Broadway Shows in May 2026

Early summer on Broadway is an exciting time to book a long-running hit musical or a new prestige drama. Be sure to catch Tony winner Daniel Radcliffe in Every Brilliant Thing and Olivier nominee John Lithgow in Giant, both closing this month. Or, why not grab tickets for family favourite musicals Wicked, SIX, and The Lion King, or be enchanted by a truly magical play with Harry Potter and the Cursed Child? Plus, more shows are to be announced and available to book soon! We also recommend looking at shows Off-Broadway in May, as the Lucille Lortel Awards winners are announced at the start of the month. This prestigious ceremony celebrates the best plays and musicals at New York theater’s smaller venues.

As more new shows are announced for the coming season, we also recommend looking at tickets for Broadway shows in June and July.
