    National tour of Moulin Rouge

    Moulin Rouge! The Musical is touring here and the theme of this year's Broadway Dallas gala.

    If this spring weather has you feeling restless, then March's theater lineup is ready to follow suit. There are lots of very short runs happening this month, with some shows only playing a day or two.

    That means you'd better be quick in catching those you want to see, and also that this is an opportunity to see many different shows in a short time span.

    We are also heavy into society season, and as such there are three theater-related galas on this list as well. Two occur on April 1, a Saturday, so we're listing them here to make sure you don't miss out.

    In order of start date, here are 12 local shows to watch this month:

    On Your Feet!
    Broadway at the Center, March 2-4
    On Your Feet! is the inspiring true story about heart, heritage, and two people who believed in their talent — and each other — to become an international sensation: Gloria and Emilio Estefan. The musical features some of the most iconic songs of the past quarter-century, including "Rhythm is Gonna Get You," "Conga," "Get On Your Feet," "Don’t Want To Lose You Now," "1-2-3," and "Coming Out of the Dark."

    Silver Foxes
    Uptown Players, March 2-12
    This world premiere comedy from James Berg and Stan Zimmerman, who wrote Golden Girls, is about an ensemble of queer men who rescue their best friend from a homophobic assisted living facility. The three older men plus their buddy’s younger twink lover navigate stray cats, online hook-up sites, and the real estate-ravenous lesbian couple next door to become a fabulous de facto family in an iconic midcentury Palm Springs house. There will be a special talk back with director Michael Urie and the playwrights after the March 4 performance.

    Potted Potter: The Unauthorized Harry Experience
    AT&T Performing Arts Center, March 3-5
    Potted Potter takes on the ultimate challenge of condensing all seven Harry Potter books (and a real-life game of Quidditch) into 70 hilarious minutes. The production has been updated with a refreshed set design, upgraded illusions, and all the latest hilarious insights into the wonderful world of all thing Hogwarts. It includes favorite characters, a special appearance from a fire-breathing dragon, endless costumes, jokes, songs, props, and a generous helping of Hogwarts magic, plus lots of mayhem.

    La Fete Rouge et Violette
    WaterTower Theatre, March 4
    Immerse yourself in the spectacle of theater at the Red and Purple Ball, a night of fine dining, musical performances, acrobatic feats, specialty crafted cocktails, a luxe dinner by celebrity chef Blythe Beck, and more. Be the first to experience the future of WaterTower Theatre with stellar performances by Dallas-based professional musical theater artists and special guests.

    Nuevo Mundo
    Teatro Dallas, March 4, 11, 18
    In celebration of the fresh new voices and performance styles blossoming across the global south, Nuevo Mundo, Teatro Dallas' first-ever bilingual new works festival, features three emerging directors and the plays they have selected for a staged reading series. Playwrights include Emilio Infante, Bella O'Brien, and Jaime Chabaud.

    Beautiful: The Carole King Musical
    Casa Mañana, March 4-12
    Before she was hit-maker Carole King, she was Carole Klein, a spunky, young songwriter from Brooklyn with a unique voice. From the chart-topping hits she wrote for the biggest acts in music to her own life-changing, trailblazing success with Tapestry, Beautiful takes audiences back to where it all began – and takes them on the ride of a lifetime.

    Mind Over Murder!
    Pegasus Theatre, March 9-25
    Who murdered famed magician Marko the Magnificent? Could it have been his manager? Or his wife? Perhaps his assistant. All of the suspects and more are gathered at the mansion that was Marko’s home on the one-year anniversary of his death while performing the death-defying "bullet catch" for the reading of his will. Can Harry Hunsacker solve this crime before it’s too late? The production will be presented in RadioVizion, an alternative technique devised by Pegasus Theatre that focuses on evoking the experience and glamour of being in a live radio studio of the 1930s and 1940s. Live sound effects, actors at period-style live microphones, and costumes suggestive of the era complete the effect.

    Menopause the Musical
    AT&T Performing Arts Center, March 10-11
    In Menopause the Musical, four women at a lingerie sale have nothing in common but a black lace bra and memory loss, hot flashes, night sweats, not enough sex, too much sex, and more. The musical parody is set to classic tunes from the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s.

    Moulin Rouge! The Musical
    Broadway Dallas, March 15-April 2
    Welcome to a world of splendor and romance, of eye-popping excess, of glitz, grandeur, and glory, a world where Bohemians and aristocrats rub elbows and revel in electrifying enchantment. Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary film comes to life onstage, remixed in a new musical mash-up extravaganza. The production is a theatrical celebration of truth, beauty, freedom, and — above all — love.

    Last Stop On Market Street
    Dallas Children's Theater, March 18-April 1
    On a Sunday after church in a bustling, ethnically and culturally diverse American city, CJ and his Nana board the public bus for their weekly trip across town to help out at a soup kitchen. Along the way, CJ notices the many differences among people and asks tons of curious question. With Nana’s fearless and compassionate guidance, CJ discovers that everyone and everything has a unique rhythm and purpose. This inspiring and imaginative play is based on the New York Times bestseller that won a Newbery Medal, Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor, and a Caldecott Honor.

    cleaVage: The Front Story
    Musical Writers Productions, March 19
    The “real” story behind fake breasts, cleaVage is a larger-than-life musical comedy inspired by the doctors and patients who shaped the spectacular rise, fall, and rebound of silicone gel breast implants. This staged reading will be held at Dallas Children's Theater.

    Annie
    Broadway at the Bass, March 28-April 2
    Holding onto hope when times are tough can take an awful lot of determination, and sometimes, an awful lot of determination comes in a surprisingly small package. Little Orphan Annie has reminded generations of theatergoers that sunshine is always right around the corner, and now the best-loved musical of all time is set to return in a new production.

    The Mountaintop
    Circle Theatre, March 30-April 15
    The Mountaintop is a gripping re-imagination of events the night before the assassination of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. On April 3, 1968, after delivering one of his most memorable speeches, an exhausted Dr. King retires to his room at the Lorraine Motel while a storm rages outside. When a mysterious stranger arrives with some surprising news, King is forced to confront his destiny and his legacy to his people.

    Broadway Dallas 2023 Gala: Moulin Rouge
    Music Hall at Fair Park, April 1
    Celebrating the best of Broadway, the evening begins with a cocktail reception followed by a pre-show dinner. Following the full performance of Moulin Rouge! The Musical, with complimentary intermission cocktails, guests will then have access to the After-Hours experience featuring French-inspired fare, a full flowing bar, tunes spun by DJ Sheka, plus a special performance by Trap Opera Star Madelyn Brené and more sparkling surprises throughout the night.

    Lastly, guests can enjoy a late-night snack from Fletcher’s Original Corny Dogs food truck as they head home. The gala is headed by Honorary Chairs Ambassador Kathryn Walt Hall and Craig Hall, along with Gala Chairs Jolie Humphrey and Gail Plummer.

    Turtle Creek Chorale Rhapsody with Patti LuPone
    Meyerson Symphony Center, April 1
    Guests can spend an evening with a true Broadway legend as Patti LuPone explores — through indelible interpretations of classic Broadway showtunes by the likes of Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart, Jule Styne, Stephen Schwartz, Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, Cole Porter, and Irving Berlin — how her lifelong love affair with Broadway began and the unpredictability of the Great White Way.

    The VIP Gala Experience offers an opening reception with open bar, seated dinner, complimentary valet parking, live auction, premium seating for the private concert by LuPone, and access to the after party with a live band and open bar.

    Tickets are also available for the concert + after party only, which range from $75 to $400 and include reserved concert seating and access to the after party experience with a live band.

    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.
