See these Broadway shows this winter

Winter performances on Broadway still have plenty of great seats available.

So bundle up and take a trip to the theatre! All these Broadway shows have plenty of tickets available this month. If you've been meaning to see a show to kick off the New Year, or are dying to get into that buzzy musical you've heard so much about, now's the perfect chance.

Gypsy

Everything's coming up roses for six-time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald, the latest Broadway powerhouse to play the towering role of Mama Rose in Gypsy. The classic musical, based on real events, follows her efforts to turn her daughters into stars — and she'll do anything to make it happen.

Eureka Day

Jonathan Spector's Eureka Day, which previously played to acclaim in London, makes audiences laugh and debate all at once. When a mumps outbreak sweeps a California private school with a liberal vaccine policy, the board has to do something it's never done: make decisions that won't please everybody.

English

In 2022, Sanaz Toossi's play premiered off Broadway. In 2023, it won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. And in 2025, audiences can experience the story on Broadway. In an Iranian classroom where adult students are prepping for the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), they grapple with the possibilities a new language opens up for them — and also what parts of their cultural identity they'll lose.

More winter Broadway shows

Since only a few new shows open in the winter and the tourist crowds have subsided, the winter months are the perfect time to check a long-running hit off your bucket list.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Is there a spell to make the winter chill go away? If not, you can at least trade it for a few hours in the Wizarding World at Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Follow a new generation of wizards alongside the beloved Golden Trio as they go on a time-traveling adventure to change Wizarding history — and maybe try to fix it.

The Book of Mormon

Go two by two to The Book of Mormon after getting great ticket prices. For the last 10-plus years, this heavenly comedy from the creators of South Park has made audiences laugh like hell with decidedly non-church-approved humor. Two Mormon missionaries have to get creative when they're sent to convert a Ugandan village, whose residents aren't so receptive to the good word.

& Juliet

Live your teenage dreams at & Juliet, the hit new pop musical in which Shakespeare's Juliet travels abroad and finds herself instead of dying young. Her journey is set to 30 chart-topping hits from Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Ariana Grande, Bon Jovi, and more that'll have you grooving along.

Wicked

How wonderful does an escape to Oz sound? Spend one short day there at Wicked, the most swankified musical on Broadway. You may know the story of The Wizard of Oz, but before the events of that book happened, the Wicked Witch was just a misunderstood girl named Elphaba, who was best friends with the Good Witch, Glinda. You'll be changed for good after seeing the fan-favorite Wicked.

The Lion King

Beat the winter cold by spending a few hours in sunny Africa at The Lion King, the roaring musical based on the beloved Disney movie. The lion cub Simba must grow up to fight his Uncle Scar and take back the kingdom that's rightfully his, in his late father's honor. For its intricate and innovative life-size puppetry that brings the animal kingdom to life, The Lion King was an instant Broadway sensation when the show opened in 1997. Audiences continue to feel the love at the musical nearly 25 years later.

Hadestown

What'cha gonna do when the temps are down? Warm up with the gods at Hadestown. The musical, which won eight Tony Awards including Best Musical, is a modern retelling of Greek mythology, an epic love story at the center. The enchanting musician Orpheus takes a perilous journey to Hadestown to rescue his love, Eurydice. One journey that's easy, though, is the trip to the Walter Kerr Theatre, where you can see this otherworldly show.

Chicago

Chicago is a Broadway staple that's always there to welcome you in for a lively, glitzy, criminally fun evening of theatre. With catchy jazz music and sleek choreography that's now synonymous with Bob Fosse, this musical has been killing it on Broadway for more than 25 years and has featured dozens of celebrities in its lead roles. The housewife/wannabe vaudeville singer Roxie Hart gets an unexpected big break when she murders her lover and Billy Flynn, a suave lawyer with a spotless record, gets her name on the front page of every newspaper in the city.

Moulin Rouge! The Musical

Truth. Beauty. Freedom. Love. And a giant red windmill. That's what you'll find inside the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, which has been transformed into the titular Parisian nightclub for the Tony-winning Moulin Rouge! The Musical. The lively, lavish musical adaptation of Baz Luhrmann's hit film retains all the music and sparkle you'd expect from the "spectacular spectacular" on stage, including dozens of chart-topping pop songs. Groove along with the bohemian writer Christian, who falls into a fated romance with Satine, the leading showgirl at the Moulin Rouge nightclub.

Aladdin

Arabia's a lot warmer than New York in winter! So if you can't actually travel there (by magic carpet or otherwise) to escape the cold, spend a few hours at Aladdin instead. The musical adaptation of the Disney classic has been bringing audiences from around the globe to a whole new world since 2014. The titular character is a poor street urchin who falls in love with Princess Jasmine. Aladdin gets his chance to win her over when he finds a wish-granting Genie in a magic lamp, but will all his wishes come true?
