Oh, Mary! sports a who's who of queer talent: Non-binary writer/performer Cole Escola, known for the TV show Search Party, is a 2025 Tony Award nominee for writing and starring in this irreverent comedy about the life of Mary Todd Lincoln. Conrad Ricamora and James Scully, who appeared on screen together in the gay rom-com Fire Island, co-star as Mary's Husband and Mary's Teacher.

The campy, critically acclaimed show takes place in the weeks before Abraham Lincoln's assassination, when alcoholism, desire, and a fierce longing to be a cabaret performer turn Mary's life upside down.

Shall we go for it? This campy parody musical is a kooky retelling of James Cameron's film Titanic through the character of Celine Dion, set to Dion's catalog of timeless hits. Multiple queer actors have appeared in Titanique, and it's by the all-queer writing team of Tye Blue, Constantine Rousouli, and Marla Mindelle.

Jack and Rose may be a straight couple, but Titanique is a love letter to the LGBT+ community, with plenty of references to queer pop culture, updated regularly as new trends go viral. New York Theatre Guide's four-star review calls Titanique "as much a love letter to the Titanic movie as it is to the people obsessed with that movie: pop culture-savvy, queer theatre kids, or so the creators presume from experience [...] Older and/or less theatre-obsessed audiences will find more of their enjoyment in the recreations of all the major Titanic movie moments and the Dion hits that score the show."

For four performances only, from June 12-15, British performer Rob Madge finally brings their solo show to New York after a 2024 Broadway premiere got postponed indefinitely. With colorful costumes, reenactments of moments from their childhood, home videos, and original songs, Madge pays homage to their family, who supported their early interests in Disney and theatre and, later, their non-binary identity.

All we need to say is that Death Becomes Her opens with a song called "For the Gaze," and yes, it sounding like "for the gays" is intentional. The Meryl Streep/Goldie Hawn film of the same name has gained a large cult following of queer fans since its 1992 premiere, and that song is a love letter to them as well as a plain entertaining showstopper (complete with half a dozen costume changes) for everyone else. And the musical — about feuding frenemies who drink an eternal-youth potion with consequences — only gets more hilarious from there.

Queen of Hearts is a burlesque variety show based on the classic children's tale of Alice in Wonderland. People don't often associate that story with LGBT themes, and that's still not the core focus of this sexy, adult version. But Alice gets tempted by all the wild wiles of Wonderland — including magical creatures of all genders and persuasions. Anything is possible in Wonderland, the show seems to say. You don't have to be mad to be there — just curious, playful, and open-minded.

For even more burlesque fun, go right across the street from Queen of Hearts to Cocktail Magique, a variety show that combines magic, mixology, and more.

Performers of all genders serve up circus-like entertainment, intoxicating illusions, and plenty of libations. Yes, you get to drink along; every ticket type includes at least one cocktail distributed throughout the performance. Everyone gets a few snacks and access to plenty of water, too.

It's gonna be you that sees & Juliet this June. In this nine-time Tony-nominated musical, Juliet — of Romeo & Juliet fame — decides not to die when Romeo does but instead ditches Verona for Paris in search of a new life and love.

& Juliet features characters old and new, and among the new characters is May, Juliet's non-binary pal who finds a star-crossed love of their own with the romance-challenged Francois. Not only is the show a celebration of all kinds of love, but it's simply a party. & Juliet is set to 30 chart-topping hits by songwriter/producer Max Martin (the man behind "...Baby One More Time," "Since U Been Gone," "I Want It That Way," and much more) and electric dancing by queer, two-time Tony-nominated choreographer Jennifer Weber. What more could you ask for in a larger-than-life Pride musical?

"No matter your desire, you're welcome here, for this is more than a nightclub. The Moulin Rouge is a state of mind." These lines from this musical's opening number set the tone immediately: Everyone can escape the outside world when they enter the iconic French hotspot by way of the Al Hirschfeld Theatre and freely be their most authentic selves. Pleasure, glamour, and fabulosity are the name of the game at this 10-time Tony-winning Best Musical adapted from Baz Luhrmann's film.

See the timeless love story of the writer Christian and showgirl Satine in 1899 Paris, set to more than 40 pop hits by artists ranging from Elton John to Lady Gaga. There's no better time than Pride Month to see a story that celebrates true love persisting against all odds.

At opening night, one Pirates! The Penzance Musical cast member told us they'd recommend the show to RuPaul's Drag Race fans. No doubt that's because Jinkx Monsoon, the only two-time Drag Race winner, stars in the show as pirate queen Ruth alongside David Hyde Pierce, Ramin Karimloo, and more. This Pirates of Penzance revival sets the silly action in New Orleans, with all the color and energy of a Mardi Gras parade — or a Pride parade.

Through July 20, country music star Orville Peck is your host at the Cabaret, starring as the Emcee opposite Broadway favorite Eva Noblezada. Following in the footsteps of other celebrated gay stars like Joel Grey, Alan Cumming, and Adam Lambert, Peck presides over Berlin's Kit Kat Club, where everyone of every persuasion is welcomed — until they're not. This classic musical blends nightclub-style entertainment with a gripping, urgent storyline of the gradual rise of fascism in a once-safe space.

If there's one thing people of all stripes can agree on, it's the powerhouse talent of Bernadette Peters and Lea Salonga. The two theatre titans lead a 20-person cast in this revue celebrating Stephen Sondheim, an influential gay theatre composer and one of the most iconic Broadway composers, period. Songs from hit shows like Gypsy, Into the Woods, West Side Story, Sweeney Todd, and many more are featured in this joyous spectacular.

Dueling divas, dirty deeds, and dancing chorus boys: Who could ask for anything more from a Broadway musical comedy? Smash, loosely adapted from the same-named NBC show, takes audiences into rehearsals for a Marilyn Monroe musical, which is shaken by every kind of behind-the-scenes drama you can think of. The show is a smashing good time, featuring the hit songs from the TV series, like the Emmy-winning "Let Me Be Your Star."

This reimagined production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's classic musical is a celebration of queer history, set in the NYC ballroom scene. In the late 20th century, queer people, largely those of color, would gather to compete in "balls" for prizes and glory. They would often compete on behalf of houses — groups of people who became each other's chosen family.

In Cats, the characters compete to see who will ascend to the blissful Heaviside Layer and get a chance at new life. This revival, an Off-Broadway hit in 2024, is teasing an NYC return, so keep an eye out for more information in Pride month and beyond.
