Broadway San Diego Announces 49th Season Featuring Current Broadway Hits, Tony Award Winners, And Major Returning Favorites

Broadway San Diego has announced its upcoming 49th Season, bringing a lineup of current Broadway productions directly from New York City to the San Diego Civic Theatre. For the first time in the organization’s history, every show included in the seven-production subscription package is currently running on Broadway, giving local audiences a rare opportunity to experience the energy and artistry of New York’s theater scene without leaving San Diego.

The 2026-2027 season will open with the West Coast premiere of Oh, Mary! , the Tony Award–winning comedy and Pulitzer Prize finalist that has been hailed by critics as one of the most celebrated stage comedies in years. The season continues with The Outsiders , the four-time Tony Award–winning Best Musical that was originally developed at La Jolla Playhouse before becoming a Broadway sensation.

Also included in the season package is Buena Vista Social Club , the Tony and Grammy Award–winning musical inspired by the iconic Cuban album that helped introduce global audiences to Havana’s legendary musicians. The production will be followed by Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical , the Olivier and Tony Award-winning comedy based on the real-life World War II espionage operation that helped turn the tide of the war.

The season continues with Maybe Happy Ending , the six-time Tony Award–winning Best Musical about connection and humanity in a technology-driven world, and The Great Gatsby , a lavish Broadway spectacle based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel set during the Roaring Twenties. The 49th season will conclude with Death Becomes Her , the Tony Award–winning musical comedy based on the cult-favorite 1992 film.

In addition to the seven-show subscription series, Broadway San Diego will present several special engagements during the season. These include a new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera , the return of Disney’s globally beloved The Lion King , the ABBA-fueled hit musical Mamma Mia! , and the family-friendly stage show Bluey’s Big Play.

Season ticket packages for the 2026–2027 Broadway San Diego lineup are now available starting at $335 for the seven-show subscription series. Performances will run from September 2026 through August 2027 at the San Diego Civic Theatre, located at Third Avenue and B Street in downtown San Diego.
