows Ali, a 17-year-old girl searching for freedom, passion, and her place in the world.

    The second and final show at Winspear Opera House will be the return of Hadestown, running March 30-April 4, 2027.

    The winner of eight Tony Awards, Hadestown intertwines two mythic tales - that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone - as it invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back.

    The final four shows of the season will include three Dallas premieres and returning favorite, starting with Water for Elephants, running April 13-25 at the Music Hall at Fair Park.

    After losing what matters most, a young man jumps a moving train unsure of where the road will take him and finds a new home with the remarkable crew of a traveling circus, and a life - and love - beyond his wildest dreams.

    Death Becomes Her, which premiered on Broadway in 2024, will debut the following month at the Music Hall at Fair Park, May 11-23, 2027.

    The musical comedy based on the 1992 film centers on famous actress Madeline Ashton and her best frenemy Helen Sharp, who are about to go too far … thanks to a mysterious woman named Viola Van Horn and a secret potion that’s to die for.

    The final season add-on option is The Book of Mormon, celebrating its 15th anniversary in 2026. It will run June 1-6, 2027 at the Music Hall at Fair Park.

    The outrageous musical comedy follows the adventures of a mismatched pair of Mormon missionaries, sent halfway across the world to spread the Good Word.

    Wrapping up the season is the long-anticipated Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, finally coming to Dallas 11 years after its London premiere. It will run June 15-27, 2027 at the Music Hall at Fair Park.

    When Harry Potter’s head-strong son Albus befriends the son of his fiercest rival, Draco Malfoy, it sparks an unbelievable new journey for them all - with the power to change the past and future forever.

    Season tickets are available now, with seven-show packages starting at $270. New subscribers can visit BroadwayDallas.org or call 866-276-4884. All current subscribers will be automatically renewed into the 2026-2027 season and beyond risk free.

    Single tickets to individual shows will go on sale at a to-be-determined future date. Group pricing is available now for groups of 10 or more. Reserve by calling 214-426-4768 or emailing Groups@BroadwayDallas.org.
