The Rocky Horror Show is a bedrock of queer pop culture. Made into a cult-classic phenomenon with the 1975 film adaptation and its infamous midnight screenings, the original musical is now back on stage once more. Do the time warp, choose your callouts sparingly, and see a stacked lineup of stage and screen greats bring to life Dr. Frank-N-Furter and his mansion of weird and wonderful creatures.

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.

Shall we go for it? This campy parody musical is a kooky retelling of the Titanic movie set to Dion's catalog of timeless hits. It's by an all-queer, Tony-nominated writing team of Tye Blue, Constantine Rousouli, and Marla Mindelle, and it's showcased lots of iconic queer celebs throughout its Off-Broadway run and current Broadway transfer.

New York Theatre Guide's Off-Broadway 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."

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.

The musical — about feuding frenemies who drink an eternal-youth potion with consequences — only gets more hilarious from there. See it before it closes June 28!

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.

Oh, Mary! is a campy, critically acclaimed show that 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.

Heading up the Oh, Mary! administration are two Tony-winning queer creators: writer Cole Escola and director Sam Pinkleton, whose show has played host to a who's-who of queer talent throughout its run.

"Somewhere love is waiting for you," Mayor Menlove sings in Schmigadoon!, as much comforting someone who just got dumped as reminding himself he'll be able to love fully someday. His desires are apparent from his name, but his old-fashioned constituents don't approve — at least not at first. Like all the Golden Age musicals Schmigadoon! spoofs, there's always a happy ending when it comes to true love.

Even though the 1987 vampire film The Lost Boys isn't a canonically LGBTQ+ movie, fans have long heralded it as a formative piece of queer-coded cinema. The new musical adaptation honors that legacy — built on found-family dynamics, glam-rock fashion, and a close-knit community (of vampires) living on society's fringes — and builds on it with even more queer subtext. All the fan-favorite hallmarks of the movie remain, with cutting-edge Broadway spectacle to make the experience even more thrilling.

The iconic 1975 movie Dog Day Afternoon, and now its Broadway stage adaptation, is inspired by the true story of a man who organized a bank robbery to pay for his partner's gender transition surgery. The plan fails, spectacularly and sometimes humorously, but it's a nonetheless powerful reminder of how far people will go for the ones they love. (If you're looking to do something big for your significant other, though, maybe just get them tickets to this show instead.)

Petite Rouge is a burlesque variety show based on the classic children's tale of Little Red Riding Hood. People don't often associate that story with LGBT themes, and that's still not the focus of this sexy, adult version. But Red experiences a world of temptations not restrained by tradition, and the show suggests that perhaps it's okay to stray from the path once in a while.
