Five Must-See Broadway Shows Coming to Vancouver
& Juliet Brings Pop Music and a Fresh Twist to Shakespeare
September 29 to October 4, 2026
What if Juliet didn’t end her story the way Shakespeare intended? That’s the question at the heart of & Juliet.
This modern musical reimagines the classic love story and pairs it with a soundtrack packed with popular hits. As a result, it has become one of Broadway’s most talked-about recent productions.
Beauty and the Beast Returns to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre
November 24 to 29, 2026
Disney’s beloved classic is returning to the stage with updated sets, costumes, and all the familiar songs audiences know and love.
Whether you grew up watching the animated film or discovered the story through previous stage productions, Beauty and the Beast continues to be a crowd-pleaser for all ages.
Mrs. Doubtfire Brings Comedy and Heart to Vancouver
January 19 to 24, 2027
Based on the popular film, Mrs. Doubtfire follows a father who takes extraordinary measures to remain close to his children after a difficult separation.
While the story delivers plenty of laughs, it also explores family, love, and resilience. Consequently, it has connected with audiences well beyond fans of the original movie.
Hamilton Returns to Vancouver for a Limited Run
May 26 to June 13, 2027
Few musicals have had the cultural impact of Hamilton.
Created by Lin-Manuel Miranda, the production blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and traditional musical theatre to tell the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton.
This is one of my personal favourite musicals and one I would happily see again. If you haven’t experienced it yet, this is definitely the show to prioritize.
The Bodyguard Features Whitney Houston’s Biggest Hits
July 6 to 11, 2027
If you loved the film, you’ll likely enjoy the stage adaptation.
The Bodyguard combines a story of fame, protection, and unexpected romance with many of the unforgettable songs made famous by Whitney Houston. Not only does it deliver plenty of nostalgia, but it also showcases some impressive vocal performances.
From Hamilton to Beauty and the Beast, This Lineup Has Range
What makes this season particularly appealing is its variety.
On one hand, audiences can experience newer productions like & Juliet. On the other hand, classic titles such as Beauty and the Beast continue to attract generations of theatre-goers. Meanwhile, Hamilton remains one of the most celebrated musicals of the past decade.
According to Broadway Across Canada Vice President Shana Levin, the goal is to create shared experiences through live theatre while making Broadway-calibre productions accessible to audiences across Canada.
As someone who attends these productions regularly, I can honestly say they offer the closest experience to seeing a Broadway show in New York without leaving Vancouver.
