Theatre Under The Stars is bringing Broadway’s hottest ticket to Houston! The 2026/27 season features everything from beloved classics to the new irreverent comedy, Oh, Mary!
The 2026/27 season at the Hobby Center opens in September with the beloved classic Meredith Willson’s The Music Man, a joyful celebration of community, romance, and some of Broadway’s most iconic songs. In October, big laughs take center stage as the regional premiere of Mrs. Doubtfire brings all the heart and hilarity of the beloved film to the musical stage. The holidays sparkle with Disney’s The Little Mermaid, as Theatre Under The Stars transforms the stage into an underwater world filled with beloved characters, unforgettable music, and theatrical magic for audiences of all ages.
The season continues in February with The Who’s Tommy, the electrifying rock opera that changed the course of music history, back in a dazzling all-new production that feels more relevant than ever.
Spring brings high heels and high spirits as the Tony®-winning Kinky Boots struts into Houston with its uplifting message and infectious energy.
Closing out the season, TUTS brings one of Broadway’s hottest tickets to Houston with Oh, Mary!, a razor-sharp, Pulitzer Prize finalist comedy that reimagines history – with absurd and intentional historic inaccuracy – following Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to her husband’s assassination.
