Tulsa theatergoers are in for a spectacular 2026-27 season, as Celebrity Attractions announced a lineup brimming with both beloved classics and exciting new productions. The six-show series, set to grace the stage at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center, promises a diverse range of stories – from comedic quests to dramatic tales of obsession and enduring love. Season ticket renewals begin Wednesday, March 25th, with new subscriptions becoming available in May, offering priority access to those registered for email updates at CelebrityAttractions.com/Tulsa.
The upcoming season balances familiar favorites with fresh Broadway hits, offering something for every taste. Four shows will be making their Tulsa premiere, even as two will return to the stage by popular demand. This carefully curated selection reflects a commitment to bringing high-quality theatrical experiences to the Tulsa community, and a desire to showcase the breadth and vibrancy of contemporary musical theater.
Kicking off the season in September 2026 is Monty Python’s SPAMALOT, the hilarious musical adaptation of the classic film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. As The Washington Post’s Peter Marks exclaimed, the show is “UNFAIR to produce me laugh this much! SPAMALOT is a tightly packed clown car speeding to musical theater nirvana!” The production, which originally premiered on Broadway in 2005, garnered 14 Tony Award nominations and ultimately took home three, including Best Musical. The show’s enduring appeal lies in its irreverent humor and memorable songs like “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.”
A Return to the Phantom’s Labyrinth
November 2026 will observe the return of a true theatrical icon: The Phantom of the Opera. This isn’t just any revival, but a revitalized production presented by Cameron Mackintosh, which received rave reviews upon its reopening in London in 2021. The Sunday Express hailed it as “More Spectacular Than Ever.” Featuring Maria Björnson’s original, breathtaking design and Harold Prince’s celebrated direction, alongside Gillian Lynne’s musical staging and choreography, this production promises to be a stunning spectacle. The Phantom of the Opera has captivated audiences worldwide, having been seen by over 160 million people in 47 territories and 195 cities across 21 languages. The haunting score, featuring classics like “The Music of the Night” and “All I Ask of You,” tells the story of a disfigured musical genius and his obsessive love for a young soprano.
From Cornfields to Broadway: Shucked
Jumping ahead to March 2027, audiences will be treated to the Tony Award-winning musical comedy Shucked. The show centers around a minor, isolated community whose livelihood depends on its corn crop, and the ensuing chaos when the corn begins to die. With a score penned by country music stars Shane McAnallay and Brandy Clark, and a book by Robert Horn of Designing Women fame, Shucked quickly became a fan favorite on Broadway. Songs like “Woman of the World” and “Somebody Will” have resonated with audiences, making this a must-see for musical theater enthusiasts.
A Hilarious Twist on Immortality: Death Becomes Her
April 2027 brings a darkly comedic twist with Death Becomes Her, the Tony Award-winning musical adaptation of the 1992 film starring Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn. Deadline called it the “Perfect Musical Comedy.” The show follows two rival actresses who stumble upon a potion promising eternal youth, with predictably hilarious consequences. Directed and choreographed by Tony winner Christopher Gattelli, Death Becomes Her has been praised by critics and audiences alike, with Variety calling it “a laugh-filled, tuneful musical to die for.”
Magic Returns with Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
For fans of the wizarding world, July 2027 will bring the spellbinding spectacle of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child to Tulsa. This record-breaking, six-time Tony Award-winning play continues the story of Harry Potter and his son Albus, exploring themes of family, friendship, and the power of choice. Forbes described it as “one of the most defining pop culture events of the decade.” The production is renowned for its innovative stagecraft and magical illusions, promising an immersive and unforgettable theatrical experience.
Alicia Keys Brings Hell’s Kitchen to Tulsa
Rounding out the season in August 2027 is Hell’s Kitchen, the award-winning musical created and inspired by 17-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys. The show follows Ali, a 17-year-old girl navigating life and finding her voice in the vibrant neighborhood of Hell’s Kitchen in New York City. Featuring a mix of Keys’ greatest hits and new original songs, Hell’s Kitchen is a celebration of self-discovery, community, and the power of music.
