Ordway's 2025–26 Broadway season include 'The Addams Family,' 'Sister Act'
Seven Broadway musicals will make their way to St. Paul during the Ordway's recently announced 2025–26 season.
The season, which includes a few one-night-only concerts in its "Ordway Presents" series, starts with "The Addams Family," a musical based on the kooky but loving family, on Sept. 30.
It'll also feature presentations of "The Notebook," "Sister Act," and the Monty Python classic, "Spamalot."
'We're thrilled to share this new Broadway series, which offers a beautiful mix of humor, heart, and hope during the Ordway's 40th anniversary,' Ordway President and CEO Chris Harrington says. 'These seven powerhouse musicals tell incredible stories of relatable family dynamics and remarkable transformations – they'll have audiences laughing, dancing, and creating lasting memories.'
Here's a look at what's coming up at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts' upcoming season.
"The Addams Family" — Sept. 30–Oct. 5, 2025A musical featuring the familiar characters created by Charles Addams. It follows the family as Wednesday falls in love with a "normal" man and plans to marry him. That, of course, is a surprise to the family who basks in the darker elements of life.
"The Notebook" — Nov. 18–30, 2025It's a stage production featuring the music of singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson, based on the best-selling novel and familiar film starring Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling.
"Sister Act" — Dec. 9, 2025–Jan. 4, 2026The adaptation of the '90s film is coming to St. Paul from London's West End, with music by Tony and Oscar winner Alan Menken. Like the movie, it follows Deloris as she enters a convent for protection after witnessing a murder.
"Kimberly Akimbo" — Feb. 24–Mar. 1, 2026The new Tony-winning musical — including Best Musical — was created by a who's who of Broadway talent, including a book and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire ("Shrek"), a score by Jeanine Tesori ("Fun Home"), choreography by Danny Mefford ("Dear Evan Hansen"), and direction by Jessica Stone ("Water for Elephants").
"Mrs. Doubtfire" — Mar. 17–22, 2026The acclaimed musical based on one of Robin Williams' most iconic roles follows an out-of-work actor who poses as a nanny in a desperate attempt to spend time with his kids.
"Spamalot" — June 10–14, 2026Written and co-scored by Monty Python's Eric Idle, "Spamalot" is a spin on the British comedy troupe's beloved film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
"SIX" — June 17–28, 2026The six wives of Henry VII each get a chance to tell their story, turning "five hundred years of historical heartbreak into a euphoric celebration of 21st-century girl power."
Additionally, the Ordway has unveiled three performances in its "Ordway Presents" series that will take place during the 2025–26 season.
Classic Albums Live: The Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers: Note for Note, Cut for Cut — Oct. 11, 2025

What time are the 2025 Tony Awards? Where to watch and stream Show Caption Hide Caption Sarah Hyland reacts to Cynthia Erivo hosting the 2025 Tony Awards Sarah Hyland, currently on Broadway in "The Great Gatsby," was told by USA TODAY's Ralphie Aversa that Cynthia Erivo is hosting the Tonys this year. It's time for Broadway's biggest night after the biggest year at the box office for New York's celebrated theater district. The 78th Annual Tony Awards, "celebrating excellence in theatre," are scheduled to take place this weekend with a star-studded gala in New York City. "Wicked" star Cynthia Erivo will host this year's show as it returns to Radio City Music Hall in New York City, taking over emcee duties from Ariana DeBose, Tony Awards said in a news release. The ceremony will feature appearances by major stars and performances from the biggest musicals of the year, including a special tribute featuring the original cast of "Hamilton" to celebrate the musical's 10th anniversary. This year's Broadway season was ultra-competitive, unusually star-studded and routinely made headlines for its astronomical ticket prices and outspoken political firebrands. "Maybe Happy Ending," "Death Becomes Her" and "Buena Vista Social Club" lead the nominations with 10 nods a piece, including best musical. The strange-but-true "Dead Outlaw" and World War II spy satire "Operation Mincemeat" rounded out the best musical category. Cole Escola's madcap "Oh, Mary!" was a major force with five nods, including best play, best actor (Escola) and best featured actor (Conrad Ricamora). The unlikely hit comedy, which tells a deranged alternative history of Mary Todd Lincoln, has attracted high-profile celebrity audience members including Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lopez, Meryl Streep, and Steven Spielberg. In anticipation for the big night, here's what to know about the event, including who is performing, and how to watch it live.
