Frequently asked questions

When does Broadway's fall season start?

Broadway's fall season begins after Labor Day and builds through the holidays, with most new shows opening between September and early December. It's one of the busiest stretches on the calendar, as Broadway, off-Broadway, opera, and concerts all launch new work at once. The full list above shows everything opening this fall in one place.

What new shows are opening on Broadway this fall 2026?

This fall's Broadway openings include A Few Good Men, Much Ado About Nothing, Galileo, The Fantasticks, Inter Alia, Wanted, and A View from the Bridge, plus Other Desert Cities and Billy Crystal 860. The Top Picks This Fall tab above rounds up the season's most anticipated openings.

How much are Broadway tickets this fall?

Prices vary by show, but booking during previews (before opening night) is often the most affordable way in, since demand and pricing tend to climb after reviews land. You can also filter by price above, enter a digital lottery, or grab same-day Rush seats on the TodayTix app for the lowest fares.

Why should I book fall shows early?

Fall is when the New York calendar refills, and the best-reviewed openings tend to sell out fastest once opening night hits. Booking during previews locks in a seat before opening-night pricing climbs. The Top Picks This Fall tab above is the fastest way to see what's worth booking first.

What off-Broadway shows are opening this fall in NYC?

Off-Broadway's fall slate includes Pre-Existing Condition, Kramer/Fauci at St. Ann's Warehouse, The Cherry Orchard, Degenerates at Playwrights Horizons, and Good Time Charlie at The Public. Use the Category filter above to narrow the full list to plays, musicals, and more.

What family-friendly shows are opening in NYC this fall?

Fall brings a run of shows made for younger audiences, including Seussical, Annie, A Christmas Carol the Musical, Red Riding Hood, and Violet's Magic Glasses. The Family & Kid Friendly tab above lists the fall openings worth bringing the kids to.

Are there opera or classical concerts opening this fall in NYC?

Yes. The Metropolitan Opera's fall season includes Così fan tutte, La Bohème, and Tosca, and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center runs a series of fall concerts at Alice Tully Hall. They appear alongside the theater openings in the full list above.
