The Full Monty Revival

2026 is halfway over, which means that the 2026/27 Broadway season has just begun! Now that the 79th Annual Tony Awards have concluded, all eyes are already on the lineup for the new Broadway season and many Broadway productions have already revealed full details of their upcoming engagements.

Kevin Clifton leads the initial cast announced for the major national tour of THE FULL MONTY, marking the film's 30th anniversary. The production opens in Sheffield, where the film is set, before touring the UK.

As New York prepares for the 2026 Tony Award nominations and honors the recent Lucille Lortel winners, producers are facing tough questions about whether traditional 8 PM curtain times are driving audiences away. The business landscape is shifting heavily behind the scenes, marked by the merger of licensing giants BMG and Concord, looming strike ballots in the West End, and the Kennedy Center's controversial two-year shutdown. Despite these logistical and financial challenges—including a devastating embezzlement case at a Pennsylvania community theatre—there is plenty of positive momentum to report, from the rapid financial recoupment of the Suffs national tour to new initiatives supporting theater education and large-scale playwriting.

John Partridge, known for EastEnders and West End roles, will star as Dr. Hannibal Lecter in the world stage premiere of THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, adapted by Gina Gionfriddo and directed by Nikolai Foster.

A former treasurer of Washington Community Theatre has been accused of embezzling more than $40,000. The nonprofit has canceled its 2026 season as a result. Fundraising efforts are now underway to support a 2027 return.
