Manhattan Concert Productions will bring Charlotte Brontë’s timeless novel to the stage in a new concert adaptation, Jane Eyre, starring Broadway favorites Erika Henningsen and Ramin Karimloo. The semi-staged production is scheduled for a single performance on Sunday, February 15, 2026, at the David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center.
Following the success of their earlier production of Anastasia: The Musical, Manhattan Concert Productions continues its Broadway Series with this ambitious undertaking. The stage adaptation of Jane Eyre features music and lyrics by Paul Gordon, with additional lyrics by John Caird, promising a fresh take on the beloved story.
Leading the cast, Erika Henningsen, known for her role in Mean Girls, will embody the titular character, Jane Eyre. Opposite her, Ramin Karimloo (Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera) will portray the complex and brooding Edward Fairfax Rochester. The ensemble cast also includes Caroline Bowman (Frozen, Wicked) as Mother of Jane, Sophie and Blanche Ingram; David Michael Garry (The Phantom of the Opera) as Robert and the Vicar; Ellen Harvey (How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying) as Mrs. Reed, Lady Ingram, and Grace Poole; Mark Kudisch (Girl From the North Country) as Mr. Brocklehurst and Richard Mason; Emily Skinner (Side Show) as Abbot and Mrs. Fairfax; and Elizabeth Stanley (Jagged Little Pill) as Bertha Mason, Miss Scatcherd, and Bessie.
The production will be under the direction of Tony Yazbeck, with Brad Hook serving as musical director. Madison Hicks and Tony Yazbeck will lead the choreography, while the visual landscape will be crafted by scenography from Beowulf Boritt and Alexis Distler. Completing the creative team are Andrew Keister for sound design, Ben Stanton for lighting design, and Stephanie Mae Fisher for costumes.
The musical will be performed by the New York City Chamber Orchestra, accompanied by a powerful 400-voice choir, promising a truly immersive experience. “We are thrilled to return to Lincoln Center for the next chapter of our Broadway Series,” stated Craig Arnold, Executive Producer of Manhattan Concert Productions. “Each year, this series combines the best of Broadway with extraordinary orchestral and choral forces to create something truly unforgettable. Jane Eyre is a powerful story and we look forward to sharing this concert experience with audiences at the David Geffen Hall.”
