Performing Arts Fort Worth has once again outdone itself. The newly announced 2025–2026 Broadway at the Bass Season presented by PNC Bank at Bass Performance Hall is officially the biggest in the Hall’s history, boasting an unprecedented 14 national Broadway tours—beating last season’s record of 12.
With nine shows in the season ticket package and five exciting add-ons, this is a season that truly has something for everyone. From blockbuster musicals and laugh-out-loud comedies to powerful dramas and screen-to-stage adaptations, the upcoming season is all about variety, discovery, and depth.
Whether you're planning a date night, a family outing, or a girls' night, Bass Hall has you covered with a year-round calendar of Broadway entertainment.
A Season With Something For Everyone
This year’s programming embraces a through-line of time, memory, and history, where each show—whether set in 1913 or in the future—invites audiences to reflect on the past in a fresh way.
“Several of this season’s shows look back over the years or retell historic stories, while others explore the concept of time itself like Back to the Future: The Musical,” explained Jackson Pollock, Assistant Director of Marketing. “Many of the shows invite you to look at the past and how those stories still resonate today.”
“The season also features some of the freshest shows on Broadway right now or that were recently on Broadway,” Pollock added.

Here is a preview of the highly anticipated 2025-2026 season:
- Life of Pi – A visual marvel and Tony Award® winner, this stage adaptation of the bestselling novel uses breathtaking puppetry and effects to tell the story of a boy stranded at sea with a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan and a Bengal tiger.
- A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical – A toe-tapping celebration of one of America’s most beloved singer-songwriters. From “Sweet Caroline” to “Cracklin’ Rosie,” this musical takes you inside the hits, heart, and history of Neil Diamond’s life.
- & Juliet – A pop-fueled remix of Shakespeare’s classic that’s bursting with energy and girl power. A recent favorite on Broadway, this musical was a fan-favorite in Dallas and is making its Fort Worth debut.
- Six – Back by popular demand, this hit reimagines the six wives of Henry VIII as a fierce pop girl group. If you missed it last time, now’s your chance.
- Back to the Future: The Musical – A crowd-pleaser based on the 1985 film, complete with a time-traveling DeLorean and jaw-dropping special effects.
- Some Like It Hot – Inspired by the classic Marilyn Monroe film, this jazzy, updated production brings big laughs, dazzling choreography, and a Grammy®-winning score .
- Spamalot – Monty Python’s irreverent take on the legend of King Arthur returns, promising belly laughs and outrageous fun.
- The Notebook – A deeply moving adaptation of the best-selling novel, with music by singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson. Emotional, unexpected, and unforgettable.
- Suffs – A bold and timely new musical about the brilliant, passionate and funny American women who fought tirelessly for the right to vote. Fort Worth is the only Texas stop for this production—making it a can’t-miss event.
“I think there will be many surprises this season, The Notebook being one of them,” shared Erica Ludwig, Content and Communications Manager for PAFW. “People think they know the story, but this stage adaptation tells it in a whole new way. When I first saw it, I felt they kept everything necessary to the story, but it’s not just like watching the movie on stage—the show stands on its own.”

But most of all, being a season ticket holder allows you to discover your new favorite show.
“A lot of the feedback we get from season ticket holders, and I’ve also found this to be personally true, is that sometimes the shows you’re not interested in or aren’t sure what they’re about end up being your favorite shows,” Pollock said. “That’s part of the fun—being open to new stories and experiences! You’re never going to find your new favorite show if you’re not going out and seeing new shows.”
