A storybook season awaits as the nonprofit Tennessee Performing Arts Center® announced its 2025-26 Broadway at TPAC season, as part of its 45th Anniversary. The upcoming season features six Nashville premieres, plus the return of a classic fairy tale and the revolutionary re-telling of American history, with two-week engagements of Hamilton and Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.
The lineup celebrates stories that range American theatre’s past, present and future with the groundbreaking twist on The Wizard of Oz, The Wiz; the brilliant, passionate and funny American women who fought tirelessly for the right to vote, Suffs; the beloved, cinematic classic that is now a Broadway musical, Back To The Future: The Musical; the life-chasing, life-changing trip of a lifetime, Some Like It Hot; the bestselling novel with a poignant reminder that life – and love – can begin again at any age, Water For Elephants; and the coming-of-age story that takes you to Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1967, Tony Award®-winning Best Musical, The Outsiders.
In addition, TPAC will present three limited return engagement presentations, including the world’s most popular musical, Les Misérables; the global sensation that remixes five hundred years of historic heartbreak told by the six wives of Henry VIII, SIX; and the outrageous musical comedy of a mismatched pair of missionaries sent halfway across the world to spread the Good Word, The Book Of Mormon.
“For 45 years, TPAC has brought stories to life on our stages, creating unforgettable memories and fostering connections that inspire and entertain. This milestone 45th Anniversary season celebrates the transformative power of live theatre, featuring timeless classics and groundbreaking new works that honor our past, reflect our present, and look toward the future as America approaches its 250th birthday,” says Jennifer Turner, TPAC President and CEO.
“We invite audiences to join us on this remarkable journey through American storytelling, reinforcing TPAC’s role as a cultural cornerstone for Tennessee and a premier destination for extraordinary performing arts experiences.”

Hadestown returns to TPAC March 7 – 9
Welcome back to Hadestown, where a song can change your fate. The musical previously played TPAC’s Jackson Hall from November 1–6, 2022. Winner of eight 2019 Tony Awards® including Best Musical and the 2020 Grammy® Award for Best Musical Theater Album, this acclaimed show from celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and original director Rachel Chavkin (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) is a love story for today… and always. Hadestown intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers and singers, Hadestown is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go. Performances are Friday, March 7 at 7:30 PM; Saturday, March 8 at 2:00 PM and 7:30 PM; and Sunday, March 9 at 1:00 PM and 6:30 PM.
