This season promises to bring extraordinary entertainment with new touring productions direct from Broadway and some all-time favorites.

“The 2025/26 Broadway at the Paramount season promises to be spectacular,” said Josh LaBelle, Executive Director of Seattle Theatre Group. “It is a perfect representation of the best Broadway has to offer, with beloved classics like The Lion King and The Phantom of the Opera, alongside shows that showcase theatrical innovation, including Shucked and Hell’s Kitchen. We are also proud to launch the national tour of Stereophonic right here in Seattle. STG is committed to creating arts experiences for all communities and I take pride in knowing that our Broadway series has something for everyone.”

The season starts sizzling with the Tony and Grammy Award® winning SOME LIKE IT HOT, a glorious musical and dance spectacular with two musicians on the run after witnessing a mob hit, who ultimately have the life-chasing, life-changing trip of a lifetime.

Next up is the most Tony Award®-winning show of 2024, STEREOPHONIC, which brings us inside a recording studio in 1976 with an up-and-coming rock band on the cusp of superstardom, experiencing all of the pressure that goes with it.

Early November brings SHUCKED, the hilarious corn-fed, corn-bred American musical sure to satisfy your appetite for great musical theater! It's a farm to fable story that will have you laughing your stalks off.

The holidays bring a treat this year with the first Season Option, back by popular demand, DISNEY’S THE LION KING, making its triumphant return to Seattle’s Paramount Theatre for a five-week engagement.

The new year brings the musical memoir, created in collaboration with Neil Diamond himself, A BEAUTIFUL NOISE: THE NEIL DIAMOND MUSICAL, the uplifting true story of how a kid from Brooklyn became a chart-busting, show-stopping American icon.

As Valentine’s Day approaches, the all-new Broadway Tour of THE WIZ comes to Seattle, with the first professional national tour in more than 40 years. THE WIZ changed the face of Broadway forever, with its iconic score of gospel, soul, and 70’s funk ushering Dorothy in to her place in the contemporary world.

In early Spring we open THE NOTEBOOK, based on the best-selling novel that inspired the iconic film. It tells the story of two people from different worlds, and the enduring power of their love.

Spring arrives and brings the next Season Option, one of the most celebrated musicals in theatrical history, LES MISÉRABLES, the timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit.

The final Season Option is up next as Seattle welcomes back THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, with its brilliant original production, setting the stage for the romantic and hauntingly beautiful story where jealousy, madness and passions collide.

Finally, the season closes with HELL’S KITCHEN, a coming-of-age story between a mother and daughter, set to the music from Grammy Award® -Winner Alicia Keys. It’s about finding yourself, your purpose, and the community that lifts you.

Winner of four Tony Awards®, including Best Choreography and Best Costumes, and the Grammy Award® for Best Musical Theater Album, SOME LIKE IT HOT is “A Super-Sized, All-Out Song-And-Dance Spectacular!” - The New York Times

Set in Chicago when Prohibition has everyone thirsty for a little excitement, SOME LIKE IT HOT is the “glorious, big, high-kicking” (Associated Press) story of two musicians forced to flee the Windy City after witnessing a mob hit. With gangsters hot on their heels, they catch a cross-country train for the life-chasing, life-changing trip of a lifetime.


STEREOPHONIC | October 7 – 12, 2025

The most Tony Award®-winning Show of the year. The most Tony Award®-nominated Play of all time. Stereophonic mines the agony and the ecstasy of creation as it zooms in on a music studio in 1976. Here, an up-and-coming rock band recording a new album finds itself suddenly on the cusp of superstardom. The ensuing pressures could spark their breakup — or their breakthrough. Written by David Adjmi, directed by Daniel Aukin, and featuring original music by Arcade Fire’s Will Butler, Stereophonic invites the audience to immerse themselves — with fly-on-the-wall intimacy — in the powder keg process of a band on the brink of blowing up.

With 120 million albums sold, a catalogue of classics like "America," "Forever in Blue Jeans," and "Sweet Caroline," an induction into the Songwriters and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame, a Grammy® Lifetime Achievement Award, and sold-out concerts around the world that made him bigger than Elvis, Neil Diamond's story was made to shine on Broadway-and head out on the road across America.

Like Jersey Boys and Beautiful: The Carole King Musical before it, A BEAUTIFUL NOISE: THE NEIL DIAMOND MUSICAL is an inspiring, exhilarating, energy-filled musical memoir, that tells the untold true story of how America's greatest hitmaker became a star, set to the songs that defined his career.


THE WIZ | February 10 – 15, 2026

The Tony Award®-winning Best Musical that took the world by storm is back.

This groundbreaking twist on The Wizard of Oz changed the face of Broadway—from its iconic score packed with soul, gospel, rock, and 70s funk to its stirring tale of Dorothy’s journey to find her place in a contemporary world.

With direction by Schele Williams (The Notebook, revival of Disney’s Aida), choreography by JaQuel Knight (Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies,” Black Is King) and additional material by Tony-nominated and Emmy-nominated writer and TV host Amber Ruffin (The Amber Ruffin Show, Late Night with Seth Meyers), this dynamite infusion of ballet, jazz, and modern pop brings a whole new groove to easing on down the road. Everybody rejoice!


THE NOTEBOOK: THE MUSICAL | March 3 – 8, 2026

THE NOTEBOOK: THE MUSICAL Based on the best-selling novel that inspired the iconic 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. “Full of butterfly-inducing highs and beautiful songs” (Entertainment Weekly).

THE NOTEBOOK is a deeply moving portrait of the enduring power of love. Chris Jones of The Chicago Tribune says THE NOTEBOOK is “absolutely gorgeous, not to be missed,” and The New York Daily News calls it “a love story for the ages.” THE NOTEBOOK is directed by Michael Greif (Dear Evan Hansen, Next to Normal, RENT) and Schele Williams (The Wiz, Aida), and features music and lyrics by multi-platinum singer-song writer Ingrid Michaelson, book by Bekah Brunstetter (NBC’s “This Is Us”), and choreography by Katie Spelman.


HELL’S KITCHEN | July 21 – 26, 2026

Ali is a 17-year-old girl full of fire – searching for freedom, passion and her place in the world.

How she finds them is a New York City coming-of-age story you've never felt before – HELL’S KITCHEN, a new musical from 16-time Grammy® Award winner Alicia Keys, whose new songs and greatest hits about growing up in NY inspire a story made for Broadway.

Rebellious and stifled by an overprotective single mother, Ali is lost until she meets her mentor: a neighbor who opens her heart and mind to the power of the piano. Set to the rhythm of the 90s, HELL'S KITCHEN is a love story between a mother and daughter. It's about finding yourself, your purpose, and the community that lifts you. Come remember where dreams begin.

Hailed as a New York Times Critic’s Pick that is, “thrilling from beginning to end – a rare must-see!" HELL’S KITCHEN is directed by four-time Tony Award® nominee Michael Greif, with choreography by four-time Tony Award® nominee Camille A. Brown, a book by Pulitzer Prize finalist Kristoffer Diaz, and the music of Alicia Keys.

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA | May 13 – 24, 2026

Cameron Mackintosh’s legendary production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is back to thrill American audiences once again featuring Maria Björnson’s brilliant original design.

First directed by Harold Prince with musical staging and choreography by Gillian Lynne, the brilliant original production has played to more than 160 million people in 47 territories and 195 cities in 21 languages. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s romantic, haunting and soaring score includes “The Music of the Night,” “All I Ask of You,” “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again,” “Masquerade” and the iconic title song. It tells the tale of a disfigured musical genius known only as ‘The Phantom’ who haunts the depths of the Paris Opera House. Mesmerized by the talents and beauty of a young soprano – Christine, The Phantom lures her as his protégé and falls fiercely in love with her. Unaware of Christine’s love for Raoul, The Phantom’s obsession sets the scene for a dramatic turn of events where jealousy, madness and passions collide.
